they may be tight for cap now but this is a very solid team i could see making a deep run
bergy and marchy start taking a little bit of a less role and now try to develop studnicka or possibly even lysell if he makes another large jump in his game like he did this year.
hertl centers hall and pasta all of them are good skaters which will mess well and pasta and hertl are fellow countrymen they could end up developing really good chemistry together.
personally i believe lysell, jellvik, lohrei, mast and beecher will all be in the AHL next year, depending on if we need depth and or again how well they develop i could see lohrei and lysell getting a few games with the big club.
bruins in the following offseason will clear a lot of cap with bergy, foligno, nosek, smith, cliffy all off the books
depending on if bergy retires or not i see his contract continuing to get smaller so lets say we prioritize on signing only sway, pasta, bergy, freddy with 23 mill in cap
i say bergy gets 4mill 1 yr
pasta 8 mill 6yr
freddy 1.5mill 3yr
swayman 4mill 4 yr
that leaves us with 5.5 mill and very few roster spots to fill as by then i expect lysell, steen, lauko, lohrei, and possibly lyle, mast and harrison aswell if they do develop right then we could also clear grzz, forbort, and mcnabb's contract.
realistically bruins would now be going into a bit of a retool as marchy is starting to dip and bergy either is retired or a 3c now but having hertl, pasta, mcavoy, carlo, sway, lysell, lohrei and harrison will be great building blocks that allow bruins to pick up a few more mid rd picks and then start competing again with a solid prospect pool built up from our years of retooling not to mention we also have stud, mast, steen, lauko and beecher who all good be solid role players mast and stud maybe even solid top 4/ 2nd line players
just want to note outside of the strome and mcnabb trade which would be soon this year the other trades are just how much i value that player they could be moved anywhere.
Fire Ullmark into the sun, bring back Tuukka. That saves the team money and makes them better. Here is what the team needs:
1. Get rid of Ullmark/bring back Tuukka. Thanks Sweeney you dolt.
2. Get a center, Hertl is a good target.
3. Get a LD that can play with McAvoy in most situations. McNabb is not a good target.
4. And this is the important one…at least one, but probably two of the kids have to emerge as good NHL players. Studnicka, Zboril, Vaakanainen, or Lysell would be hopefuls.

I like Ullmark as of recently he has by far been the better of the 2 goalie, rask most likely comes back for 1 year so trading Ullmark would kill us the following year if swayman can't take on a 50-60 game load.
Personally i see Ullmark being moved closer to yr 3 of his deal probably around the TD of 23/24
I think yes he had a bad start but he is getting in a groove now, in his last 5 games he is 4-1 with a 2.00GAA and a .932 SV% that is pretty darn good considering he averaged 34 shots during those games and had 3 38+ save nights
Haula might be a nice add, but the Jets don't have the cap unless this is done in the of season.
fair enough again kinda just quickly thought of who could use him, im unaware of statsny's position but i know due to copp last 2 seasons and him only signing a 1yr deal he is most likely wanting a big payday
