Team: 2022-23 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: May 12, 2022

Published: May 12, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Fire Cassidy Hire Trotz or let Sacco become HC
Don't Resign Sweeney not sure what GM market their is but find someone

PROs to new roster
-Future 1C acquired
-Roster relatively younger while still staying as a very competitive squad
-Bigger, more physically dominant team
- Improved defensively both on the Dcore and forward core (shatten kirk and Hague both very reliable 5v5 defensively and Both marchment and Mcleod bring very good defence, kane and woods are good defensively but they bring a strong physical presence)
- acquired more picks and prospects to have a more promising future
- team is more cap friendly and no upcoming 7+ mill extensions will be needed for a while

CON's
- no true #1 goal scorer anymore, team scoring will become more spread out
-Pasta is a team favourite and league favourite, team will get lots of backlash for trade but anyone who cares about our cap and future will see this move could be a huge positive for us (Pasta is my favourite players aswell so it would be hard seeing him go)

Overall i think the Pro's heavily out favour the cons, many guys like debrusk/ pasta/ Grizzy i don't want to see go but i think boston needs to start a big retool now so they could potentially compete for the cup and build for the post bergy ERA

Trades

BOS

McLeod, Michael
Mercer, Dawson
Wood, Miles [RFA Rights]
2022 2nd round pick (NJD)
2023 1st round pick (NJD)
2024 2nd round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

1st is top 5 Protected
i expect it to be around 8-12th OA

NJ still could go with slafkovsky and really solidify their Wing corp or they could go with nemec or jiricek to solidify their RHD core especially with the possibility severson could be traded or leave in UFA i doubt they would go with savoie or cooley but they could and then transition them to wing

NJD

Pastrnak, David

Additional Details:

Pasta extends to a 8x8.5 extension

i see pasta signing with NJ they are a young team built more around his prime and i think he would see the potential success he could have with hughes and bratt and for sure sign he could be a consistent 50 goal scorer have hughes dishing him the puck 5v5 and PP

BOS

2022 3rd round pick (PIT)
2023 1st round pick (LAK)
2023 4th round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

top 8 protected

- LA needs a top 4 LHD i think he would pair well with Roy
- they also need goal scoring depth arvidsson isn't scoring like he used to, kaliyev is still a season or 2 away from surpassing high 20's so really right now their only high danger scorer is kempe

LAK

BOS

Dufour, William
2022 2nd round pick (COL)
2024 3rd round pick (NYI)

Are you really that confident an inquiring team is going to offer Sweeney a 1st for Debrusk this off-season? It's the GM's who set the market, and then the player agents latch onto the initiators

I’m extremely confident that if that price isn’t met, and it may be higher than that, that he just stays a bruin. Not like he’s an expiring contract. Circle up a year from now and this may inch closer to a, “take what you can get,” conversation.

It seems like this board has collectively forgotten that the bruins don’t have to trade debrusk.

They certainly don't have to trade him next season at least

Read.

I read it.

But the trade includes a 2022 pick, which means it happens at or before the July 8th draft.

The earliest Pastrnak can sign an extension is July 13th.

So, this trade, at the time it is done, would be for 1-year of Pastrnak.

So why would they take less?

Don’t holtz and mercer have around the same value?

I would say yes. Only give the edge to Mercer because he’s played a full year in the NHL and we know he’s a good player. Holtz looks like he’s going to be also, but doesn’t make sense to trade a kid after a 42 pt rookie year

I mean, he just objectively is. A 25 year old 25 goal scorer is getting a first when signed for two more years at $4M. His 2022 was really good. 20 goals in 52 games

Could be true, but I wouldn't want the Kings to give up a 1st for him. He's not a better option than the Kings current top-six wingers. Kempe, Iafallo, Moore, and Arvidsson are all just as good or better and aren't going anywhere in the near future.

You didn’t honestly put iafallo on that category, did you?

Sure did. I'd much rather have Iafallo than DeBrusk on my team.

Says you.

Iafallo is one of the most underrated players in the league and he's signed for 3 more years at an incredibly team-friendly $4M. He's also the picture of consistency, of which DeBrusk is not.

I wouldn't trade Iafallo for DeBrusk, 1-for-1.

At least you're a big enough person to admit that you need help.
