Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

From everything that I’m seeing, it looks like the front office thinks that it’s a coaching/system issue. Which means that they think the roster only needs minor tweaks. Bergeron comes back ($5 mil plus incentives), Gryz gets moved, Foligno bought out and Lazar gets replaced either with a low cost UFA like Gagner or internally.

Team finishes 4 in the division again and doesn’t get past the 1st round.

Jacobs family still makes plenty of bank and the Bs stay stuck in the middle for awhile longer. I watchand appreciate every second of every Bergeron shift.

Sweeney always likes to have at least $1-2 million in cushion to add at the dealine

As an Isles fan, what do think about the Grzelcyk trade? Where do you want the team to go as they seem to be in that same middle next year as the Bs.

So tbh i dont like him personally. But i think thats around the value that hes gonna get. I would love a 2 way LHD and a winger or 2. What would be the price if we packaged reilly and debrusk together

The issue with trading DeBrusk is that the Bruins are going to need to replace the 20-25 plus goals that he can produce and they can’t add any salary. So Reilly and JD is $7mil coming in and you’ll need to send back a top 4 winger who can score 20+ goals and makes < $4 million plus maybe picks, depending on who the player going to the Bs is.

The front office will be cutting their nose off to spite their face if they fire Cassidy. It's not a coaching/systems issue. Cassidy gets the most out of his best players. He just needs more of them.

Minor tweaks is all the front office can do after tying their own hands this offseason with what they did last offseason.

IF Bergeron comes back I too will watch and appreciate every second of every shift that he takes.
