you can get so much more for Marchand. Get a 1st + Knies + Sandin for Marchand and a pick

Don't think March or Hall are getting moved anytime soon. If Sweeney does go the quick retool route then ya all the guys on expiring deals are going to be moved, not so sure on the guys with term though. And ima be honest, Sweeney's drafting the past 3 drafts have been pretty competent, especially his 2021 draft. We'll see how he does this year though.

From an outside perspective, Bruins core wasn't the problem. Choosing to rebuild some time soon would definitely be wicked smaht. But, if they wanted to, I think the Bruins could use this post season as a guide for a quick retool and another run next year, as long as they aren't committing too much to Bergeron or any other aging players. Plus, BOS has some pretty promising prospects that should be able to slot in nicely next season on ELC's and cap space to reach into free agency a bit if needed. Either way, BOS probably has the pieces to pull of a fairly quick turnaround on a rebuild or retool.

Also, I don't think that will get you Dach. Realistically, the value is probably there or close. But we aren't ready to move on from our 2019 3rd overall pick yet.

Agreed with the title but the rest went sideways especially the first two sentences.

I fully expect the Bruins to re-sign Bergeron and trade more futures to try and win next season, so I don't expect our offseason to look anything like this, but if you look at how many assets the Bruins can acquire, I think this is the route the front office should take. But even though Sweeneys draft in 2021 looked much better it doesn't change the fact that McAvoy, Carlo and Swayman have been his only picks that have made an impact.

I would do the hall trade even if we do sign forsberg. Is hall only worth a 1st now

Boston has less than $3 million in cap space, and thats without Bergeron signed, they have to unload a lot of contracts to be able to sign Bergeron, and add more to the group.

What about this team looks like a Stanley Cup contender? We only have one scoring line and only have $2.5 million in cap space, our best center is Charlie Coyle. If we want to bring Bergeron back we have to clear up cap space which means trading away all of our overpaid depth guys. Tell me what makes you believe the Bruins can win a Stanley Cup next season.

Clearing some cap space isn't that hard. All depends on if Bergeron returns. If he does and the plan is to give another shot, they would first need to add a 2C. Marchand, McAvoy and Grzelcyk missing time at the start of the season will be challenging. It's not impossible but not that easy either. Or we could also start the rebuild.

My issue was more about the "lying since 2019 and core hasn't been good enough" which is false because they had a decent chance the past three years mostly because of the core. Blame the GM/President/Owners but not the best players of the team.

I am blaming the front office, not the players, I guess I should have clarified I think getting Hall las year was a good move, but it was mainly this years moves. Giving up the first and signing Lindholm for 8 years was the front office lying to themselves.

Hopefully the new coach will actually play the young guys knocking on the door for a change and not force them out the lineup for any little mistake, then to end up eventually being traded to recoup any kind of value they had to avoid being stuck with the next zach senyshyn. We'll see though. Sweeney's next coach will be his jobs make or break.

Oh wow. I could've sworn there was a lot more cap space last time i looked at bostons cap breakdown. That is a lot trickier than i thought.
