Team: 2022-23 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 17, 2022

Published: Jul. 17, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Bergeron & Krejci: $1.5MM base + $3.5MM bonus
Kessel: $1.5MM base + $1.5MM bonus

Acquiring Klefbom allows the Bruins to stay in LTIR all season rather than have to adjust once Marchand, McAvoy, and Grz get healthy. With these numbers, they’d only be using $1.3MM of a $4.2MM allotment, so still room to add up to $3MM at the deadline. I like Steen but he’s no longer waiver exempt and I don’t see a starting role for him on this team, so may as well trade him than eventually lose him on waivers. There are plenty of depth options in Providence.

Signing Kessel for cheap gives you an all-offense option that the Bs rarely have and that Montgomery can utilize. Guarantee him a starting role until he breaks the iron man record and then plug him in as needed from there. Kessel gives them a PP2 that nearly rivals the PP1.

Zacha-Coyle-Smith
Frederic-Studnicka-Foligno

Im very confused on the klefbom trade. You want to be in LTIR? You never are getting anything from him other than retirement after this year you would be just As good to risk him to waivers at least you have a chance he clears

You account for it next year if you can’t cover it this year

Being in the LTIR allows you to exceed the cap by the amount of that contract. The Bruins have to be in the LTIR to begin the year anyway but rather than trying to put together a roster that fits under 82.5 once everyone is healthy, you’re instead working with 86.7 because Klefbom is permanently injured.

Yeah but his 4.167m counts on the 86.7m so you are basically trading for nothing.
