Team: 2023-24 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: May 22, 2023

Published: May 22, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

If this happens we're only a little worse than we were last year in terms of the roster, not to mention adding a few high draft picks for DeBrusk and Ullmark. However it's wishful thinking that Bergeron and Krejci will come back at all, let alone on such team-friendly deals

Sorry Detroit isn't going to pay a first for Ullmark.

This team is already over the cap without even considering the extreme team friendly deals you gave for both the RFA’s and UFA’s. Not sure any of this is realistic

I love how a team who's in a cap crisis, Honestly thinks that they're getting a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick for Linus Ullmark. I don't think so. No GM is helping Sweeney out of his mess.

I paid higher for them in one I made a few weeks ago and some guy said it was a "massive overpay". Also that's why this is the "best case scenario"- I don't expect it to actually happen

Yeah I get you. I mean the guy that said massive overpay is kidding himself. If Bergy and Kre re-sign and you get both for just $2M it will be a miracle lol and that’s not counting the other contracts that are missing $500K on a few of them. Bertuzzi will be looking for $6.5M at minimum I think.

Yeah that's the reason we're not getting 2 firsts because normally Ullmark would have higher value seeing as he's about to win the Vezina and is on an extremely affordable contract. The Bruins traded about that for half a year of Orlov- I would think 2 years of Ullmark should net a good return
