Salary Cap Mode: Basic

First and foremost, congrats to Bruce Cassidy. The man is goated. He deserves all of the success that he is getting.

Not sure of the values, just some ideas for the Bruins this offseason.

Bruins shed some cap, add a big RD on a low AAV and a young RD prospect. Not sure how those in Dallas or the fans value both but let me know. I think Coyle would be a great fit for the Stars and I think that would be a team he would waive for considering that they have been a contender for some time now.

Stars solidify themselves up the middle of the ice, with centers such as Hintz, Seguin, Johnston, Benn, Faksa, maybe Domi and Dellandrea. With Coyle into the mix, they add a great third line center with term who can play in all situations.

Send DeBrusk to the Avalanche. Personally, I would rather pay Bertuzzi than DeBrusk. JD is going to be due a raise after this season and I personally would choose spending that money on Bertuzzi. B's open up cap space, add a late first and a future fourth.

Avalanche add a top six winger, who can play up and down the lineup. DeBrusk raised his game last season, playing on the PK and scoring 50 points. Avs add him on a low AAV and still have money to spend with Landeskog on LTIR.

Bruins open up cap space by shipping Forbort to Seattle. Their PK was not great last year and Forbort excels in that role. Seattle tries him out for a late fifth rounder.

Bruins shed even more cap by sending Ullmark and Grzelcyk to Pittsburgh. I have seen some Pens fans posting that some like both players and some don't. Bruins add future picks that are much needed. Not sure the B's trade Grzelcyk considering how well the management spoke about him at the end of the year press conference.

Pens add a top goaltender from the previous year on a decent contract with some term. Grzelcyk is a great transition LD and puck mover. Pens move their future picks for another chance with their core. They move on from Jarry who has been riddled with injuries.

Not many will like the Reilly trade. Maybe the Canes can give him a shot and see what he's got. The Bruins had tons of depth last year and Reilly was the odd man out. I believe he can still play in the NHL and I would like the B's to give him another chance but it seems as though his time is up whether they buy him out or find a trade partner. For a 7th rounder next year, why not give him a chance lol.

Bergy and Krejci come back for the 100th year. After the season they had, they gotta run it back.

Swayman and Bussi/Keyser for the goalies. Maybe have Bussi and Keyser in rotation as the backup. If not, maybe consider a veteran goaltender to help mentor Swayman for a few more years.

Just my thoughts, not sure of everyone's value here. I know that there are NMC and NTC with some folks on the B's. I would like to think that Coyle would waive as well as Forbort, and Ullmark.
