Rather trade Ullmark bring up Bussi.
Not sign Henrique
That gives us 10.5 mill
I’d push for either Novak/ Reinhart/ Duchene with that cash


Also where is debrusk

Trading Ullmark would be smart considering Bussi is out of options next year! And a better C than Henrique would be smart, but having depth over another ringer isn’t a bad idea and keeping Ullmark diminishes the risk of an injury like the one Ullmark just had!

Bruins biggest issue right now is scoring and you haven't addressed that.

Pastrnak alone factors in 43% of Bruins scoring. I don't think Henrique, Toffoli and OEL are enough. You also let JDB walk for nothing and like it or not, he's an important part of the offense when he's on.

If the rumors are true that VAN might not sign Petterson, I think you have to trade Ullmark and maybe DeBrusk to use those assets to get his rights. That solves the 1C and the scoring issue. if not, as said above, there are better options on the trade block and free agency.

I also think that the recently play of Coyle makes that contract tradeable and should be looked at in the offseason. You now have Geekie, Poitras and Frederic to take that spot.

Personally I’d be very aggressive in acquiring a top6 center but I wanted to make this to see what it would look like if Lindholm doesn’t hit FA and we get priced out of the trade market
