Created by: Dekes

Team: 2024-25 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 29, 2024

Published: Apr. 29, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Let Merkulov and lysell continue to play together, they have good chemistry and have done good work in the AHL, I do think with a hard working Center like Geekie who battles infront and is pretty solid everywhere could be a good line next season.

Poitras plays best with bigger wingers it seems(almost like young krejci did), he’s a very patient player who likes to wait for his wingers to drive the net and sends great passes it for them to redirect in. Freddy has a good wrist shot from distance and brazeau is great around the net. Ideally this line should generate some good offence too.

The loss of Carlo would hurt but I do like the build of this new defence. Samuelsson/ Manson/ peeke add a lot of size and physicality to our team that should translate well to playoffs. Offensively this defence should offer more than this past season aswell, Manson is a pretty shot heavy dman that should help generate a lot of rebounds for our forwards and lohrei will offer more for us then grzelcyk did I could see him putting up 30 points, every game he plays he seems to get more comfortable with the pace of the NHL.

Oh give me a break, Carlo has played 3 seasons without significant injury, maybe some minor bumps and bruises that took him out a few games but he’s played over 75 games the last 3 seasons.

He’s only ever had 2 concussions while playing for Boston.

Bergeron had more concussions then Carlo and had one that took him out for a full season very early in his career and still became an NHL hall off famer and arguably the best defensive forward of all time.

The whole knock and Carlo being injury prone is BS,
He has only had 1 season where he hasn’t played 72+ games because of injury, the other season where he played 67 was because of the Covid season and bruins only played 70 games

Okay maybe I was off a bit but Byrams’s concussions have took him out for significantly more time and Adams had no problem shipping off there best point producer who wanted to resign for him.

Byram also has superstar top pair potential who's injuries were just physical, Carlo is solidly locked in as a 2nd pair shutdown D who's one hit to the head away from being out of the league. It's just not worth the risk JJP is too good of an asset to risk on something like that.

A concussion is a concussion and byram has 3 of them and is 5 years young then Carlo where do you think his future is headed.

Sabres couldn’t score this year so they aren’t going to trade a young future 30+ goal scorer.

This season they struggled not last season.

With ruff as the coach I fully expect Thompson/ Tuch/ Cozens to return to their previous form maybe even skinner. You also have Quinn who in a full season could score 30.

If Kulich/ Rosen come up that’s another shooter

One thing Buffalo does lack though is a RH shutdown dman. Samuelsson is your only other defensive minded dman on the team.

I know they need a shutdown RHD, but they can’t justify trading Peterka especially after trading Mittelstadt.

Big difference between 3 and 6 concussions

Avs decline. No cap space for Ullmark and if they're moving Manson it isn't to add cap.

Every good game he has in the playoffs Georgiev has is another step away from interest in a goalie. That’s an easy decline by COL.

One good game doesn’t change the fact that georgiev has allowed 4+ goals in over 40% of his starts this season.

No interest in trading Carlo. His salary and solid D play is a difficult trade.

I agree but I’d be open to looking for someone like Demelo/ Roy/ Pesce that could offer a better 2 way game.

Peeke is a good PKer and shut down dman and would help fill the hole Carlo leaves.

If we can make a trade and get someone who can make a difference to our offence maybe like a Peterka or Mittelstadt I’d be okay with his departure.

Boston has a really rough time in the neutral zone and a big part of that is because mcavoy is our only strong dmen in transition, lindholm does good with mcavoy in transition but is not good with Carlo so that’s a key weakness I’d like to fix

Except it isn’t one game it’s 3 in a row in the playoffs and he led the league in wins. Are you really trying to tell me the playoffs don’t matter? If they win the cup hell even if they get to the WCF there isn’t a chance they move him.

2 of those wins he played like absolute **** Colorado just limited Winnipeg to low shots.

His SV% and GAA are so so so bad. And those are 2 stats that usually look good when your team is winning but not even Colorado can help georgiev.

He may have lead the league in wins but that’s purely based on him having a high number of games played and because he plays for a stacked team.

He had a -11.6 GSAX he was not a good goalie this year.

You are an absolute homer and delusional if you think georgiev is a good goalie.

I like how it’s now they are limiting shots. Yeah he’s struggled but at least I’m not full of **** trying to sell that the guy who had the most wins is a cap dump.

your posts seem to have a theme - trying to trade the bruins core, mostly for the worst. i'd just go ahead and stop. if you look at the contracts the bruins have given out, it pretty obviously identifies their core, and the guys they aren't moving. Pastrnak, McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo, and Zacha are the only guys that have more than two years left on their deal. soon you can add swayman to that list. that's their core. zacha might be the exception. those guys aren't moving.

I think you are exaggerating greatly that’s for sure, I’ve made 2 posts about moving Carlo and it was to greatly benefit our struggling forward core.
I don’t want to move Carlo but if it was to acquire us someone who can benefit our scoring and giving pasta some more help then that’s great.

Our Dcore is in good hands even without Carlo, our forward core outside of pasta is drying up in terms of players who can generate their own chances and carry the play themselves.

So would I take the chance if moving Carlo for a solid young forward and then going out and grabbing someone like Demelo/Pesce/ Roy who is more then a solid replacement, yes I would.
