Thread: Boston Needs Centres

As good as the moniker "BruinsLindholms" would be I think they have to approach it a different way. With their scarcity of assets they should not make this trade and just ride this year out.

Make it a two year plan and be ready to roll after that. Pick top ten or pay Detroit off with a 1st, see if free agency is fruitful in 24 and 25 and if Lysell, Lohrei, Beecher and Poitras are ready to contribute in 24/25 and 25/26.

Calgary is at a crossroads either at the trade deadline or after the season. It will be fascinating.

Thread: Still want

That would be a terrible trade for Colorado. They are not giving up the best player in the trade who is a top pairing defenseman AND a first AND a cost controlled previous first round pick they still have high hopes just to acquire Martin Necas.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheFastAndTheFleuryous</b></div><div>Hall trade’s worth it now!</div></div>

Hall trade was worth it the second "the ink dried". Allowed the Bruins to fill out their roster and have 6M to sign Swayman and Frederic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>This is the kid for me that can be a top 6 center for Boston in a few years.</div></div>

Agreed. Just have to be patient. Lysell may well turn out to be a good player but at pick 21 in 2021 they should have gone with Wyatt Johnston. Missed opportunity, especially with what the Bruins are looking at this year and moving forward, at 1C and 2C.

A lot of food for thought here so well done.

For the love of God I hope they do not go anywhere near Bertuzzi.

I will take your word for it and ditch Nieto but would want someone younger than Cogliano to help change the bottom six. In hindsight maybe Danton Heinen or Joel Kiviranta might be better if the money works. Thanks for the input.

Cast aside the longing in your loins, that ship has sailed. Want a 32 year old second line center? Try Ryan O'Reilly. CMac is keeping that first.

Four hours ago you were saying about Ullmark, "He's been the best goalie in the national hockey league this season and there is no one in the rear view". Which one is it? We both know the answer.

Thread: Ullmark trade

After trading a first as part of the deal for him Korpisalo will likely be the immediate future in net for the Kings assuming he holds up his end of the bargain and they can sign him to Georgiev type deal.

No doubt they will be taking a significant step back next year. Right now Ullmark is excellent. Swayman has a ways to go before his play reaches that level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsradynasty</b></div><div>What contender has 11.25 cap space?</div></div>

You seem to be insinuating that Boston could have signed him for less. Pastrnak is a unique talent who is beloved by teammates and fans alike in Boston. It's a no brainer to sign him and it was going to take a fair deal to do it. To answer your question, Carolina for one. Multiple teams created cap space at the deadline. You don't think teams could create cap space with a full off season to work with?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>No idea what he's done to be worth this type of money except play minutes. He's fine, but I have no indications that he's even above average, which this deal heavily implies. Rask is one of the best handful of goalies in the league. The difference is going to be brutal. I think Boston will launch a rebuild within two years at this point, and this signing might well be the tipping point.</div></div>

Well, you were right in a sense. It was a tipping point lol.

You are either missing or ignoring his point. Pastrnak took his discount already when he signed his second contract. Look at Marner/Nylander and their second contracts. Pastrnak was not going to discount a second time nor should he have.

I just think that Toews is so good and such a great complement to Makar that Colorado should resign him. The mega deal for Byram can wait. Bridge him like Boston did McAvoy. If Byram proves his durability and with Manson's deal expiring the Av's can give him his mega deal because he certainly has the raw talent.

If it rises 3M they can afford to resign Toews in my books. He should be the priority. Just keep Newhook and pay him roughly what Stephenson makes in 23-24, be patient with him and keep one of your top cost controlled prospects along with your 2023 first in a loaded draft.

With all of their skilled expensive players Colorado needs to keep their cost controlled assets to hold this team together, not add another one who they won't be able to afford to sign one year after acquiring.

How about they win ONE Cup first before planning a Cup defense. One championship in and by itself is going to be incredibly hard to do even with the team Sweeney has assembled.

Feeble indeed. Carolina is right there with Boston. They have no need to overreact. They have plenty of runway ahead of them. They should make a shrewd move or barring that just make no move at all if the above is the result they are going to get.

Thread: Bruins Cup Push

This has been entertaining and a good read. Bruins are 40-8-5. No need to trade 2 valued players, their best prospect and a 2023 1st in a loaded draft for two players who don't make the team appreciably better or arguably even any better at all.
