Thread: 2024-2025 Roster Possibilities

Boston isn't strained for cap and Jersey isn't the only team looking for a goalie. They have 25 mil in cap space (with <5 of that going to Swayman). Ullmark for a 2nd doesn't move the needle enough to not just keep him through the end of the deal. If a team wants a year of Ullmark plus negotiating priority through July 2025, it's more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALjet12</b></div><div>I fixed it, look at the new trade.</div></div>

i think you actually made it worse. McAvoy is worth 10x what a year of Marner is. The only thing in Toronto that could get McAvoy just scored 69 goals, and the leafs aren't trading him.

well, he's not the best player in the NHL...I also think you really misunderstood this point.
The only thing in Toronto that could get McAvoy is Matthews - that's just true. no point in discussing it. McAvoy is the bruins best player and he's on an awesome long term contract. he's not moving
Likewise, Toronto wouldn't move Matthews for McAvoy.

Both of those statements can be, and are in fact, true.

Sharks would be dumb to pass. Giving up a pick in the 14-16 range for one in the top 7 range……Ferraro isn't that valuable. Sharks jump on that trade before CBJ snap out of it and take withdraw that offer

Those are the two I’d target in a trade for Ullmark. I’d also think there would be a preference on a 2024 pick vs a 2025 pick.

If the offer is as suggested, Boston keeps Ullmark

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>I’d swap Boqvist for Lazar. I want him back the same way you want JB. 🤷🏻‍♂️</div></div>

I'd personally do it but I can almost guarantee the NJD front office wouldn't. Unfortunately, based on him going unqualified and then unsigned, he either asked for an opportunity elsewhere, or someone/some people in the NJD front office/coaching staff isn't high on him at all

But every shift of Tierney/Bastian/Nosek/Willman/Macdermid makes me question what we were thinking by not bringing him back.

NJD 4th line has been horrific outside of when they were being carried by McLeod

He’ll be at the likely minimum next year. I think someone would claim him, but OK with that if it means Heinen is still on the team and someone like Lysell is getting a shot higher in the lineup

Thread: ullmark and more

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Johansson is interesting. He’s older for a prospect, but he is a good AHL D man with talent.

My guess is if they are offering only a 2025 second, I’d want Wallinder or Mazur at a minimum</div></div>

But he seems to be projected as bottom pairing, if he makes it at all. He also lacks size, which the Bruins FO seem to be convinced is the most important factor in giving out contracts on the backend.

The market will ultimately decide what the return is, but as far as filling Bruins needs goes, this is basically just a 2nd rounder to downgrade from Ullmark to Vejmelka and an increase in ~2.25m in cap space. It also makes a division rival better. I think they can find a better value contract to backup Swayman that gives them more cap space to improve the team now and still get a 2nd elsewhere. If Detroit was willing to retain Vejmelka down to about 1.5m (giving the B's an additional ~1.25m to work with), I'd listen.

Thread: Nothing crazy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>But do for 2 to 2.5 less and 2 less years?

The most recent comparison for contract is Horvat who got 8.5 extension after trade. Very similar value player. Bo better goal scorer, Elias better defender.</div></div>

You can also put in Scheifele as a comparison at 7 years, 8.5m AAV. To me, that’s reflected with the 1.5M AAV discount to accommodate for Lindholm’s poor play this year. I personally believe Elias is signing for no less than 6.75 and probably no higher than 7.5M

From my perspective, I want one premium player whether it be Lindholm, Hanifin, or Guentzel while resigning Heinen and picking up an older defenseman like OEL.

I guess you could do DeBrusk or Stephenson and Skjei, but I think those guys might get inflated in the second tier of free agency. Not sure it will be a straight swap in salary. I’d rather have DeBrusk than Stephenson at this point in their careers

Thread: The future

Carlo isn't "stuck behind" McAvoy. He's a 2nd pairing D and he has such tremendous value to Boston because he's perfectly suited for that role and is being paid at a team friendly rate. They also see him as part of the leadership group, hence him wearing the A on multiple occasions including Winter Classics in the past.

As covered by others here, Boston isn't in a cap pinch. They'll have plenty to go after a Lindholm if they choose to

Geekie is incredible value and it helps that he is restricted at the end of his current deal - should be under team control for the next 3 years.

Ullmark won't waive for OTT - I imagine the teams who could be in on him that are viable destinations are LA Kings, New Jersey, Detroit, Carolina, Philly, and Chicago.

Thread: Boston Down The Middle Next Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KINGS67</b></div><div>I highly doubt PLD is getting traded

I think it was some dumb rumor to be honest.</div></div>

It’s a pretty simple equation for the Kings

Keep PLD = Lose Matt Roy (massive loss)

or

Keep PLD = Quentin Byfield to a bridge contract (lost opportunity to lock him up to a reasonable contract)

I don’t see why the Bruins would take his contract outright personally. Never did, but no other trade with the Kings really made sense to be that far along. I don’t doubt they had conversations. Too many credible
Journalists involved

As I look at our cap position for next year, I think you could make the argument that keeping him through next year is the best option unless you are getting a number 1 or equivalent value for him.
