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
