<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpetes250</b></div><div>I think 3RD is a need for this team, they obviously don't like/trust Shatty with him in and out of the lineup.

I would also keep Frederic in the top 6 until he plays himself out of it.

Hopefully the 4th line can figure out what they are, a hard checking line or an energy line. I would like to see some grit there.</div></div>

I think it's more about giving Forbort reps coming back from injury then it is about Shatty not playing good. The emergence of Wotherspoon also plays a factor to that.

I'm fine with giving Frederic top6 minutes until the deadline, but I think they need another player with speed and skill in the top6. Frederic on the 3rd line here makes it a big line that will grind defenders below the goal line.

Ya Beecher needs to be the 4C. Great at the dot, big and has speed. He does still need to learn positioning away from the puck defensively, but that's why you put heinen on that line. NAK is also good defensively, plays hard and has good foot speed. Will give that line energy.

BOS should not be selling off this much of their futures.

They went all in last year, they aren't in a position to do the same this year.

Thread: Attempt At Next Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Curious what Kings fans think of Pinielli’s adjustment to the AHL. I thought he’d transition a little better, but I haven’t watched him every day. I do know that that first AHL season and the adjustment downgrades a lot of prospects

If Blake is their GM, I doubt they trade a first for a goalie. That said, if they continue to struggle … maybe some opinions will change</div></div>

How cool would it be if BOS dcore looks like this next year though. Would be the biggest dcore personnel in the league.

Unfortunately I don't think Hanifin is reaching FA unless he wants to join BOS specifically.

This is unrealistic, too many moving parts.

Thread: Lysell and Poitras

Don't think Lysell can handle top6 minutes just yet. If there are injuries, I wouldn't mind giving him a look in the bottom6.

I expect BOS to be shopping for a vet middle6 winger at the deadline to fill out the depth.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 6 at 4:50 p.m.

Thread: I like Bert on this team

Don't see BOS being interested in a Bert reunion, unless Neely forces his hand because he's "tough". Ideally they should be keeping spots open for Merk and Lysell.

If Bert does return, he should not be on the same line as Pasta. Those two together get killed defensively 5v5.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 3 at 3:29 p.m.

Thread: Trade Deadline

BOS main priority will be a 2nd line winger, Poitras can't handle top6 C duties, let alone 1C minutes.

Getting a solid top4 dman would be nice, but there isn't really a market out there unless BOS overpays, which I just don't see Sweeney doing.

They've already depleted their draft capital going all-in last year, Sweeney will be bargain shopping this time around.

Thread: Two Trades

I personally don't agree with Boston's big TDL move being for a top4 dman. Their priority should be a top6 C, if they can't get that, then a top6 fwd.

The current dman core (-grz) is pretty good, which helps having 2 elite goalies.

If they can explore a trade involving Grz that would bring back depth, that would be nice too.

Thread: No 1C lock up the dcore

BOS not pursuing top C options during the off-season would be extremely disappointing, especially with all the cap space they have.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 5 at 8:36 p.m.

Thread: Next Game Lines

Lohrei is definitely outperforming Grz. Heck, even Wotherspoon is. Idk what's going on with Grz, he's been good in past seasons. Unless he's playing sheltered 3rd pairing minutes, he's hurting the team being out there.

Agree with not touching the top6, they've been relatively good.

Thread: Ullmark-Marino Trade

RD help is the last thing BOS needs.

BOS does need high picks however. I would imagine anything that involves Ullmark will have at least a 1st rounder coming back.

Also, I doubt BOS won't explore the top C options during the offseason. I expect BOS to be heavily involved in talks with Lindholm or Reinhart.

Swayman gets more too, especially on an 8 year deal.

Thread: Try something

I mean, Maroon is definitely not the solution here. If you want to add toughness to the 4th line for cheap, I would look at Wade Allison.

This ship has sailed. BOS had the opportunity to claim him off waivers and didn't. Vrana is cooked.

Thread: Start the rebuild

BOS will be very unlikely to trade a 1st round pick any time soon with how little high end draft capital they have.

Thread: If Zacha is out

Geekie is a more reliable C than Merkulov. If Merk gets the call-up, it will be on the wing where he'll have less responsibilities.

Thread: Line adjustments

As much as Lucic's game has fallen off over the years, his play style now is definitely something they are missing on that 4th line. Lauko just hasn't been good enough.

Thread: Hanifin Deal

BOS has no real need for Hanifin in my opinion. There are other more glaring needs.

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 1, 2023 at 10:37 p.m.

Thread: Duclair Deal

Definitely an overpay. BOS will be looking to add to their depth, so I don't see them moving anyone on the roster in a lateral trade. Merkulov should not be the prospect on the move here.

3rd + C prospect should do, not expecting much of a market for Duclair.

Thread: need to fill the holes

Replacing Forbort is more of a luxury than a need. Not really something I would prioritize or think happens.

Gryz just played his 2nd game back from injury. He'll be fine, just needs to re-adjust to NHL pace after being out for a month.

Agree another top6 forward is needed, but trades won't happen until closer to the deadline.

Would like to see Lysell or Merkulov get a look in the meantime. Line changes to the top6 forward group is definitely needed.

Thread: BOS v VGK SCF

I'll let it slide since you're not a BOS fan, but trading Gryz so that Lohrei can play with McAvoy is not going to happen. Lohrei is not ready for full time NHL minutes yet.
