<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I don’t think it’s money wise but Russo said Minny may trade him due to fit issue</div></div>

Hadn't heard that. What's the fit issue? Personality? Because Boston sucks at managing personality problems (see Seguin and Hamilton).

Thread: This team would be so stacked

MIN may be cap strapped but I doubt they're that cap strapped. Would love Rossi, but Parise and Suter's dead cap hits drop from 7.5m to less than 1m after next season, just in time to resign Faber and Rossi to bridge deals or invest long term.

Thread: A complete balanced team

I wouldn't touch that Norris contract with a 10 foot pole given his injury history and the fact that he's never really played to that level. One 55 point season (35 goals, I get it) does not get you and 8x8 normally. Ullmark can be used elsewhere for a C or for picks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>TOR has Woll 0 need to pay that for 1 year of Ullmark

Pass</div></div>

The last 2 games the Bs and Leafs played just proved that Woll is not enough to beat Boston in the 1st round, let alone the cup. Next season is the last chance for the Leafs to win with Tavares and Marner still under contract. One of them is gone after that, if not both. It would make sense for the Leafs to go all in, but I'm not sure if its with Ullmark, even though he'll be the best cheapest goalie available.

Thread: Bruins

Did... did you just give Matt Grzelcyk 5.5 million dollars? In this economy? No. I like Gryz and defend him more than most but for 5.5 million, we could have far better. Heinen gets closer to 1.5mil, no way that gets Drai unless he threatens to walk at the TDL and EDM is out of it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Draisatl is never making it to free agency.

Is there a forward you have in mind? This is our opportunity to get a core star player. Lindholm is a risk, but my feel is Sweeney believes in what he’s going to be in between Pasta and Zacha.</div></div>

I'm sure he'd be fine, I just don't think he'd be worth the 8 million. If it's shorter term, I'd be up for it, though I wish they'd get a guy who can really make Pasta better instead of trying to replace Bergeron. There's just more offensive Cs available next summer (Drai, Sherangovich, Tavares, Bennet, Bjugstad, Nelson).

This summer, I like adding Reinhart, that'd sure up the R side and we'd be more likely to package Lysell and move him. Hanafin, Skjei, and OEL are all worth signing for the top 4 on D. I also think Duchene, Sprong, Marchessault, and Terevainen all could be good adds to the top 6 whether we resign DeBrusk or not.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Disagree. One acquisition needs to be a high dollar player ideally a center.</div></div>

Lindholm isn't worth 7-8 million. Id rather sign a winger or LD for that money and save for Draisatil

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>To be blunt, I think we acquired our version of Bahl with the Peeke acquisition. I’d rather sign Alec Martinez to a one year deal than trade assets for a player NJD should value more for his immediacy of impact</div></div>

I think this plan only works if we keep Ullmark though. If we keep the 2 stud goalie system for 1 more year, we should bring in vets and pay premiums for short deals, but if we're pivoting away from that, we should be focusing on long term adds that will let us compete for the next 4-5 years of Pasta's and McAvoy's primes

I think NJ is going after Markstrom.</div></div>

And I think Lohrei projects better as a pure offensive defenseman and can pull easier matchups on the 3rd pairing. And Bahl and Carlo would be one of the hardest defense first pairings in the league.

I don't get that, Markstrom is older, more expensive, controls his own fate, but has 1 more year of his contract. How does he get more interest than Ullmark?

Elliotte Friedman reported multiple teams have kicked tires on Tuch but the Sabres have shut them down. There is a rumor, just means nothing.

Thread: 2024 TDL

I don't see why BUF would trade Tuch (I saw the rumor too) but it would be great for Boston. Basically upgrade DeBrusk with a contract already in place that's a steal. Doubt this gets it though. Maybe Carlo as a centerpiece?

For that, you got a flim-flamming deal with Boston assuming they can move some cap and there's retention

Boston gets Lindholm out of this I take it? For what he'd bring, the trade is a bit of an overpay but if DeBrusk signs for 6×5m, the Bruins will pay him

Agreed, VAN backed themselves into a corner wanting to move Lindholm so they have to take a hit. Also, I don't get that, Ullmark is better, cheaper, and younger.

If Rutherford wants to move Lindholm to get Guentzel, it's going to be at a discount from what he paid for him. 2nd, depth piece, prospect.

You comment like Trump talks and it makes me cringe. But yes, faith in JR is at an all time low, especially considering you're no longer getting a 1st to move Lindholm
