Poitras, Lysell, Lohrei. Although older, Merkulov and Bussi have the potential to be regulars based on their play at the pro level so far. Most of the rest should be bottom-line players if they make it or minor leaguers; hopefully 2-3 can hit.

lineup
Grzelcyk was still with McAvoy at practice today and Lohrei-Wotherspoon was the 3rd pair. They should keep trying different combinations of Lohrei, Peeke, Shattenkirk and Wotherspoon for the rest of the regular season.

Looking forward to see Coyle and Zacha hold up in May and June (like it was planned for Haula 2 years ago). Poitras has played 33 games. Sure, making the team at 19yo is encouraging, but it doesn't guarantee anything. Anyways, it was more about the level of play he could bring than having a spot next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jwirb12</b></div><div>What are the two “glaring” holes?</div></div>
First line center or at least a top line/elite forward. Then, a top4 left-side defenseman. I guess you give the opportunity to Lohrei and see if he can handle the role. If not, acquire a defenseman later/before the deadline. Wotherspoon has been fine, but in a 6/7 role. We're one Lindholm injury away from serious trouble.
I'd argue they could use a solid 2nd liner who can drive his line and who is a step better than Zacha/DeBrusk/Coyle, but 1C/top4 LD are more important and it already won't be easy to find these two. Also, let's see what Lysell/Poitras/Merkulov's got and maybe if we're lucky, they can take that spot.

Sign Elias Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Great conceptually, Who? Look at free agency and tell me the name, because I don’t think this center exists. You could do a short term contract maybe and see how it goes. I fully acknowledge $8m over 7 years is an overpay, but even in the worst case scenario here … we’re in a position to add a very good player and a solid one on top of that,
Maybe it’s Guentzel instead of Lindholm? Maybe sign JDB or Bertuzzi and bring in a better defenseman like Skjei?
Martinez was a 1 year flyer. Haven’t watched much Vegas this year, but just thinking for a short term player who provides stability while Lohrei grows into the fourth role. Trying to allocate money for Frederic in 2025. Any d you would recommend here?</div></div>
There's no 1C available, that's the reality. Scheifele re-signed last year, Pettersson weeks ago, Hertl just got traded. Even a winger like Nylander. Build a solid 2nd line, have two top wingers on the 1st who carries a 2C in the 1C role is one option and even then, it's easier said than done.
Reinhart should be the best forward available. He's 29yo, but he's only had few seasons as a top line player and will be coming of a 50-goal, 90-pts season.
If he isn't re-signed, Guentzel is another one, 30yo. Duchene maybe although he's older and I would be surprised if he takes another discount.
I rather not give a long-term contract that is unlikely to age well and stick with a middle-six C on short-term contracts like they're doing right now. If there's someone I believe will be worth his contract for most of its duration, I'd do it. Lindholm isn't a 1st liner and I would definitely not go 8x8, 7x7 either and even 6x6, I'm worried.
Best hope for the Bruins is one of the top6 F free agents is willing to sign a 1-3 year contract although they will have to overpay. Then, most importantly, the player need to keep his level of play. It is why this whole thing of trying to contend for the Cup post-Bergeron is questionable. What even is the window? Sure feels like they will just end up lacking the top/elite forward talent if Pastrnak is the only forward at that level. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Sign Elias Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Ideally it would be 6 years. He’ll be 29 through December 2nd.
Reality is if you are using free agency to acquire a player, you likely overpay in either term or AAV. I’m using the Scheifele contract as the baseline. Lindholm is 1.5 years younger coming than Scheifele, but is coming off a down year.</div></div>
if you're going to overpay, do it for a high-end player (1st liner/pair D), not a 2C that could soon become a 3C. Martinez has regressed this year and will be 37yo. Same for Maroon. I would avoid the old players. Nedeljkovic hasn't been anything special, rather stick with Bussi/Dipietro or acquire a more consistent backup.

I’d love to get him for free, but I also know that Marchand has only so many playoff appearances in him. I think they’ll pay a price to get him. If they believe they won’t sign DeBrusk, this could be an alternative where they lock in predictable salaries and it costs them Lysell.
I’d love to get him for Lysell, Merkulov, and Forbort … but I think that puts Vancouver’s offer for Guentzel as lacking.</div></div>
You better get Lindholm on a really good deal (which I doubt) if you're involving Lysell.

They can't use a valuable asset to acquire a rental and let him walk, this isn't the year to do it. Either don't add that type of player or re-sign him. Now, it would be tough to get Lindholm on a good contract because he probably wants a big one at this point in his career.

Ullmark and Debrusk get you 1st

Grzelcyk isn't getting a 2nd. He hasn't played like a top4 D or up to his cap hit and has been injured few times. From a seller's standpoint, there's no reason to add him and buyers don't have much cap space and teams have different opinions about his value in the playoffs. Finally, they're aware BOS need cap space so in the best-case scenario, you get a late 4th for him half retained. Would sure like to be wrong though.

No deals made
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I just don’t see the difference between Hanifin and Skjei or Forsling as worth Lohrei and a first. In reality, Skjei is a better fit regardless of the story of Hanifin coming home. I could see Forsling, Stamkos, Sjkei, Lindholm, or Hanifin being available at July 1st. Some of those are likely to be available
I’d be open to DeBrusk, Lohrei, and Merkulov for Hanifin. Throw in Forbort at 50 percent retention to remove any financial obligation. It would require Calgary believing they could resign DeBrusk, which I think is a reasonable bet.</div></div>
Skjei has been inconsistent, will be a 30yo and is a great candidate to get a regrettable contract (for the team). Hanifin is a 3 years younger and has played well in a top pair role which Skjei has never done. Lindholm *should* remain a top4 guy, but a possible regression is something to keep in mind which is why having an actual top pair left D is safer. Or opt for a decent bottom-4 D on a short-term contract and it's easier to replace him if he regresses.

They'll probably at least add some depth. Curious to see how they do it with minimal cap space which is one the reasons Forbort shouldn't be on the roster at 3pm Friday whether it is via waivers or trade.
Agreed for Lysell. Lohrei has had extended looks twice and it didn't go well. He's been better this time but is still making way too many mistakes defensively. I would suggest a 3rd-pair sheltered role and see. Otherwise, back to Providence.
