Thread: Year End Lineup

A step further: call up whoever is ready, keep the picks and acquire more picks by trading the few pending UFAs thus clearing some spots for younger players.

Thread: need to fill the holes

Zacha isn't a 1C and Poitras isn't a 2C or at least it's too soon to say it. If they don't get a 1C, the rest won't matter.

Thread: Small Move

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Agree on level of play, but IMO Bjugstad would fit better on the fourth line role and is a + PKer.

A Forbort-Brown bottom pairing would lack offensive punch, but would be very physical and tough to play against. I think he is an upgrade from Shatty/Mitchell. If Brown is not the answer, I think Bruins need to upgrade the right side of the 3rd pair - other guys who could be of interest Lybushkin, Tanev (retained), Hamonic, or Bortuzzo.</div></div>

Brown isn't a good NHL player and he isn't "tough to play against" as his team consistently give up more chances when he's on the ice. He isn't better than either Shattenkirk or Mitchell, he's physical because he almost never has the puck and is forced to defend. If anything, they should look for a cheaper LD option for the 3rd pair; they're fine for now on the right.

Thread: Small Move

Pass, Geekie is pretty much at the same level than Bjugstad. Forbort-Brown is a recipe for a disaster already that they've been lucky Forbort has been better than usual.

Thread: The only Oilers trade Boston should consider

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinadian67</b></div><div>Right. But you said they get worse now. So does that mean they get worse from adding Holloway? The line up is essentially the same except for the subtraction of Heinen and Kulak sitting on the sidelines until there’s an injury. How about swapping Grzelcyk and Forbort? Could Kulak be that much worse or is he just a product of his surroundings and the Oilers system or lack thereof?</div></div>

Grzelcyk is injured but will return soon (tomorrow probably) so I consider him as part of the team now. He is better than Kulak. I don't see Oilers doing it for Forbort, they need a right-side D.

There's no point in adding a rental that will leave in July. If anything, they should look at a Grzelcyk trade instead of losing him for nothing although nobody can replace him in the top4 so they may have to keep him. Biggest priority is adding up front.

Thread: Taylor Halls LTIR to the rescue

Chicago has enough cap space anyway and they will most likely not place Hall on LTIR since it would limit how much cap they can accrue.

Thread: Question for fellow bruins fans

They need more help up front and it sounds like Flames were close to a $60M extension with Hanifin which is $7.5Mx8 or higher AAV with less years. That's way too much for Hanifin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dugg133</b></div><div>I just have this feeling defense is gonna be the place that Sweeney ends up adding again, I don't think Monty is comfortable relying on Gryz and Sweeney knows that.</div></div>

They'll have Lindholm (all-around), Lohrei (offense/PP) and another defensive/PK guy next year.

Thread: The only Oilers trade Boston should consider

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinadian67</b></div><div>How so? Defence hasn’t changed to what they’re rolling now. Sure maybe Kulak isn’t great on the Oilers but he could be a good depth piece on the Bruins. And Holloway with Beecher and Geekie could be a great fourth line! I like Grzelcyk but he could come back a bust! All this and a 23 man roster with Heinen and Steen as depth pieces seems like a better team to me.</div></div>

What they're rolling now is because Grzelcyk is out otherwise he's in and they need him since Lohrei isn't ready and Forbort is inconsistent. If they want to build a legit contender, $2.75M is too much for Kulak anyways.

Swap Heinen and DeBrusk. I guess we keep 6-73 even if it doesn't work.

Thread: Roster Management

Lohrei is waivers exempt, but he's also struggled defensively and that's the main reason why he should be sent down. Steen will play his 10th game today and will require waivers to be sent down. He's played well and earned his spot so far. Brown should go down when Geekie returns.

Thread: Lindholm to the Bruins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>“Sure he’s been good at playing 1C the last few years, but he’s not a 1C”. Okay… lol

Just a heads up, it ain’t a bunch of elementary school kids voting on who receives the Selke Trophy there Bud, it’s a Professional Association dedicated to watching and reporting on NHL Hockey on a daily basis

If all they cared about was +/-, then Bergeron wouldn’t have won it in 2020-21 lol. Bergeron was +26 and Runner-Up Elias Lindholm was +61 fml 🤦‍♂️

That said, those same Voters are clearly biased towards Eastern Conference Teams & Players</div></div>

Yes, the same writers who are busy half the time writing a piece and not watching a game. When they do watch a team, it's often just the team they cover and everyone have their biases. Beyond that, just because someone watches a game doesn't mean they're good evaluators and know everything.

Nobody wakes up and says "hey, let's discredit the players playing in the West just for fun".

Thread: Lindholm to the Bruins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>That’s just a stupid comment and you look dumb for agreeing with it Gofnut999

Lindholm has been Calgary’s 1C for years now and has been nominated for the Selke 4x Times and should have won it in 2020-21, check it out:

<a href="https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/lindhel01.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Lindholm Awards Look at Right Side Column</a></div></div>

Sure, he's had some good seasons as 1C but he's been more of a 2C in his career and that's what he'll likely remain in his 30s. Second, just because the voters vote him for the Selke doesn't mean he has that level especially when they rely on +/- and usage.

We would know if they didn't kept playing an injured goalie when there was another good one available. Also, Ullmark is more likely and should be the one moved.
