Thread: 3 teamer wirh NJD and CAL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>This is a good trade. That being said...

I'd hate to give up Lysell - I'd almost rather make it Merkulov and add an extra mid-round pick or another piece. I don't like Lindholm at $9M AAV and wonder if Hertl would be a better pivot for Pasta/Zacha</div></div>

Honestly, the Bruins might be better off sticking with their in-house options. Hertl's signed until 2030 and by then that contract will be pretty bad. Lysell's younger and gives you more financial flexibility, and assuming he makes the jump next year, allows you to fill a top 6 role with a cheap talent rather than having to spend extra. Besides, you have Poitras who's gonna grow into a top 6 role in the next few years as well, not to mention guys like Merkulov and Locmelis

Thread: goalie and center
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>Morgan Geekie is not a first line center in any way... he was a fourth line center in Carolina not so long ago
JVR-Frederic-Heinen advanced metrics are absolutely awful together... 31.7% xGF%, 42% SCF%, 16.7% HDCA%. The only reason they look slightly good is a 18.75% shooting percentage the team has when on the ice

Beecher has been very good for being a rookie
I'm not saying that your not a good team... I'm saying that your cup contention window shut
A lot of your depth peices are either young or having seasons that are outliers with their past performances (Danton Heinen, JVR, Fredrick)</div></div>

Frederic scored 17 goals and 14 assists last season, this year is just another step in his growth as a player. JVR had some of the worst puck luck in the league last year and had a career-low in points. He's just got a little better luck. Heinen scored 40+ in his last stint in Boston. He's a great bottom 6ers with a decent scoring touch.

None of these guys are shooting 25+ percent. Heinen and JVR are actually shooting lower than their career averages. Frederic's numbers are inflated bc of this hot streak but even if they come back down to 14% like last year, he's still gonna put up 20+ goals.
