<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>The moment we acquired Peeke, I think it made Bahl less of an option. There are lots of deals with NJ possible if both sides believe that is what they want.

I think the cleanest deal is the 2025 first for Ullmark. Maybe Holtz depending on what NJ views as their cap preference to keep.</div></div>

Agreed - I don't think a Peeke/Bahl combo would play to either of their strengths. Much rather target Holtz or Casey in an Ullmark deal.

<a href="/users/jastone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@jastone</a> Freddy and Geekie's next deals are probably in the $4-5.5M AAV territory and cap is expected to continue to go up. I agree with the notion of being somewhat frugal, but I think we can afford to add another $4-5M vet on either LHD or to the middle 6

Thread: Bruins V5
1. My belief is Calgary hangs up

2. LA trade needs more money coming to the Bruins to be realistic.

Sean Durzi is the type of player you want on your team and the type of player you are always trying to replace with younger, cheaper talent. I’d hate for him to be the base in a Ullmark deal, because there is no upside. Think of him as the equivalent of Trent Frederic of defense. He has some really interesting skills and a great attitude, but his game lacks some important parts.

To give context, Boston fans want Reilly off the team. If Mike Reilly and Sean Durzi made the same money, Reilly is the better player. He may not have the undersized I’ll show you different attitude that resonates when you watch Durzi, but he’s a better player both ways with a lot of Durzi’s benefit coming on the PP.

The player I’d target is Francesco Pinelli, because I think the Kings need to manage the risk around Turgeon. Ive accepted that a trade with the Kings includes Iafallo or Arvidssen with a strong preference towards Iaffallo.
