Thread: where linus might end up

If DET gets in to the playoffs, I could maybe see them looking to upgrade via trade.

You have to get a 1st for Ullmark though, or a A+/Blue-chip prospect.

Thread: Can they really beat Tampa

if the 63 - 13 - 74 line can figure out their game, then yes. But I don't remember the last time they had a good game.

I think it goes 7 games, especially if there is only one line scoring for the B's. Either way, this was always a "transition" year. So whatever happens, happens.

I have to think that Laine would be on the move before Gaudreau.

Thread: using cap space to fill the roster no elcs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>did he though? he hurt his shoulder - those things happen.

you said it, heinen has been great. why ditch that? he's not going to be expensive.</div></div>

I think he's going to ask 3m-3.5m, no? Going to end up being a .5 ppg player.

I think they throw the bag at Hanifin, probably looking for a top 6 center. If they re-sign DeBrusk, which is very much up in the air, I don't see him fitting.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>1. you forgot poitras
2. letting heinen walk would be a huge mistake.</div></div>

Could the AHL help Poitras? He got really beat up in the NHL.

Heinen has been great but how long can you keep Merk/Lysell down? I would hope they leave 1 middle six spot up for grabs. At this point they should just trade them if they're not going to play them.

Thread: Bottom 6 is broken

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>ya, totally, a couple guys have a rough game or two (frederic yes, debrusk is playing fine). Time for a presidents trophy contending team to call up a winger from the AHL to play center with 5 games left in the season! While you're at it, demote Lohrei and stick your #7 d man in the top four! brilliant.</div></div>

I mean the D-pairs are identical to last night. I can't say I'm a huge fan of having Lohrei on the roster just to sit, call him up in the playoffs if needed.

Merk is top 5 in scoring in the AHL and has played center all year.

Thread: Lines for tomorrow based on practice

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I don’t believe splitting Beecher and Boqvist makes sense if the objective is to keep Boqvist at center.

Personally believe it makes more sense to move Brazeau to the third line, which makes it a big line and preps for when Maroon comes back.

Curious to see if JVR’s issue is based on issues with a pre-existing injury OR if he’s dealing with the ramifications of long COVID. His play has been an issue</div></div>

Braz has had stints on the third line and it hasn't stuck for whatever reason. I don't think Geekie and Frederic are good enough skaters to make up for Braz lack of speed like Boqvist and Beecher.

I have a feeling that JVR is likely done, or done as a regular in the lineup anyway. Less than impactful, his lack of speed is much more noticeable than Brazeaus. I would love to see them give Merk a chance at 3LW but I don't see it happening now.

I think if Monty is worried about faceoff match ups with Boqvist, he could toggle Beecher on that line for D-zone draws.

Thread: Lines for tomorrow based on practice

If that third line can get a forecheck going, that's a whole lot of bodies being thrown around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Jimmy Murphy is saying he’s hearing the Bruins are out on Graf (he apparently said no) and are the favorite for Quillan.

Yeah I usually don't trust what that guy says, but Quillan makes sense. I think he projects as a Charlie Coyle type, high-end 3C.

Thread: JVR needs to be out of the lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Lysell and Graf would be fighting for the same position. Merk and Poitras would be the same. The Bruins had a slot open for Lysell, but I think they wanted to give him a full year before putting him in. Not sure why they waited on Merkulov

At this point, I don’t see another young player getting a shot.

My guess would be that they shift Brazeau to the third line and insert Maroon on the fourth line when he’s ready if they are concerned about JVR</div></div>

I could see Merk getting a couple games until Maroon is ready. But yeah, I don't think he sticks, which is unfortunate because he's deserved to be given a shot over Lauko this year I think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Rough 15 game stretch with just 1 point for JVR, but his 15 games prior he had put up 12 points.

I have not seen anything from him that shows that he is "due". Seems just like the season has taken a toll on the 34 year old vet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Would like to see Merk on 3rd line rest of year. See what he could do with regular shifts.

If Qunny goes out this weekend Collin Graf would be nice too.</div></div>

Graf or Quillan? I feel like Poitras and Graf might be fighting for a similar spot/role. This organization already has a hard time getting Merk and Lysell into the lineup.

Thread: probably not a wild offseason

Something I've thought about recently, what if the Bruins try to move Coyle while his value is at an all time high? They have two young centers who could play middle six (Poitras/Merkulov). Also makes room for Lysell.

If they can't get the value they are looking for out of Ullmark, they could shed cap that way. Not sure if it will happen and that would be a lot of rookies/sophomores on one team.

Thread: Bruins 24-25

Vatrano is going to come back down the earth eventually. There's a reason GMs wouldn't pay a premium for him this year.

Also I think it would be a big miss to not even get a '24 draft pick for Ullmark.

Thread: Wings

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FinishyourchecksGM</b></div><div>Need to take him or Husso or Holl for cap reasons</div></div>

Get a third team to broker. The reason for trading Ullmark would be to clear cap to get a 1LD or top 6 fwd.

Thread: Wings

Bruins don't need a 3C, so I don't think they would take Copp. But minus Copp, I would do that deal.

Thread: Next Szn

I think if the Bruins keep Lysell or Merkulov down another year, they're doing themselves a disservice. That being said, I have no idea how they fit them in.

Do you package Geekie with Ullmark to get a better return? Let JD walk for nothing? Going to be interesting for sure.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 11 at 10:37 a.m.

Thread: Ullmark

Yeah he's probably not going to a Canadian team and there's nothing of interest in that return.

No one is giving Lindholm 8.5 after this year.

Thread: Current Roster

Moving Forbort to LTIR opens up space to bring Beecher, Lysell or Merkulov up which is good.

Also can't believe Ullmark nixed the 2nd or 3rd trade that has been offered for him.

Thread: Three Way BOS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Ultimately, I think Boston is interested in Lindholm.

Ullmark, DeBrusk, and $3.25M of retention this year for Lindholm, Schmid, and a 2nd round pick.

Lindholm and Swayman get extended while opening up a slot of Lysell and Lohrei for this year.</div></div>

This would be fine if he was the player he was last year.

You're taking a huge gamble that he turns his season around. He already has shown he can't be a difference maker in VAN.

If this is going to be the price for him, I don't want it.
