Might be able to squeeze one more bridge deal out of him with out Ullmark here. Cap goes up soon, he might be willing to wait a year or two. But if he wants starter money without Ullmark then moving Linus is basically a wash on the cap

Ullmark should be traded this off-season, as good as he's been and im grateful for it, he'll be coming off what's likely a vezina and hopefully a cup ring, his value will probably be close to, if not at an all time high. Can get back some draft capital and continue to build around the new core.

I'd love to see:
DeBrusk - Bergy - Lysell
Hall - Krejci - Pasta
Zacha - Coyle - Smith
Freddy - Nosek/Stud - Steen
Let 95% of the top 9 play with what their line mates would be at full health. See what you got in the kid Lysell for a month and a half. You've already shown they have multiple types of options to go with so if Lysell doesnt get off to a good start they have the flexibility to make something happen. And if Lysell looks ready Craig Smith becomes expendable.

Just from a strategic standpoint. Eliminate all of the garbage vets (Dzingael, Edler, Del Zotto etc) and let the kids take those spots. Don’t do what management does. Sign old, mediocre vets to block young players.
BTW. You did not factor in bonus overages so you’d be over the cap.</div></div>
I gave the kids the 4th line and Lysell top 9! Loheri was moved in a trade. The vets are brought in just for experienced depth. But you are right, I forgot to include the overage. Might need to use some LTIR.

This would be for next year. This is a 2023-24 mock so next off season would his price be around this? Like I said, I thought it was a tad light from BOS. But I think this is a likely starting point.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS TEAM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>It would’ve made a ton of sense to commit to the rebuild this year and move Marchand and Pastrnak for good returns and get one of Fantilli, Yaeger, Carlsson etc.</div></div>
Issue about moving those guys this year are the no movement clauses in their contracts and the current cap situation 85-90% of the league is facing right now. Both players essentially have full control cuz of the state of the cap across the league. They can just look at a list and say okay they cant trade me to (insert # of teams on their lists) because those teams cant fit my cap hit and then they'll just list the teams that can take their cap as the teams on their no trade lists. I also dont think Marchy will ever get moved. And with the price tag of any type of Pasta trade being set in the DeBrincat move I think scared Don Sweeney. He won't make a trade unless it makes him look like a slam dunk winner IMO. He won't give up a "highly valuable" prospect; I'm pretty sure when OTT had Mark Stone the rumor was OTT wanted both Vaak and Stud in any Stone deal and Sweeney wouldn't budge on it. Could be remembering wrong but look how that turned out lol. I'm not a big Sweeney fan whatsoever so im a little bias in me pessimism but I don't trust this guy and I think Bruins fans are in for a rude awakening over the next 2-5 years.

We're so screwed for next year lol. I've made some rough draft mocks for next year and the FA market for centers is not strong. Unless a miracle happens and McKinnon wants to sign in Boston. One guy that comes to mind for me is Dubois, gonna have to be a trade or an offer sheet though. Personally I think the Bruins just need to bite the bullet and move Pasta. He's realistically their only option of getting a top tier level center to Boston. But I know Sweeney is gonna to prioritize extending Pasta and we're gonna have a merry go round of young centers trying to establish themselves. I cant wait for the dark ages after this year so Sweeney and Neely can get the boot.

Opening night lineup What I think will happen
Hall-Krejci-Pasta should be together no matter what the injuries are to start the season. Same with Zacha-Coyle-Smith. Keep the bottom 9 as what the lines as close to what they would be at full health. If they want a shot to make a deep run, the bottom 9 need to be rolling on all cylinders. Let them get their chemistry together for when Marchand's back who'll never miss a beat alongside Bergy. Call up Lysell to learn a bit from Bergy and see if his game is ready for the NHL. If his games really ready it gives you the ability to move Smith or DeBrusk (less likely to be moved than smith imo). Thats what I would do at least. And if you're wondering my 4th line is Freddy-Stud-Steen. Get Folingo out of there, seen enough from him already. Nosek bury in the AHL or hopefully someone scoops him on waivers. Same thing with Wags.

is this a playoff team
Considering the East and the Atlantic division specifically is loaded with good teams, I'd say they're about in the same spot as they were last year. OTT, DET took significant steps forward IMO. The Islanders won't be dealing with the covid situation they had last year basically not playing for a whole month. Most likely a 1st or 2nd round team again unless they draw some good matchups in the playoffs. But anything can happen in the NHL

If Krejci doesn't come back they're in a worse spot than this mocked team. The RW takes a hit obviously but you get a guy whose probably considered a good #1 center across the league. Rodrigues on a 1 yr stint, had a solid year, late in the off season, why not? He's gonna be playing with good players. Milano is riskier imo. He played with better talent last year and he could go either way. But I'll take the hit on the wing to strengthen the middle any day.

So you wouldn't want to acquire Pasta at the expense of Garland or one of the 3 players you just named? I have no clue about any of those prospects besides a bit about Hoglander and thats more fantasy hockey knowledge of the player, not necessarily actual hockey knowledge. Will any of them be the player that Pasta is today? In a move like this you're just re-establishing your core by moving on from Miller and getting Pasta (assuming the deal goes with extensions).

It helps fill out the top 6, ideally I'd assume both teams would rather make the trade with extensions in place for both players.
Garland - Petterson - Pasta/Boeser
Mikheyev - Horvat - Boeser/Pasta
Idk much about the Nucks prospect group so idk if someone takes Mikheyev's spot there at LW2. But its a talented top 6 FWD group nonetheless. $23M in cap for the Nucks next season (if no cap raise), Pasta and Horvat would likely take up $16-18M of it. Leaving a solid $7-5M to retain Hoglander and Dermott (if he's in the long term plan) and to fill out a couple other roster spots.
Taking all this info based off this mock; https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3548033 and making my best longer term assumptions as a Bruins fan about what the plan could be for the Nucks moving forward after a deal like this.

Dump Foligno Trade Reilly and Bury Wagner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsFan35</b></div><div>I kind of agree with this. I would also kinda like to see Lysell stay in Junior if he doesn’t get significant ice time with the big club, which is unlikely. Studnicka could be 3RW, and McLaughlin could play 4RW. No need for Brett Ritchie, one of the Bruins’ biggest issues is the logjam at every position for the past few years. Buying depth pieces at the deadline to try and push for cups has stopped them from allowing kids to learn at the NHL level. Studnicka, Steen, and probably even Senyshyn (prior to being moved) should’ve been given better opportunities to earn spots out of camp and in the preseason. Instead, veterans from Free Agency had the inside lane on the final roster spots, year in and year out.</div></div>
I think attacking free agency and creating the log jam was completely acceptable for the state they were in, who they actually got in free agency is a different story. The issue that happened was instead of moving these prospects they just hoarded them. And I'm not saying anyone you listed was gonna bring anyone significant in but there were times were Studnicka was considered a valuable trade piece that couldve been used.
In terms of Lysell, I hope they line him up with Bergy come opening day. I think its the best spot for him to learn the pro level game. I just think the Bruins have major issues in trusting youth talent in a league thats getting more youthful by the season. Probably a majority of that falls on Cassidy's liking of more veteran players and Sweeney's drafting that resulted in not the greatest of talent.

Well if Bergy is coming back you're going to have to create the best chance to win. Not having a 2C isnt a good formula for winning. Ill take the rental center which is the truest need over a rental winger which is replaced with a prove it contract winger on another "rental" signing. If Krejci ends up coming back then this mock can be thrown in the trash

Its tough to let go of pasta but we won't go anywhere without a #2 center, probably dont go much further even with this roster but the stronger down the middle we are, the more confident I am in any chance of making a run. And with the lack of center depth organizationally it almost seems like a no brainer type move if pasta wants out

The only piece thats significantly younger is Drysdale. Terry is only a year and a half younger than Pasta. Not saying that ANH would do it but I think the values pretty on par. Maybe a nice sweetener goes back to ANH cuz of the gap between Carlo's and Drysdales age.
