Thread: WATCH OUT FOR THIS TEAM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ngikas</b></div><div>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.</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.

Thread: The Sweeney scramble
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ngikas</b></div><div>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).</div></div>

Hoglander and Podkolzin likely never become the scorers that Pasta is, <a href="/users/theAlien" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@theAlien</a> is just explaining that adding more winger depth is not a pressing need for the Canucks so as to not push the young guys too far down the depth chart. Plus, we don't know if Kuzmenko is gonna hit or not, let alone to what degree

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ngikas</b></div><div>rather have one of the kids play, just my opinion tho. Personally I hope the 4th line is Freddy-Stud-Steen.</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.
