Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion IVX-post TDL

Peeke has a Seidenberg vibe to me. I hope I’m right

Let's not get carried away.

Looking forward.

They

Better sit all their D then because they all do dumb crap over and over, that's why they can't get out of their zone. The play should be to the goalie as they are the only ones that can get it out with any regularity!

Wonder if the Avs are going to part ways with Manson next year since they brought in Walker as another RHD? Signed at 4.5 I think but could be worth thinking about

You saw him ragdoll Zadorov too eh?

Zadorov slipped. BigZa had the Gordie-Howe-Hatty tonight, I see.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I guess I don’t get the article comparing Ullmark to Tim Thomas other than the Bruins not wanting them. One is a proven playoff performer and the other anything but. Maybe it’s trying to suggest that Ullmark is now determined to play like Thomas did in 2011? We can only hope, but based on last year I wouldn’t hold my breath.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I would rather have Zadorov than Manson at this stage in their careers. I would gladly take Manson as a Carlo upgrade, however.

Oh I still want him this offseason, I think they need a LH D more than a RH D like Manson anyway

The point is that, like Thomas, Ulllmark may use the attempted trade(s) as motivation going forward, as you surmise.

Brilliant 7 years older than Carlo, not that I would not like what he would bring . good add not so good subtract.

 

[Carl Hungus]

You saw him ragdoll Zadorov too eh?

Haha he was all over the ice last night, that was a great game. Both Dallas and the Nucks folded on a 3-0 lead in back to back nights, nice to see that happen to other teams

Edit: Zadorov looked good too. Would also prefer him

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Zadorov was had for a fifth round pick, Sweeney missed this one.

I’d overpay for Lindgren next yr.

We could have the second coming of Big Z in BOS wb amazing

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Zadorov probably wants 4 years and 20m
Would you do it?

I would.

Basically replaces grizzly and Forbort money with a little change left over

Not sure what the cost would be for Zadorov, but he is exactly the type of defenseman this team needs.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Why are we paying $5M to a third pair defenseman?

 

[Carl Hungus]

I think zadorov is at 3.75 on a 2 year deal right now, may be able to get the aav lower if it's a ~4 year deal? He's 28 so that term wouldn't be that much of an issue

 

[GordonHowe]

In case you have some time to kill before MTL,

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Bad enough to pay one 2.75.

No chance.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

I think Carlo Brando is time to sell….man he sucks again vs Montréal

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I’ve been ready to move on from him since the Landeskog rumors. A dozen concussions ago.

 

[PB37]

Incoming Pasta hatty + 5 points this Saturday.

 

[BostonBob]

Zadorov was had for a fifth round pick, Sweeney missed this one.

Not exactly - Calgary got a 2024 5th round pick and a 2026 3rd round pick from Vancouver for Zadorov.

We all missed the Zadorov for a 5th round pick since it never happened

Lindgren going to be interesting what he gets

One to watch his stock has plummeted but still like him a lot

I’m with you here about acquiring but 6 M on shorter term likely

With trade deadline behind them, Jake DeBrusk and Linus Ullmark can focus on hockey - The Boston Globe

DeBrusk, fresh off the game-winning overtime goal in Montreal Thursday, acknowledged "a sense of relief" that he's still a Bruin.

www.bostonglobe.com

MONTREAL — Not long ago, Jake DeBrusk wasn’t sure whether he would be getting the bum’s rush out of Boston.
Instead, he found himself finishing off a rush down the sheet of ice at 1909 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montreal (a.k.a. Bell Centre), to give the Bruins a 2-1 victory in the club’s 24th overtime session of the season Thursday night.
It was DeBrusk at his best, flashing his speed and silky hands — he calmed Brad Marchand’s pass before deftly going to his backhand to beat a flat-footed Samuel Montembeault.
DeBrusk knows where he’ll be through the rest of this season, and that comfort level should spark an increase in his production. His future is still uncertain — he’s poised for unrestricted free agency — but his present is set: He’ll be riding right wing on a line with Charlie Coyle and Marchand.

“I’ve been through it before, so no, obviously I think that everybody in this room can agree it’s a sense of relief and where you’re going to be,” he said Thursday, still catching his breath after his 16th goal of the season secured 2 points for the Bruins.

“Obviously you see guys come in, they’re super excited and it’s just that time of year again, right? So obviously it seems like there’s been a lot of games in between and it seems like a busy schedule, but it’s been good. And obviously tonight was not necessarily [our] best game as a team, but we found a way.”

Another player whose name was tossed out in myriad trade scenarios and speculation was Linus Ullmark. The reigning Vezina Trophy holder has maintained that he loves his current situation and uprooting his family was not something he was interested in.

Ullmark, who has a partial no-trade clause in his contract, is 2-0 since the deadline passed, allowing just two goals in six-plus periods in wins over the Penguins and Canadiens.

Perhaps the only person more relieved than DeBrusk and Ullmark is coach Jim Montgomery, who is keenly aware of what those two bring when they can focus purely on hockey.

“Those two and other players, too, who may have had doubts, the trade deadline is just not a fun time for anybody to be around for the week leading up to it,” said Montgomery. “And we really value those two in particular as people, as teammates, and as Boston Bruins. They love being Bruins and it shows in the way they’re playing right now.”

A boost for Beecher​

Center Johnny Beecher, up from Providence on an emergency basis, played a dozen minutes Thursday, including some high-leverage situations. He played on the penalty kill and took the faceoff to start overtime.

“It’s huge,” Beecher said of the boost he got from getting the tap from Montgomery. “It’s kind of one of those things where it gives me a ton of confidence. Seeing that they have that trust in me going forward is massive.

“Faceoffs are a huge part of my game and how I’m going to be able to help the team win down the stretch, and I felt that I was able to do a pretty good job inside the dot today.”

Beecher won 8 of 11 faceoffs.

“Johnny Beecher had a great backcheck,” said Montgomery. “He was excellent on the faceoff dot, did a great job on the PK, and I loved how hard he went to the net-front.”

Peeke form​

Defenseman Andrew Peeke played 17 minutes across 22 shifts and looked completely comfortable on the bottom pairing with Parker Wotherspoon. “I thought his gaps were good,” said Montgomery. “I thought he was aggressive. I thought he was physical, separated people. I thought he did a good job on the four-on-four when we put him out there. Played aggressive, which is what we’re looking for, and using his feet.”
