Lucic 1yr - 1mil
Gryz + for Hanifin
Best Cheapest centre available

Think that'll be it If I had to guess and I wouldn't be too mad. Who knows with Bergeron but should leave some space open for his return. Trades during the season, the deadline and I'm sure a kid or two will show up to camp and impress. Now that I've seen the best of the best season followed by major let down. I want to see a scrappy, fast and eager bunch make the playoffs and play with no stress. Like mentioned above, Monty seems like a great coach for this type of team.

The Bruins can't improve from last year as far as 82 games go and we all know that.

Can they stay in the Top 3 in the Atlantic? I suspect they will but Buffalo appears ready to make a move as does Detroit.

I am not so sure. If Buffalo acquires Hellebyuck, or any goalie worth his salt, that spells big trouble. ...Detroit is a mixed bag and at least a year away.

 

[McGarnagle]

Just give me Lucic

lucic wheeler kessel the boys are getting back together

 

[UConn126]

Lucic would be rad. Hope the rumors are true.

I thought Duchene would be a good target but according to the main board he sucks at center and is essentially a full time wing now, so probably not much use.

One of Parise, Nyquist, or Wheeler could be a good add for a cheap veteran presence that can play in the top 6 if called upon.

I have a suspicion we sign Gambrell since he played for Monty in college and will be a league minimum guy after he didn't quite work out in Ottawa. Cheap body to bring into camp and can easily waive if he's not working out.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Let Bert walk and over-offer on Yamamoto

 

[LouJersey]

Goaltending and defense set. Guessing Lauko, Freddy and Swayman come in at about 7 mil. Lucic about 1 mil.

Today is the day NHL infatuation with da Broons and their players shows up as Tyler Bertuzzi & Dmitri Orlov join previous catastrophic contracts (Milan Lucic. Andrew Ference, Johnny Boychuk, Nathan Horton and Tyler Seguin. Add Loui Eriksson as the cherry on top - and Iginla was no day at the park)

You sign an ex-Bruins you are getting a lemon

Hope Bert comes to his senses and signs with us. He was born to be a Bruin

Be interesting to see if Detroit is able to sign Kostin.

 

[Kate08]

So signings can start at 11?

Don't see him signing here. Odds are some team will overpay or goes back to Detroit.

Duchene is intriguing but I wouldn't go more than a year. No idea what AAV he would get. Think Sweeney is looking at stop-gap to next summer when he has real money.

Also 21 goal scorer Daniel Sprong did not get qualified by the Kraken.

Why would Duchene only do a year though?

They have no money / they should reset and hope to grab 7 or 8 spot and come out swinging next July

Rumor is Chicago for Bertuzzi

Their GM Collecting Bruins

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I don't think he will. Hope n a prayer. Bruins can afford a 2nd year with the 2024 cap looking good.
