Boston Bruins ‘22-‘23 Bruins roster and trade proposals discussions. III

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Yea I was looking but a good GM finds ways when u have shot at Cup View attachment 615052


What are you figuring Wally ?Any ideas how they could add this guy for playoff run.Love to shed Reilly or Smith coin.

Any deal bringing someone in of worth or note involves salary going out.

I foresee a few "middle-men" trade partners this year retaining on some salaries.

O Reilly would be my target 100% .His salary will be mostly paid by deadline (correct?)and UFA to be.Does that cap hit stil count regardless money owed?Not a cap guy lol

Smith is the UFA-to-be. Reilly has another year, which I think some have already stated was the reason no one would take him.

Add in, his base salary is 4M next year; so his salary is even more than cap hit. (and buyout would be higher as well)

I meant Ryan O'Reilly sorry. Assume anything Bruins do hinges on shedding one of those 2

Oh yea, I'd be open to that if we could make the money work. I'd personally be open to O'Reilly (EDIT, I did the same thing, missing the O) or Horvat if we can make it work. Short-term and long-term fixes if we can get them to stay.

Taking that pesty REILLY deal would be a godsend; but imagine that increases to the price of whatever player we want. And I see us doing it.

One question.OReilly salary be mostly paid by deadline.Does the cap hit still count against regardless of salary owed. I am assuming it does .Sorry this stuff is not my area.I know a good player part though lol

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

There is still another 500k for DK after Saturday for making the playoffs. Then there is Swayman's.

I don't know how they clear enough space for all that.

wouldn't Krejci's just roll over to next year's cap?

 

[Gee Wally]

I cant envision it happening. The numbers $ arent there.

That makes me sad but ty Wally .Sure love to see Bruins free money up can't lie cause this is it .

 

[CellyHard]

Is Roope Hintz contract a comparable for Horvat? It seems like it is almost certain that he is going to get at least 8x8 at this point

 

[sarge88]

IF they're going to do anything at the deadline, I'd hope it would be to add a defenseman.

It seems as if the forward depth is there.

If they could grab a guy to bolster their back end, I think that would be more valuable in the playoffs.

As much as I hate to say it --- I think we all know that for a cup run, there's a chance they'll need to use 9-10 defensemen. If they could get someone on an expiring contract who is good enough to slot into the 4/5 spot if needed, I'd feel a lot better about things in the spring. Unless they think that Lohrei can be that guy?

For me:

Grzelcyk - McAvoy
Carlo - Lindhom
Clifton - Forbert

????, Zboril, Reilly, Stralman

 

[UConn126]

wouldn't Krejci's just roll over to next year's cap?

I think all 4 million of Krejci and Bergeron's bonuses + whatever bonus Swayman gets on his ELC, will slide to next year. Effectively will negate any cap increase the league sees. That + extensions for Pasta and Swayman and we don't exactly have cap space for the #1 center so many are calling for us to trade for.

What we learned following the Bruins' 5th straight win over Tampa Bay

Two months in, and at the quarter-mark of the 2022-23 season, the Boston Bruins are showing no signs of slowing down.

And Pasta sits unsigned , not a good look......

 

[HustleB]

read doms breakdown of how Gold did it. Above your post.

I read it and it was well written, but if I told you I understood my nose might grow an inch. I remain lost.

In my ideal short term scenario I’d still try like hell to move Reilly.
Then bring Stralman back up to complete the roster.
Bank the ~ 2 million difference for a rainy day. ( or towards bonus carryover)

I prefer to move Smith, but otherwise I agree.

 

[goldnblack]

So curious if Stralman actually reports

 

[danpantz]

The d pairs are tough right now.

I too would like them to split up McAvoy and Lindholm to spread it out.
Lindholm/Clifton has been downright dominate at times and we all know McAvoy/Gryz just works.
Worried a Forbort Carlo pairing might have a tough time transitioning but they certainly could be used as a pure shut down pairing.

I always felt that Carlo's transition work was sound. He's a good skater (very good for his size) and he makes a good first pass.

He's limited in that he never rushes the puck much and he's still not terribly effective in the offensive zone.

But deployed right Forbort paired with Carlo should be fine.

So by doing your set of pairings you are increasing Cliftons ice time , recipe for disaster.........

The stats for a Clifton Lindholm pairing are insane.

Over the long haul will not be pretty..............full disclosure I have not been caught up in the Clifton euphoria,,,,,,,,,

 

[Absurdity]

If it was coming down to the very fine details of the contract, Massachusetts passing question 1 probably threw another wrench into things.

 

[Patdud]

I doubt it, saves the Bruins a roster spot if he agrees to term at least. They'll have to give up assets now for a #4 RD on the Depth chart but there are likely others available in a Reilly swap that will give you equal or better play.

You dont say. Lol

I don’t know my target yet. Let’s assume Ullmark has a great playoff run. Bergy retires.

What could we get for; Swayman, Gryzlyck and a 1st draft night?
