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

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Last I looked Bruins had near 6 million in space.Could be lower now no clue

They have about 6 with LTIR. McAvoy is due back sometime this month, and Forbort by the new year (if not sooner), so UNLESS there's another LTIR (of someone with salary), we will be in a must need to move someone mode within the next month.

If they can start helping that situation out, the sooner the better in my opinion. Before the season started; I think they were compliant with Reilly and Foligno in the minors. Not sure how that number changes with short term IR and callups though.

The stallion is getting very very close

The bolded is like me saying: 182 points almost 300 games in his career.

Reality is he requires players like Ovi, Kane and DeBrincat to actually produce. He's not a guy that makes his linemates better, just a complementary player.

Exactly. I live in Chicago and have watched Strome plenty over the last 4 years. The post above sums him up nicely. I'll add that the guy is a major liability on the defensive end as well. Not someone you want taking draws in your own end.

But hey, why bother watching a guy when you can simply look at point totals......

going to be interesting how they make room.

I think any move HAS to include Smith, Wally.

He's the most expendable option and would clear $3.1mil. Perhaps Reilly as well, but I think we are going to need him for depth throughout the season and he can play both sides.

Pains me to say that, because as a Wisconsin kid, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Craig Smith and I like the way he plays, but I just don't see a better alternative. I think he's as good as gone.

I was banging the drums to snag dylan strome last year when his value was dung. I was getting blasted. Look at him now only 25 yrs old. Caps got a solid center for years.

…yeah but who were you gonna ship out for him? Debrusk?

And you want more from a center. If he was a winger that could play with talent, sure. But a passenger no defense center? Eh.

5v5

2g 3a vs 3g 2a

Canucks saying UFA Horvat is available
Rutherford saying guys to acquire under 27 yrs

How about

Carlo
Smith
Zboril
1rst

Horvat UFA 28 yrs old - sign Bo to 6yrs / 45M

Vancouver hangs up the phone.

We need a future young center with oodles of potential I like that krebs kid from buffalo only 21. I guess lysell would be too much for him. Maybe we can send a lohrei back?

 

[Number8]

Who are we going to move to get Charlie Mac back in the lineup? I’m dying to see our defense with two dominate #1 DMen.

Horvat is a UFA and playing like it. His numbers will drop next year once he signs.

I have to suspect that whatever move they do will be a hockey trade. I do wonder if they will try to do their deadline shopping early and include some future assets like draft picks and prospects to upgrade the roster somewhere.

I can only dream that it is something like Smith + Reilly + 2023 1st + Keyser for Kane (some retained) and Sikura - Go all-in on this team. Though I genuinely have no idea if that is even close to getting it done.

they need to clear $$$ to activate Mac.
Theyre over the cap.

Hawks can retain up to 5 million on that deal. I'm far too full of cheesecake right now to do maths, but that should do it I would think.

 

[The don godfather]

Stud 2 points in 4 games. I always wanted to keep him. Darn.

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[KrugAvoy]

Wonder if they'll run Keyser/Kinkaid in Providence and Bussi/DiPietro in Maine unless Keyser is on the move

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I'm glad my disdain for Dylan Strome's style of play is shared here. Sometimes I feel like I'm going bananas with other groups of people.

 

[CDJ]

Ryan Strome >>>> Dylan


Spooner had some decent production at points too, doesn’t mean much when it’s the only dimension in their game

 

[Kegs]

Not what I said, also different era . They were all smaller back then. Nice try though , now go to back of the line.


There's a difference. I never said anything about 5'11"

You think players used to be smaller?

If you don't move cap out, how do you get McAvoy back on the roster?

U go full Tampa. U put some one on ir until playoffs :p then u got 10 million over and win the cup

 

[Dizzay]

@DominicT is my math close that the Bruins need to clear close to 3.23 million to activate Charlie?
I'm very curious how they do that by only moving Smith or Reilly alone?

 

[Grimey]

It's too bad, because I thought Spooner was looking more complete just before the Nash trade. He was getting engaged physically and looked more committed to playing responsible hockey away from the puck.

He didn't throw many huge hits but there were a couple times I caught myself saying "wait...was that Spooner who ran that guy??" Then he forgot how to play in the NHL the next season.

 

[loosemoose]

Accordin to CapFriendly, they currently have 6,262,500$ of cap space. Putting Forbort on LTIR mean they can go 3 million dollars over the cap. Basically they only need to find 300k in the short term which can be done by waiving any left handed defenceman (Zboril, Strålman, Reilly).

Tune in next month when it's "I told you guys stud sucked!"

Any way the wind blows
