Rumor: 2021-2022 Official Boston Bruins Rumors and Roster Proposal Thread XIII

[stungun54]

people realize this is not rick middleton all the rumors are talking about right? 95% of all of HF besides San Jose board even knew this kids name 2 weeks ago, now he is all the rage. He didnt stick out to me all that much last week on the road trip. sure he might be good but not mortgaging any futures on a question mark. not against acquiring him but reeks of Reilly desperation from last year.

Bruins need to do something about the 4th line

Foligno Nosek Lazar is a lost line. Mostly battling to get the puck out on the defensive end

In their defense, Chicago was trying to matchup Kane and DeBrincat against them.

That said, I don't love Nosek's defensive game at center. That line played it's best with Frederic at LW and Freddy rotating into the center role in the Dzone. Freddy does this a lot on the Coyle line too. Maybe Foligno needs to do some of that. Or maybe an addition to the top6 will push a couple guys down the lineup.

I think a 4th line upgrade would be a luxury item. Perhaps something opportunistic. Short of that, I think they roll with this one with Blidh and Steen in reserve for the bottom six. Nosek is getting 73% D Zone starts, Lazar 76% - pretty tough minutes.

Folingo was not much of a factor in his 1000th game. He is not helping on that fourth line. Blidh brought more. Time for Nick to sit.

That 4th line played against line #1&2 fir a bit tonight . Love our fourth line.. that is what every 4th line does. They ar3 up and down. That is why they are the 4th line.

Just a touch better than Ritchie-Kuraly-Wagner lol

Who I'd like the bruins to go for:
1/2 Lindholm/Giroux (whichever is the greater need)
3 Middleton (if lindholm can't be aquired)

I like that brett howden kid from vegas seems like he is finding his game only 23. Hes recently injured but should be ok.

Your dedication to acquiring obscure bottom 6 centers is admirable.

 

[Coach Parker]

Another day with more silence on Hertl signing or not.

 

[CDJ]

Unparalleled, nobody else like it

I will say I do like Howden though lol

I try to look for cheap young talent. Look at zona picking up Ritchie at the bargain basement he looks like hes gonna pop 20 . Zona also got crouse for zip and hes on fire. That's how winning is done.

Or, as my daughter and her high school friends called it:

The Dirty Ric

Hey, leave my town alone. Its a great hockey town. When or If he plays for Boston, he will be the 3rd Billerica boy to play for the Bruins.

Never thought I'd hear the name Ritchie and winning in the same sentence

 

[The don godfather]

He found a home in zona. Hes been on fire. Its early but looks like a steal for bill Armstrong.

 

[quietbruinfan]

A good, young 4th liner with some speed would definitely help. Tyler Motte is a 3rd liner who plays some 4th. He is available for a second and maybe a B prospect.

Foligno Nosek Lazar is a lost line. Mostly battling to get the puck out on the defensive end

that line in 58 5v5 minutes together has generated 50 attempts and allowed 36. This is actually the best 5v5 shot attempt ratio of any line combo on the team that doesn't include Bergeron on the line. Literally 5th on the team but every combo ahead of them is some variation of a line with Bergy. they have no goals but have only allowed one. This is with Nosek and Lazar taking the highest percentage of defensive zone faceoffs on the team.

so yeah it's just false that they are getting stuck in their zone, despite often starting there.

Nick paul would be worth a look

 

[Grimey]

If he can keep it up it would be nice to see. I liked him when he was a Bruin but he wasn't exactly the most consistent player either

 

[The don godfather]

Oel for jake and foligno. Will all that contact stuff work? I'm probably gonna get blasted as usual. Oel has been ok this year and could help back there we get rid of disgruntled jake and nick bad contract. We get oel more term I know but he still can play.

 

[CDJ]

I don’t hate the idea of signing Oscar Lindberg as forward depth. Not sure what the deal would be with him leaving the KHL

 

[22Brad Park]

Never thought I'd hear the name Ritchie and winning in the same sentence

You told me earlier about Strome saying maybe the other one .Dylan Strome has been good .And honestly alot better then Haula and only 25 .He has 33 pts in 48 games with 16 goals .I would have no issue adding him .

Foligno Nosek Lazar is a lost line. Mostly battling to get the puck out on the defensive end

They get 70% d zone starts and 60% of the xG. I think they are playing pretty well considering their deployment.

Zip=11th overall pick in the 15 draft.

This post is parody right? I think so.

 

[bbfan419]

Sounds like 2nd and 4th would do the trick

A little pricey for a pure stay at home + need to resign in the offseason

Sellers are always going to start the asking price high, does not mean they get that, if he is still there on TDL day he may get a 3rd + b prospect like Steen, not giving a 2nd or any top prospects for Middleton.
