Boston Bruins 2023-2024 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion II

[JoeIsAStud]

DeBrusk has been solid to my eyes. No complaints from me.

Completely agree.

That said if he doesn't score, he's not gonna get the big bucks in the offseason

DeBrusk has usually been streaky with the goal scoring. All the other parts of his game are there - using teammates well, battling for the puck, using his speed.

It is really odd the trade value people put on Goalies. They have the single biggest impact on the game, every game they play. Yet no one would consider trading a franchise center for a Vezina caliber goaltender. Edmonton and Carolina right now are seeing the impact that poor goaltending can have. Edmonton being a Canadian market, I don't give it long before they are goalie shopping.

Sure but also at the same time there’s instances like the vegas golden knights or the Colorado avs who win it with back up goalies or in colorados case a goalie who got benched and played extremely poorly in the playoffs yet they still won.

And then you have the bruins who had the vezina winner but the past two years he’s been complete dog shit in the playoffs with a below .900 save percentage each playoff run.

Vegas has two starting goalies. Both goalies are very good. there is a good chance Hill represents Canada at the next Olympics. Thompson and Hill give them a chance to win every game.

The only trade I want them to make at the deadline is someone who they can resign like they did withe lindholm. Perhaps that’s the other lindholm.

No rentals this year please.

Adin hill has been a journeyman backup goalie his whole career. Headed into the playoffs last year he had 25 regular season starts for vegas, which was a career high. He averaged 13 games per season headed into the playoffs last year.

Please don’t give me the “they had two goalies last year for their cup run” speech. He maybe be their starter now but at the time they were not a two goalie team. They were a team that was completely absent a starting goalie and just hoping one got hot and Hill did.

I'm starting to feel the same way. Bruins have some kids in Providence who can step in if injuries present themselves leading up to the playoffs/in playoffs.

I'm starting to ponder

"ok what actually does happen if your goalies each make 6M" in a 90M cap world that's not too far away. 13% of your cap to the goalies by that point.

It's not THAT bad. But that's about what it would take. They both agree to be 6M and a life together doing hugs till Linus slows down first.

I once considered that impossible. But maybe it could change the game like RBBC in football?

That's says more about Canada's weak goalie pool. They are good not great goalies.

Bruins-Blackhawks takeaways: 'We're starting to see our identity'

The Bruins played heavy hockey in a 3-0 win over the Blackhawks in Chicago Tuesday. Matthew Poitras continues to impress.

“We’re starting to see our identity build. I think the L.A. game and this game tonight, you’re starting to see us become a heavy grinding team, which is what I think we’re going to have to be.”

I think its possible too. I just don't think its very smart.........or likely.

 

[NeelyDan]

question marks around the middle aside, I'm starting to get the feeling this isn't a team makeup that you (at least currently) screw with

 

[Ace0813]

Ian Mitchell on waivers right now. I wonder if that leads to a Heinen signing?

 

[The don godfather]

Ian Mitchell on waivers right now. I wonder if that leads to a Heinen signing?

That could be it. I thought ian Mitchell played well . Strange .

Interesting, I thought he played like dogwater, ha.

 

[Absurdity]

Leaves the Bruins with only 6D though. I wonder who will be the 7th.

 

[trenton1]

Ian Mitchell on waivers right now. I wonder if that leads to a Heinen signing?

Seems like it. Although wouldn't they have waived/sent down Brown considering no one wanted him two weeks ago? They will need a 7th defenseman on the roster when they hit the road again.

 

[NDiesel]

Ian Mitchell on waivers right now. I wonder if that leads to a Heinen signing?

Maybe heinen signing to to replace the injured Lauko? Although still strange, as someone above mentioned, that they wouldn't send Brown down. Maybe Lucic will be out a bit longer as well...

LOHREEEEEEI

LOHREEEEEEI

He's too good to be on the bench. Would rather he get regular reps either in Providence or in the NHL.

They did it with Zboril and others. Sometimes just travelling with the team is cool. Plus he can play on 2b2's etc.

With Jackson Edward signing, I am wondering if there is a trade.

 

[Patdud]

LOHREEEEEEI

would imagine its to sign Heinen given the injury potential to Lauko

 

[Blowfish]

Not worried about losing him one bit...claim away 31 teams claim away.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I dunno much about Jackson Edward, but like he led the London Knights in PIMS last season
