Boston Bruins 2023-2024 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion II

[HustleB]

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

I wouldn't go that far. I saw promise. Would like to have him develop in Providence for his next opportunity.

 

[mar2kbos]

My guess this is to sign Henien, I think they wanted to see if Potsy would be sent back first, since that is unlikely, this is plan B.

 

[Blowfish]

Walsh shows more promise, Zboril played a better game, Lohrei etc...My guess the bruins brass wanted to see what they had in trade from Chicago (NHL level), were not all that impressed, better assets in Providence, and time to sign a Heinen. Heinen obliged to wait knowing this plan.

He doesn't get picked up ... simply one more asset in the bucket.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

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

Means nothing. His contract doesn’t count while he’s playing junior.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

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

No.

He’s better off playing priority minutes in Providence over just traveling with the team.

So, Mitchell and Brown are down... Interesting.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Well that cinches it. Something is definitely up

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Down goes Brown

So… Lohrei up and Heinen signed?

What d-man besides Lohrei?

Advanced cap management?

A deal to announce?

Seems a bit off brand to send two guys down who can be claimed for cap management. Forbort/Lucic/Lauko all out longer than expected? Heinen signed for Lucic/Lauko, Lohrei up for Forbort?

If it’s for injuries to Lauko/Lucic, doesn’t sending Brown down take you to 10 forwards? Not sure what it would accomplish.

Did Forbort aggravate his injury last night?

It’s all a little curious, honestly. You’re right. Why risk Mitchell getting claimed for a few dimes?

Has Lohrei played THAT well in Providence that they feel they can’t keep him down any longer? I haven’t heard anything to that effect.

Honestly blanked that Forbort played last night, thought he was still out.

So maybe it is some cap management moves + Heinen being signed? Odd for them to roll 6 D as well with Mitchell down.

Definitely some curious moves here...

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

 

[neelynugs]

they don't need extra bodies for home games, so that saves them money on the cap. i assume that's part of it.

 

[PlayMakers]

Honestly blanked that Forbort played last night, thought he was still out.

I know he played because he watched Coyle's pass go right across his toes to Connor Bedard for the goal that got called back.

 

[PlayMakers]

I think it's as simple as Brown/Mitchell out, Lohrei/Heinen in.

With Forbort and Lauko potentially out, we could see both play tomorrow night.

 

[GordonHowe]

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

Why would they do that? He's a seventh defenseman. Heinen is versatile, but he's not that versatile. And God willing, Zboril will stay in Providence.

 

[Mione134]

The plot thickens

 

[sarge88]

Is there anyone out there capable of healing Lauko immediately?

Murphy: Get Used To Grinding, Low-Scoring Bruins Games

Since the beginning of training camp, Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery hasn’t sugarcoated anything when discussing what the recipe for success was going to be for the 2023-24 Boston Bruins. “We want physical,” Montgomery said bluntly following the first day of camp. “We need to be a more...

[BergyWho37]

Thank goodness how does this guy get a contract ? Seriously what an insult to Steen and don’t give me bu but he can play center cause I’d argue he’s lucky to play in the AHL let alone the NHL imagine getting paid that much to do nothing brutal..

 

[goldnblack]

No.

He’s better off playing priority minutes in Providence over just traveling with the team.

No.

I just like your message format though.

Who would sit for Lohrei?

I mean… I know who I want to sit. But I’m doubting the coaching staff sees it the same way. And I hope he’s not up simply to sit most nights. And why risk losing Mitchell to waivers just to have a rookie on the ninth floor?

There’s a piece of information we’re missing or it just doesn’t make sense.

Gryz also left briefly a couple games ago, maybe he's banged up? But the issue is injuries don't really explain why they would send Mitchell down as well....
