Just find some quality stop gaps who help take us from futile to respectable and provide some mentorship.

Graves will be a Duck IMO. Makes a lot of sense to put him with Drysdale the next 3 seasons.

Also look for Verbeek to sign a right shooting Vatrano type. Not sure who exactly is out there but I’m sure there’s someone

Hoping for a good free agency, I then am driving out to Long Island for a graduation party, probably will be a 2 hour drive, depending on traffic, I hate the LIE, lol.

 

[Arthuros]

Oh boy, can't wait to not hear about any significant signings until tomorrow.

I don’t think that exists on the FA market this year, as much as I’d like that as well. Maybe Evan Rodrigues, but tough to not see him be coveted as a center, just as I think JT Compher’s gonna blow some minds today. Or maybe we’re the next stop for Phil Kessel, which I don’t think I’d like despite loving the player. Right shot forward market is incredibly barren this year.

That sucks. We’re pretty thin on right shots outside of Terry and Strome up front

I wouldn’t hate Rodriguez at all depending on price obviously

 

[Quack Shot]

James Neal anyone?

Nevermind: didn’t realize he dropped off that much

Duchene is who I was thinking of. I blame lack of sleep

I'm not sure if Rodrigues is more of a center or a winger who can play center at this point. But I like that he brings three traits to the table that we can definitely use - speed, dependability and versatility. For something similar to a Vatrano contract, I'm all for it.

 

[Vaakou]

We should stay in the mix for Debrincat and Duchene would be my UFA target. Offer Kane a rich 1 year deal for them kids.

 

[Vaakou]

Any good defenceman available we should target?

 

[anezthes]

I'll take two NHL defensemen, Mr Verbeek. Thanks!

Fowler - x
x - Drysdale
LaCombe - Helleson

Speculation that we’re in on Bertuzzi & Gudas.

Bruins, UFA, Trade Chatter: Bertuzzi, Reilly, Hanifin

Not that it’s a secret, but don’t expect the Boston Bruins to be major players in NHL free agency when it opens on Saturday at noon. Instead, the Boston Bruins will go bargain basement shopping and likely use the NHL trade market to form their roster for the 2023-24 season. The Boston Bruins...

My wish list is
Graves to fill in next to drysdale

Not a lot of options for dmen to slot next to fowler… not sure we can afford or be of much interest to the gudas/mayfield/soucy types.

I think we’re going to have to target that dmen via trade…. At this rate I don’t think Tyler myers is the worst option.

I think something like
Myers + beauvillier/garland + 1st(lottery protection
For
Whatever from us

Forwards you have
Zegras terry mctavish Beauvillier Henrique vatrano strome and carlsson you can use in top 9.

Defense id start with
Fowler helleson
Graves drysdale
Lacombe myers
And if helleson can’t handle it, myers fills in.


After that you look for a legit heavy weight for the bottom 6…. And prob a vet dmen that can play both sides

 

[Vaakou]

What will Bertuzzi demand?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

What will Bertuzzi demand?

Someone’s gunna give him over 7 I imagine. I’d love to get him but I think he’ll be over priced today

“There has been chatter since Thursday that the Bruins and the Bertuzzi camp had agreed on a $6M AAV, but that the Bruins offered four years on the term and Bertuzzi wants six, maybe even seven.”

That ll make the Zegras/Terry contracts palatable

Mine is like that too. However, my wifes is fine although she barely uses twitter and is on an outdated version. On FA day of course this happens lol
