Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion VII

[Gee Wally]

 

[Tbaybruin]

Please only trade our 2005 first and top young guys for a legit #1 C Who is 25-26 or younger if available.

 

[TobanWest]

I'm not as high on Lohrei as other Bruins fans are so I'd happily do 2025 first + Lohrei for Chychrun but I'm not sure Ottawa would say yes to that package.

This must be a troll bot?! Throw in Ullmark for a 7th!

 

[Hookslide]

Alright, should we talk Chychrun again?

If price was similar would you prefer him over Hanifin?

Or are you on team Lorhei as top 4D right now?

Chychrun or Hanifanor both ,I am greedy , with age difference not being that much between them and Loheri it is a no brainer, even if it means moving Loheri to get it done.

This must be a troll bot?! Throw in Ullmark for a 7th!

no a 6th,I am holding out.......hahaha

 

[goldnblack]

I see a lot of you haven't watched more than a few minutes of Chychrun this year.

Carry on

 

[SwayHeyKid]

I love trade season. For some, there is never one guy that's good enough to come play for the Bruins.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

He'd be a better pickup than Bertuzzi was last year IMO.

Vatrano -- Zacha -- Pasta

Marchand -- Coyle -- DeBrusk

JVR -- Poitras -- Frederic

Heinen -- Beecher -- Geekie

False. Why when people become ex Bruins do people say stuff like this? He was 4-12-16 in 21 regular season games and 5-5-10 to lead the Bruins in scoring in the play-offs.

Yeah, I don't get the meme that Bertuzzi wasn't good for us. He was last on the list of why the Bruins checked out in the first round.

 

[NDiesel]

I mean if we're going to rip on Gryz every playoff for turning the puck over in our own zone, I think it's fair to complain about that aspect of Bertuzzis game. Never saw so many blind passes to the middle of the ice inside of our own blue line before that series...

It's clearly only due to the fact he's no longer a Bruin. It's a weird mindset

The majority of the team really seemed to have forgotten how to play hockey,I mean an aggressive physical forcheck is pretty much the norm for the playoffs,but it was like the Bruins had never heard or seen it before .

Another Mandela effect. He had 7. Fourth on the team. Also second in take aways Marchand had 13 including the two lazy plays that lost games 5 and 7 in OT

I don't really trust takeaway numbers, but additionally:

1. Not every turnover is the same. Bert had some really really bad ones inside of our own blue line.

2. Some of those blind passes narrowly went to our guy or went across the ice and avoided their guys - doesn't mean it wasn't a bad play still.

I'm not saying he was the worst player ever, but he made some pretty poor decisions in our own end

When Gryz is a PPG+ in the playoffs, I'll excuse his turnovers. Hell, if he gets to .5 PPG in the playoffs, I'll cut him some slack.

 

[The don godfather]

Get mojo for a 5th and put him with Coyle. Voila instant magic.

 

[wintersej]

I see a lot of you haven't watched more than a few minutes of Chychrun this year.

Carry on

I dunno, tire fire teams make some players look worse than they are (like Hampus Lindholm on the Ducks) and some make them look better than they are (like Matt Stajan on the Leafs). I don't think 39 games this season changes who he is. A big body that can score goals and put up points that has only played on bad defensive teams... so who knows on the end of the ice.

 

[PB37]

Settle down. I was fine with what Bertuzzi did for us, although the gaffes were huge. I think Vatrano would be better because he's a more natural goal scorer, which is what this team needs. Vatrano also has a little bit more grit to his game than Bertuzzi.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

I'm not as high on Lohrei as other Bruins fans are so I'd happily do 2025 first + Lohrei for Chychrun but I'm not sure Ottawa would say yes to that package.

Chychurn is not worth a first round pick now and never was, very overrated.

Not the worst player ever but could be the most overrated by Sweeny and some people on this board. I always said he was an OK depth D, nothing more, this year his is struggling to be even that.

Bertuzzi is a forward.

I like both players, both are gritty, Bertuzzi more of a pass first guy, Vatrano more of a shoot first. Vatrano would be a nice upgrade back here.

And you're free to do so

 

[jgatie]

And you're free to do so

I'm not too worried about having to do so.

 

[Alicat]

And the yearly overrating of Chychrun has begun, right on schedule….

He's the modern day Thomas Vanek

 

[Alicat]

Ryder, Halak and a second for Sidney Crosby

I don't want them trading multiple assets for an expiring contract unless they can re-sign the player and it fills a legitimate need.

I want to see deals with Swayman and to a lesser extent,JVR get done.
