Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion VII

My leaf co worker just asked if I think the Bruins would trade Gryz to Toronto for a retained Bert...

They can't .. There is no way they could make the money work without a significant other move etc

My gut feeling is that I don't think they're gonna want to go into next season with Lysell, Merk, and Poitras all in the top 9, especially not if Beecher is at 4C and Lohrei is in the top 4 with no safety net behind him. Too much youth for a team that is trying to compete.

Yeah I don't see it, especially if you are talking about Merk playing a position he has not shown he can play in the pros.

I'd drive him to the airport myself.

That would surely fix Toronto’s defensive issues, it’s a tough call but yes please in a millisecond

What kind of terrible defensive issues does Toronto have if Gryz is a fix for them? If they are looking for a player who plays scared and slows up on a puck in the corner to let someone else get it due to fear of being hit, then we have just what they’re looking for.

I can’t imagine they’d cut bait a half season into that deal. Terrible asset management and far too quick.

But what the hell is going on there? I just assumed he was part of the Kings’ success this year. Helping drive it. Dude is on the third line.

I don’t think they’re on the buyout route. But they have to be shocked and disappointed. That’s an awful start.

DuBois seems like a malcontent wherever he goes.

Boone Jenner's contract with Columbus is over after this season. I'd like to see him in black and gold (not Pittsburgh, either). He has a solid 54% career FO winning percentage. His current annual cap hit is 3.75M.

Jenner has two more years

It was mostly sarcasm

But honestly looking at their d-group it might still be an upgrade hilariously enough

I’m glad to hear that their D is that bad.

I like the player a lot. It seems like he’s been around for 20 years. He has to be on he wrong side of thirty.

Aren’t we all. The more things change the more they stay the same lol

My bad.
Still think he would be a great addition.

Somehow only 30

I wouldn’t mind having him for 2 more years at 3.75 mill or whatever it is

I think your Leaf co-worker is jerking you around.

He must have been in the league at age nine. I’d gladly take him for two years at 3.75.

Boone Jenner is excellent and can play on my team any day.

I can’t imagine that the Jackets would let him go. Not without significant overpay. I know I sure as hell wouldn’t.

Pretty sure he’s their captain too so yeah very unlikely he’s available

Not to mention his cap hit being so low. I’ve wanted him in a Bruins jersey since watching him in the play a few games while in junior hockey years ago.

Agreed, wouldn't be surprised if they gave Poitras some time in Providence as well for a portion of next year....they definitely would have this year if they were able
