Boston Bruins 2023 Off-Season CAP, Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk IV

20 what, games??

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

 

[The don godfather]

Having the best goaltending tandem next year is a luxury most teams would love. Keep ullmark and get rid of other garbage Reilly for one.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

You guys, I think we might suck next year

I heard this same nonsense last year, I'm confident that when the season starts that this will be a playoff team. As long as we make the playoffs we can't do any worse then this year's juggernaut team come post-season time.

Did expect Sweeney to do something tonight.

Trade Ullmark and use that cap space to bolster either our D or forward group. Hopefully they will also buy out Forbert and Reilly and trade Gryz.

Of course they could get swept out instead of blowing a 3-1 lead, wait I take that back

Time will tell my friend. 20 fights?? 20 assists? 20 goals? Pressure free Lucic at league min I have zero issues with… alternative is Greer?? Come on.

I'm the camp to keep ullmark he ain't expensive at 5 million. Hes a vezina trophy winner . Sway and ullmark dynamic duo keeps us in the thick of things.

I just think it’s wild to expect 20 goals from a 4th liner. Especially Lucic.

Or he thinks it’s country club time like the rest did in the playoffs .

While I don’t mind Lucic I expect him to just bang a few bodies and that’s about it. Though when you are trying to give your young prospects a chance blocking them out of the lower lines is not helpful

 

[quietbruinfan]

I lean heavily towards keeping Ullmark either way, but the chain of events from the playoffs onward, and tonight's rumor have me convinced they will move him. Wait for the one team without a starter. If all else fails, you keep him.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

At least the expectations will be much lower regardless of how we blow it !!

 

[BergyWho37]

Watching the Sportsnet channel wished they’d post some of the names still left that are in the mixed to be picked in the 1st rnd

With the roster hits we are taking this year goaltending is the one luxury we have that can be used to bolster the roster. Furthermore Ullmark is a playoff dud 2 years running.

The bullshit Pittsburgh rumor that didn’t happen?

You can say a lot of things about Lucic but I don’t think you can ever question his effort. There are worse guys in the league young players could learn from

Marchand-Zacha-Pastrnak

Pittsburgh probably knew better than to fall for the Bruins bait.

Buyout Forbort and Reilly for starters, ok?

Dom may have posted something I misunderstood (or got the dates wrong)

Something about a buyout needing to be more than 4.5 after a specific date, or someone please correct/complete this statement for me.

Brassard I love it .

There are plenty of other vets they can learn from. Marchand being one, wish more players had his competitive edge. I just think when you are trying to break in young players, again someone like Marchy started on the fourth line, its good to leave space on the lower lines for them.

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

I just think it’s wild to expect 20 goals from a 4th liner. Especially Lucic.

Not just wild completely bonkers. I don’t think a lot fans on here are ready for what’s coming this following season. The circumstances are completely different. And it’s time people start to realize regression is inevitable.

 

[HustleB]

Trade Ullmark and use that cap space to bolster either our D or forward group. Hopefully they will also buy out Forbert and Reilly and trade Gryz.

I don’t believe either Forbort or Reilly qualify for the second buyout. The second buyout had a min salary of 4.6 million I believe. I do not believe we have a viable candidate for the 2nd buyou which I believe is also conditional.

 

[Johnny4778]

Quentin Burns probably a 3rd pick ish is gonna make NHL. Went to school with his dad and mom and my cousin has helped train him. Kid is a beast and tons of work ethic and drive.

20 GP

we will see.
