I had a hard time finding it, but on the bottom of the page in CapFriendly, you can see they account for Bonus Overage. This is just above the Non-Roster Player List.

I would like to see Nylander and Pasta on a line. I'm guessing a 3 way trade would need to take place. They are buddies. The buddy thing works?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Don't forget the Lucic Krejci Spooner line was dominant before sure thing concussion Nash arrived on the scene.


Too small and fast for your liking....


Yikes Toronto is in trouble...Better act fast.

Nylander wants to get paid. Hes looking at Marner and Matthews and saying he plays just as well and wants the money.

The Kessel-Nylander-Pastrnak line

It's me being a complete lunatic, but people who capitalize the first letter of every word deserve jail time.

 

[yazmybaby]

Let go shopping. Hoping something happens in the next 2-3 days. If we move Grizz out we have around 17 million to play with.

Technically, titles are supposed to be capitalized like that. IE: Books

[Dizzay]

I want Ullmark, Forbort, and Gryz all traded, I'm fine with rolling with Swayman and a vet back up or giving Bussi a real shot as the back up.

I know people get nervous with having Swayman as the guy but I'm more nervous with Coyle and Zacha as 1-2C's nevermind who's going to be 3C and 4C.

 

[rocketdan9]

Christian Fischer now ufa. Interest?

 

[Absurdity]

Christian Fischer now ufa. Interest?

If the acquisition isn't going to move the needle, would rather the Bruins go with the kids in Providence.

 

[ON3M4N]

Christian Fischer isn't being given a QO from Arizona. He's a guy I wanted the Bruins to add at the TDL. Right shot RW, good size at 6'2/212lb, can play the PK and throw the body. Coming off a 27pt season and only 26yr old. He'd be a good 3rd liner.

Frederic - Coyle - Fischer

I don't hate that as a 3rd line, honestly.

Yeah, but I didn't do that, see?

Boy, some people.

Zacha - Bergeron - Coyle - ??

Almost definitely. The question is what happens if Zacha cannot win faceoffs or Bergeron is injured!

 

[quietbruinfan]

Starting to get a feel for what I think the Bruins want to do. My prediction is Nyquvist and Lucic. If they can trade a goalie, might go for ROR, or whomever the goalie can return. I still think Grz is gone.

Gryz got sat most of the playoffs. I think the bridge has been burned. Think, if Bruins can dump Gryz & Forbort, they could re-sign Orlov for that money.

 

[Bmessy]

Fischer is a UFA with Yotes not tendering. That'd be a nice bottom 6 add but not sure what he'd command

 

[quietbruinfan]

Ehhh, I think Orlov is out of our financial league no matter what. Buffalo I say. I am interested to see if Ullmark/Swayman and Grz can return someone good.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Id rather play the kids for people outside the top 6

 

[Dr Quincy]

If there isn't any youngish top centers available or atleast any with top center potential(which I doubt they can outbid others for those types anyways) this has to be just a kick back and see what happens type of year.

If you can pick up someone decent on a short term deal fine go ahead but the real focus should be on the 24-25 season. Hopefully no cap penalties besides the Reilly buyout,more contracts coming off the books and an assumed fairly significant cap increase.

Not sure what the UFA class looks like next year but it can't be any worse than this year. If the season isn't going well Grizz and Forbort can easily be traded at the deadline. Let Bertuzzi and the others walk and just go with what you have. I'm perfectly fine with a down year.

If you look at "young Centers" with potential who have been traded in the last couple years you have Krebs (part of Eichel deal), Dach(traded for 13th overall)... Newhook maybe (not sure he's a C really) moved for a late very late first and an early 2nd.

Young centers don't become available often. Usually it's because they've somewhat underachieved compared to expectationts (Newhook and Dach) or in a deal for a franchise level player (Krebs).

If the acquisition isn't going to move the needle, would rather the Bruins go with the kids in Providence.

Fisher wouldn't move a needle if it was on a turntable.

Coyle and Zacha.
Bruins can double shift them.
No money for new top 6 centers?
No problem.
If they have a good game we can gloat how smart of us. If they have not so good game we can hype them at centering 3rd and 4th line. If they completely suck we get the top 10 draft pick.
Win Win Win
