I think Sweeney is going to be non committed on Rask. Its not like he can sign him now, knowing he is going to be out until Feb or longer

If both Swayman and Vladar truck along .. come Feb if Rask is ready to return. Sweeney has a golden nugget at the trade deadline (Vladar)

OR if Sweeney doesn't want to touch either of his young goalies, sign Rask as the 3rd goalie for the playoffs. Or tell Rask to look elsewhere.

There is also always a chance, Rask just retires. Just too much to deal with to recover

watch him re-sign Kuraly to 3 year pack with a tidy NMC

 

[Ratty]

If I were the GM I wouldn't sign Rask now, especially considering he'll miss at least half a season; even if he can be LTIRed. If he heals and wants to come back in Jan or Feb sign him then. He's already on record as wanting to play only for Boston. "This is our home..............". His $7m can go to a couple of UFAs such as Martinez or Oleksiak plus.

Rask has said he will only play for the B's so I assume he would get a NMC deal, so we cannot trade him.

The Kuraly's / Wagners / Kuhlman's / Ritchies all need to go.
The third and fourth lines need to be rebuilt.

 

[rocketdan9]

I like this. Neely calls a spade a spade

 

[rocketdan9]

The Kuraly's / Wagners / Kuhlman's / Ritchies all need to go.

Coyle will center the third. Lazar the fourth. This is the only certain things about these lines

Yes please send them off....I can't handle another year with any of them.

Wouldn't that be his job. Maybe the Jacobs should have the same plan

It sounds like they won't be signing any UFA's until after the expansion draft.

 

[sam60]

Wonder if Sweeney knows this applies to him too

 

[Drift]

Looking at the UFA LD, rough pickings lol

It's going to have to come from a trade. Oleksiak is the best of the LHD by a lot and he's middling. They can't be locking up a lot of cash in a guy like that with all the roster decisions they need to make the next two seasons to stop this team from wasting McAvoy and Pastrnak's prime years.

 

[Seidenbergy]

They REALLY need vaak to step up.

You mean Alec Martinez.

Wouldn't they have to protect anyone they signed before the expansion draft?

 

[burstnbloom]

Alec Martinez will be 34 yo in July, is not all that great, and being carried by his excellent partner. I would be terrified of giving him a multi-year deal. If they can get him for a 1 year contract, Im ambivalent about it but he's not really a difference maker.

Other avenue: Donny can identify Shea Theodores/Boychuk from AHL level

It is another avenue but wont be easy

Nick Holden looks good also

Not a bad life when a player has low responsibility

Still a better player than Oleksiak but both aren’t exactly what the Bruins should target

Going to be fun watching these idiots putting a lottery team on the ice next season. Thankfully it looks to be a very strong draft next year then I realized these two dumbasses may still be making decisions. We will probably be giving our first up to get rid of Coyle's remaining years

We cant be going into a rebuild with this staff could we?

 

[HumBucker]

rask seems to never know what the f*** he wants to do

he’s either shitting his pants and going home/sitting out, or has a torn hip and says “nah I’m good”

pro tip to coaching staff; lead.

Horrible take.
