Is there such things as Shootout specialists who are forth liners coz this team needs a couple of them. They suck at them.

Something tells me anyone like that would automatically start to suck at shootouts the second they got here. Wagner had a nice move yesterday.

I think this organization overvalues the 4th liners big time. What about trading 2 of Wagner/Kuraly/Nordy for a solid middle 6 winger and maybe throwing in a pick/prospect?

I know trade proposals that make sense to the other team aren't welcome in this thread but thats the type of deal you could make with a contender that makes both teams better.

What team does your proposal make sense to? What contender is looking to give up a solid middle 6 winger?

i guess if they had a legit 3rd liner stuck behind 3 other guys on the wing, AND had 1 or 2 absolute scrubs as the other 4th liners. The 2 guys we send them are enough of an upgrade over they're 11th and 12th guys to make up for the slight down-grade to their 3rd line.

Sounds like a 2 dimes for a quarter kind of arrangement to me though

Don't you mean "mismanagement of the salary cap"? Do we have a solution yet for the 2nd line RW? I'm on a forum to discuss hockey. I don't need you just trying to argue with me with your "I'm superior attitude", but thanks anyway.

you’re the one complaining about them not making deals. They basically can’t right now, again, due to the salary cap. It is what it is

It’s not like they haven’t tried to address that hole over that 3 year span either. Nash and Johansson are 2nd line talents. Nash got hurt, that sucked. Mojo showed awesome chemistry with Coyle so he got partnered with him

and the Bruins have about 10 mil of dead space with Backes and the buyouts/retention.
I really wish Sweeney would have given up a bundle to get rid of Backes this summer. We would have then signed Johansson and been on our way. He knew #90 fit in and there was little risk in a two year deal. Now we have to give up asserts and we don’t know if they will fit in

The Bruins have too many cap and injury uncertainties right now to make a significant trade, IMO, but in the meantime:

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
DeBrusk-Krejci-Kuhlman
Bjork-Coyle-Senyshyn
Heinen-Kuraly-Wagner

Time to cut bait with Ritchie and keep Backes and Lindholm as depth players where they belong.

Maybe for the short-term, but I can’t see a line-up with Bjork, Senyshyn, and Kuhlman in the Top 9 contending for a Stanley Cup. That lineup looks like a first- or second-round playoff exit.

yeah and he got one last year, just like he got Rick Nash prior to that too


You see, there is this thing called a “salary cap” that they have to deal with first
Johansson spent most of the playoffs on the 3rd line. The Bruins were alternating between Backes and Kuhlman on Krejci's wing by the finals.

Sweeney also let Johansson walk.

so do you really wanna commit to the argument that he fixed the 2RW problem last year?

I think he addressed it and then mojo showed unbelievable chemistry with Coyle so they played him with Coyle. And you know what? They were monsters. They played like a 2nd line.

And yes, you see, he let him walk because of this thing called a “Salary cap”....

so Sweeney gets credit for getting a 2nd line RW (which he didn't) and gets a pass for losing the guy he acquired do to the lack of cap space that he himself created?

Mojo is a more productive player than most people proposed here lol

he addressed the secondary firepower last year. He addressed it prior to that with rick Nash as a rental. He’s probably going to address it at the deadline this year once the cap gets figured out with the LTIR situations. They lost because the first line didn’t show up. That’s it. Not much to debate.


Btw it’s tough to be a good team for a long time and not be up against the cap. Not every move is going to be perfect. So if you want to bash Sweeney be my guest. I think he’s done a good job

I know secondary scoring is the main issue but I think a little tinker to the backend could help as well.

Would anyone do

Ron Hainsey 20% retained (provided he will come here)


For

Moore chelarik

We get a solid RD who plays tough to compliment Gryz.

Chara Mac
Krug Carlo
Gryz Hainsey

Clifton and kamp waiting for the inevitable injury to happen.

Ottawa gets a cost controlled vet for 3 more years and a IMO a NHL ready forward who needs a change of scenery and deserves one.

Hainsey is 85 years old, and the B's don't have any NHL level RHD's in the system

Oh my God..

So anything critical and we're just "bashing Sweeney" and we don't think he's done a good job?

Good lord.

If he wanted him he would’ve kept him regardless of the cap, somebody else would’ve been shipped out. Who I don’t know. If he was a priority he stays.

well when you’re implying he can’t do a move because he’s hamstrung himself I think that’s a bit misleading considering he’s built an elite team and elite teams cost money


He’s also getting bashed for not adding secondary firepower when he has. Again, that Coyle-Mojo line played like a 2nd line. They were monsters. They got Nash before that. They’ll probably get somebody in a month and a half. Give it time, he addresses the needs


Not sure where your outrage is coming from

No. We're saying he's failed to address the hole on Krejci's right. YOU said he DID address it.

Which one of us is right?

not his fault Mojo played better with Coyle and then that line performed as pretty much their #1 line for the back half of the playoffs. He’s a 2nd line talent. He added the firepower. They had him with Krejci for a bit iirc then they moved him with Coyle and had a legit 2nd line (just because there was no Krejci on it doesn’t mean they didn’t perform like one)

do you think they lost last year because Sweeney didn’t address secondary scoring, or do you think they lost because their 3 best forwards no showed the cup?


And I’ll say this again- if they went and got Johansson right now for the 2nd line what do you think the reaction would be here? I’d wager it would be mostly very positive
