GDT: NHL/BRUINS - FREE AGENT FRENZY - JULY 1st

[bruinmann77]

i like Ferland or lee that be a good get for the bruin

 

[JOKER 192]

Not totally sold on Carlo. Would definitely consider him part of deal for legit 2nd line winger.

Wow, that's brutal

 

[N o o d l e s]

This is starting to feel like the night Chia made me wait all night to trade two seconds to get Connoly.

I tried to give ya a warning in the first post

 

[Salem13]

Awful take, but it's not surprising

FWIW, here are some of the Evolving Wild site's contract projections:

• Charlie McAvoy - 6yrs, ~$7.1M AAV
• Brandon Carlo - 6yrs, ~$4.2M
  
• Danton Heinen - 2yrs, ~$2.8M
  
• Noel Acciari - 2 yrs, ~$1.2M
  
• Peter Cehlarik - 2yrs; ~$760k

Some other remaining notables:

• Mikko Rantanen - 8yrs; ~$10.0M
  
• Sebatstian Aho - 8yrs; ~$9.9M
  
• Mitch Marner - 8yrs; ~$9.6M
• Brayden Point - 5yrs; ~$8.0M
• Patrik Laine - 7yrs; ~$7.1M
• Zach Werenski - 7yrs; ~$6.9M
• Anders Lee - 7yrs; ~$6.5M
• Gustav Nyquist - 6yrs; ~$5.7M
• Wayne Simmonds - 5yrs; ~$4.9M
• Marcus Johansson - 4yrs; ~$4.6M
• Ryan Dzingel - 4yrs; ~$4.3M
• Micheal Ferland - 4yrs; ~$4.1M
• Derick Brassard - 3yrs; ~$4.0M
• Alex Chiasson - 3yrs; ~$3.1M
• Brandon Tanev - 4yrs; ~$2.7M
• Ryan Donato - 2yrs; ~$1.7M
• Jason Spezza - 1yr; ~$1.7M
• Jesse Puljujarvi - 2yrs; ~$1.3M
• Garnet Hathaway - 3yrs; ~$~1.3M

I'm really hoping for Ferland.

He can play left or right wing, he can pass, steals pucks, wins battles, great net front presence... Was only 26 last year, put up back to back 40 point seasons despite an unusually low shooting pct. He has really strong possession metrics. Kills penalties, plays on the power play, has good speed, throws game changing hits and he'd feed a guy like Perron his lunch for getting in Rask's face.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

I think Sweeney will try to fix our second line via trade. We have at least 10 NHL ready dman so he has to trade at least 2, imo.

Btw, Lee would be nice, but even trading Backes and Miller I don't think we would have enough money.

Thanks for posting this!

I wouldn't hesitate a second to add Heinen's money to that 7.1 for Laine and slide that offer sheet across the table. 9.9 million for Laine may seem high (and it is) but even giving him 1.5 more than that (8.6) and then the 1.3 to Puljujarvi seem like 9.9 spent well on July 1st.

Sell me please (I want to buy in) as to why he isn't Beleskey 2.o. Everything I am hearing is exactly what Bruins fans were sold on Beleskey so I am dreading the signing.

Someone will overpay and hopefully not us. I don't want another Beleskey.

I'd happily do that Ferland deal

 

[BBB24]

TSN reports that Duchene likely to sign with Preds for $8m per year, can't see why the Bruins would not sign him for that and then trade Krejci for picks or to fill another hole.

Because Krejci is a better player and cheaper, pretty simple.

 

[McGarnagle]

6@$4.2 for Carlo would be the absolute best value contract in the league.

 

[McGarnagle]

And I'd rather give Mojo that projected contract than Ferland.

Ferland would be such a Chiarelli move to make.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Sell me please (I want to buy in) as to why he isn't Beleskey 2.o. Everything I am hearing is exactly what Bruins fans were sold on Beleskey so I am dreading the signing.

Because they are different people/players.

Matt Lashoff had most everybody here sold, that doesn't mean you don't draft big, skilled puck-moving defenseman when they become available.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Yup. Chia always tried to at least give Krejci legitime NHL wingers. Crazy theology, I know.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

I would love to see Adam McQuaid back here on a short-term, low money deal. Unfortunately, his role wouldn't be big enough here anymore --but damn he would have been great to have had back there against those big, cheap St Louis forwards. McQuaid hit like a truck when he was angry.
