Speculation: Who goes in Boston to get Mac and Carlo signed?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So looking at cap fri the Bruins have over 7 million in cap space but they still have Charlie Mac and Carlo to sign, that 7 million may not get Mac signed let alone both of them so the question is how do they clear the necessary cap space?



Who gets moved to keep them?

Backes is the most obvious name. Tough guy to move tho.

Backes with heavy retention for future considerations

That's the ideal candidate but with that extra year I'm not sure that happens

Wont work, T.O couldn't move Marleau and Backes has major injury concerns.

Only works if its dump for dump (you can trade Backes for someone with a lower AAV but slightly longer term). That or pay someone to take him off your hands.

That extra year and only an 8 team trade he's ideal but that's tough.

BOS would need to add a decent pick or prospect as well I guess. Will be interesting to see how they make those two RFA deals work with limited cap space.

 

[Mickey Marner]

7.29 with a 23 man roster. 8.815 if they send down Kampfer and Clifton.

I'm not going to lie I suspect Boston is parting with a 2020 1st or top prospect especially with that extra year

 

[GAGLine]

Boston has about 7.3 mil in space with 14 forwards, 7 dmen and 2 goalies. Send Kampfer, Clifton and Nordstrom to the AHL. Saves them another 2.5 mil. With McAvoy and Carlo signed, that gives them 13 forwards, 7 dmen and 2 goalies.

They aren't moving any big contracts at this point.

Still not likely enough

 

[jaric1862]

2 bridge deals

9.8 million isn't getting both signed

Only if you assume McAvoy is getting a long term deal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Which I do he's a core piece you want to lock those down.

 

[Legion34]

Only if you assume McAvoy is getting a long term deal.

What do you think he gets on a bridge?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

2 bridge deals

Not likely bridge deals don't really exist anymore

 

[GAGLine]

What do you think he gets on a bridge?

5 mil x 2? Not sure really.

Is there any chance that Backes goes to LTIR? How injured is he? I have to believe that Boston believes they have the cap space they need. It's too late in the summer to be moving big contract. Very few teams have any cap space.

 

[BostonBob]

Boston fans are hoping that Backes will eventually go on the LTIR list. Right now Boston has about $7.3 million in available cap space but if Backes go on the LTIR list that would give them $13.3 million in cap space which is more than enough to sign McAvoy and Carlo.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm wondering if it's Krejci he'd be easier to move than Backes

 

[BinCookin]

My first thought was sell Backes to Detroit for your 2020 1st. Even then, im not sure we want that first that badly...

 

[Setec Astronomy]

Surprised Carlo hasn’t gotten an offer sheet, or maybe he has, but doesn’t want to sign it.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

My first thought was sell Backes to Detroit for your 2020 1st. Even then, im not sure we want that first that badly...

I'd rather take a good C/D prospect(s) at this stage of our rebuild, or a decent young upcoming player.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Backes is going on LTIR.

 

[LMFAO]

Im guessing McAvoy getz 2 x 6M and Carlo around 3m
