Boston Bruins Your roster changes / proposals IX

[chrisab123]

no thanks, rather hang onto Lysell, Lohrei and the 1st and not pay $10m to a guy we are not even sure if or when he gets back on the ice and if he does will he be the same player or not.

You do this deal for Eichel and don't think twice about it. Elite talent in a crap scenario.

 

[Bodit9]

So rumors are we pick up Coleman & Forbort? So the lineup would look like this:

Marchy-Bergy-Pasta
Hall-Krech-Smith
JDB-Coyle-Coleman
Freddy-Lazar-Wags
Stud/Blidh/Seny/Kuhlman

Gryz-Mac
Reilly-Carlo
Forbort-Cliffy
Zboril/UV

Swayman/Vladar

How's everyone feel about that?

If that was our roster our top 9 is right up there with the very best in the NHL. The D is solid but still missing that one other player that could bring it to the next level. Not worried about our goaltending, it will work itself out. Hopefully we can improve our 4th line.

 

[Drift]

if we are paying Coleman that much is he playing with hall and krejci? lol. those rumors terrify me.

Not great. It's better than last year, but if you really look at that bottom 6 and left side of the D it's not great.

IMO they need a trade for that left side - a real top 4 LD. Better than Reilly and Gryz.

 

[bp13]

So the lingering question for me remains JDB. Is there really a chance this guy is back again next season???

If so, color me shocked. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but it seemed clear Cassidy was done with him, and it also seemed clear he needed a change of scenery. Really surprised he's still around.

 

[8thRoundPick]

I expect a couple ho-hum signings today, I personally don't think we'll be signing Coleman - another team is going to overpay, and I just don't think it will be us.

 

[SPV]

I wouldn't give Coleman anymore than Smith. If it's more than that, I hope we stay away.

I'll be fine with Krejci, Forbort or McCabe, and whatever goalie they land on. I'd like to see them get a feisty fourth liner like Cedric Paquette too

I like the top 9 except for JDB. Just don't think he's very good.

I would like to see Gryz upgraded to Ekholm & JDB upgraded to Saad or someone similar.

 

[CharaBadSenyshynGawd]

I can’t shake the feeling that Tarasenko ends up here.

 

[TCB]

I don't see the Bruins being very active at all, money wise. Sweeney learned his lesson on Backes/Belesky deals.

I can see him adding 1 or 2, 3rd - 4th liners and/or, 1 or 2, 5-6 defenseman, also a vet goalie.

Then ill be waiting for @bcbruin1 significant move that is incoming

If he were 100% healthy, yes, but not at the moment, who knows when he will play again.

With Ritchie not coming back, it seems apparent Jake DeBust is coming back.

That feeling is just gas. Fart and let it out.

Yep.

 

[sarge88]

I like Coleman but 6x5 sounds like Backes all over again

I'd rather 3.5 x 7 ----- 5 years from now you can find ways to dump/eat 3.5. A lot harder to do at 6.

(not saying I'd do 3.5 x 7 --- just more palatable)

 

[TCB]

I

and for how long

 

[Silva]

Go get Palmieri and Coleman. And trade debrusk

 

[bbfan419]

If it came down to Coleman or Palmeiri around the same aav, I take KP over Coleman.

 

[bbfan419]

and for how long

Exactly, his contract could be an albatross down the road. I like Eichel, he is a very good player, but still don't value him at $10m, IMHO he is in the next tier below the likes of MacKinnon, McDavid, Draisaitl and Barkov etc.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Carter Verhaeghe just re-signed with the Panthers 4x4

You bet that Coleman gets 5 million per. Guaranteed

Not sure I understand this.

Verhaeghe out-produced Coleman last season in fewer games and on the Panthers top line.

Why does that make Coleman worth more?

 

[sarge88]

Them "Suter at 4 years is too much for his age and remaining talent."

Me "Yeah maybe you are right."

Them "we can sign Coleman and Forbert to 5 year deals instead!"

Me "uhhhh.. Can I change my first answer?"

Forbort is 29 --- so I'm okay with 5 years for a defenseman -- depending on the dollars, of course.

A physical forward, on the other hand is a different story at that age.

Just LTIR him like Tampa does for everyone.

You maybe right
But he has to get a LD
They can’t go into the season with basically the same defense

 

[BMC]

I know , but that is what happens with successful PO teams.
