GMs don't seem to want to use offer sheets, but a retaliatory $13M/yr offer for Quinn (or whatever) would be annoying. I would say let Quinn accept the 13M/yr offer, take the four 1st's and run, we have a pipeline already grooming a good amount to replace him, four 1st's fits Adams plan perfectly as the "longterm success strategy". 😀 Edited June 22, 2023 by Scottysabres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 From the Athletic's salary cap summer preview. We can only hope, right? 31. Boston Bruins 2023-24 salaries: $78,562,500 RFAs estimate: $6,439,000 LTIR candidates: None Dead money deals: None Notable unsigned UFAs: Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Dmitry Orlov, Tyler Bertuzzi, Garnet Hathaway, Nick Foligno, Tomas Nosek, Connor Clifton Problem contract: Derek Forbort Projected cap space: -$1,501,500 Is the number as ugly as you’d expected? Here, we’re anticipating an AAV of more than $4 million for RFA Jeremy Swayman and a new deal for Trent Frederic. Those would put the Bruins over the cap before figuring out what happens with their iconic first-line center and the guy who plays directly behind him. What Don Sweeney does to deal with this — or simply fill out a half-decent four lines — is anyone’s guess. What seems certain, though, is that paying more than $9 million combined for Swayman and Linus Ullmark isn’t a fit, and neither is carrying $3 million, bottom-pair defensemen. Just to confirm, after resigning Frederic and Swayman to fair deals, the Bruins should be about $1.5 million over the cap without Bergeron, Krejci, Orlov, Bertuzzi, Hathaway, Foligno, Nosek and Clifton.

I knew they had issues but that’s bad. They could sign Bergeron and Krejci and then let them have “surgeries” that will keep them out until April. It’s not like that hasn’t been done before.

Weave Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 That’s alot of turnover in Boston. Im wondering if a good GM could move alot of that roster out in exchange for decent 3rd line players to keep it expansion team level competitive?

nfreeman Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'd be pretty surprised if KA signed someone's RFA to an offer sheet. Offer sheets are still pretty rare, and he doesn't strike me as the wave-making type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Haven't seen the report personally, but according to wifey, the NHL won't have any specialty warmup sweaters this coming season. If correct, guess they decided the controversies over them aren't worth the extra money they bring in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Edmonton gave us the squeeze on Vanek? I still do. Probably marked the beginning of the eventual end. Wouldn't you enjoy doing that to Boston? I think you would.

I don't think the NHL's contributions to cancer research, or veterans' orgs, or to pride groups, or whatever really moved the needle.

Marvin Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 15 hours ago, Eleven said: Is it GM or coach or both? I think it is neither. As currently made up, the team has no young guys coming in who excite the current players while the existing team, like Winnipeg, could be stuck in mediocrity without a rebuild. If you are on the older side with only 1 or 2 years left, wouldn't you prefer to get moved to greener pastures. Question: I have read that the Western Canadian teams have directives from on high not to ever do a true rebuild. Given the loyalty and passion of the fanbases, that seems very short-sighted is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
