An aggressive Retool; The winning formula hasn't changed over the past 10 years there tends to be a common trend, being hard to play against in all areas of the ice. Tampa hasn't gotten enough credit for being as dominant physically as they are. This was an attempt to try and become harder to play against and maintain the youth, and financial stability. Before the armchair GM forum goes nuts; I firmly believe that a shake up is needed in a few aspects of this Bruins team. Defending harder, and timely scoring. There were a couple trades that were tough to make however I think they are necessary to move forward with the trajectory of this team.

The first few trades are creating space by moving replaceable players on the ice, I was hesitant to move Foligno, however I think that there is an attraction to Columbus with Nick's time there and the youth of that team needing a veteran in that room. Reilly, Clifton, and Forbort have been good but also replaceable with Gudbransson (grittier) and Zboril who was great before his injury, Reilly has been scratched and fallen out of favor, but also has real value as a PMD, Cassidy has seemed to bury him, Boston Recoops a pick and sheds Salary.
The tougher moves, Grzelcyk and Debrusk; Grizz has been good, and an awesome hometown story, unfortunately over the past three years of Boston's postseason runs has been invisible, and a liability defensively in many aspects of the game with decision making and so on, he is an extremely attractive piece to a team like AZ with youth needing a younger vet in the league and have many many expendable picks to maintain some interest in attendance and moving forward. Leddy is a very comparable player at a bit of a cheaper price, by the time his deal is up you hope that Zboril/Ahcan/Prospect have exceled and are ready for a top 4 role, which gives them flexibility in the mean time, at comparable scoring rate, and might be a better than Gryz. DeBrusk, Studnicka, 2nd for Boeser was a deal I think that will really benefit all parties, most importantly for Brock as he is enduring an extremely challenging year off the ice with the decreasing health of his dad, and the need for a change. Jake is in a similar position with his request to be moved, he has been an advocate speaking out for mental health while also being a tremendous teammate, and producing, Boeser has more value in the terms of play, that is why Boston Adds the forgotten man Jack Studnicka, and a high 2nd rounder for the term of Boeser, and adding an actual RW sniper that does have a little bit of bite to his game while gaining Boston Protection if Pasta moves on as a UFA leaving Boston with Boeser and Lysell (if he keeps trending up)

Signings: Deslauries is exactly the type of grit they have been missing since Milan Lucic left town, he won't produce nearly what Looch did but he will be a feared opponent and play physically and chip in a bit offensively and hopefully show Freddy the ropes.
