don sweeney back

Équipe: 2022-23 Bruins de Boston

Date de création initiale: 29 juin 2022

Publié: 29 juin 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

retool (not a complete rebuild - although this starts that process nonetheless) of the bruins roster. main focus is keeping the main core intact and then pretty much completely overhauling everything that isnt the top lines of the team.

roster notes:
- i dont buy the rumors that pasta wants out bc of sweeney. im sure hes not popular with the players to an extent but im more sure that management will make sure that pasta remains an untouchable for the team's future
> sub-note: i can however (and believe that this should be the case depending on how the team is doing by that point) see marchand moved (to a team thats desperate to make a cup push) at the deadline.
- i also dont buy the whole bringing krejci back thing personally but i dont think it would make sense to regardless unless we go more in the direction of pushing for the cup (wishful thinking being that we're likely hiring
- im personally a believer in just keeping debrusk at this point, especially moving in this direction
- hall is definitely a question mark but id say it'd be better to keep him around for at least the short term and worry about him later
- bergy's deal i can see being cheaper and incentivized heavily if this really is his last (😖)
- trocheck to boston is the most realistic imo of those "higher end" FA forwards
- im sure cbj will try to match boqvist and its a bit of an undershot for kulak. however with gryz and mcavoy out for the first ~quarter of the season i'd like to see sweeney be aggressive with UFA/RFA defenders (knowing him however this will actually be incentive to keep a guys like forbort and josh brown around despite how brutal their pricetags are)
- kessel on a 1 year deal to get some production in the bottom 6 and get to the cap floor

the bruins are a very weird team to build
