THE GOOD:

Kyle Okposo signing. I am on that train. I really want this guy in black and gold. Yes yes, I know the Bruins desperately need to fill their defensive holes, but other than Demers, I don't see a guy on the market who will help with that. That said, The Bruins desperately need a top line RW and Okposo fits the billing to a "T". Krejci has always played best with wingers who play a heavier style and he does that. Now is he Lucic? Nope. But he does remind me a little of Nathan Horton (pre injuries) and I feel would be a strong addition to the Bruins forward core. If you can get him at that number; 5x6 you do it. I'd go with him over Loui (who they will need to replace).

The cap space for NEXT SEASON. You left around 4+ million (since they won't carry 2 extra D and 2 extra forwards) and then taking into account Chara's 3 million coming off, 4.5 from Marchand (who will get an increase).

Dumba and Rychel.... I really like both acquisitions and feel they are the types of moves the Bruins need. Now I know Rychel hasn't been amazing at the NHL level, but he has around 35 total NHL games and a PPG average of 0.32, it's not terrible (those are respectable 3rd line numbers) and there is room to grow. He has requested a trade out of CBJ in the past so if you can get him, I'm all for it. Versatile as well (can play L/R wing). Dumba has the top 4 upside, right handed shot and would be a great guy going forward with.

I'd love a Vatrano -- CENTERMAN -- Rychel third line combination. I left Gagner out b/c he wouldn't be my first choice. I think those two on the wings would be solid though. Both play with intensity, Rychel is the heavy style on the line to get in there, Vatrano is the pure scorer. Give them a "C" who is a pass first type, and you have a solid 3rd line that could be a matchup issue for some teams. Plus a lot of potential to grow there.

The Seidenberg (and Hayes) contracts off the books. Nothing else needs to be said about that. lol

THE NOT SO GOOD

Dumba is going to cost a hell of a lot more than Spooner and a 2nd (and yes I left out Mr. Useless, Jimmy Hayes for a reason). The CBJ deal will cost more than that as well, and I'd stay away from Johnson.

I don't like signing Gagner, Connolly, and kevan miller to more than 1 year. Those are players that will add up on the cap. I know you saved some money for next season, but i'd rather go into next season with the extra 4.5 million (around what you have tied up in those players) than without it. Marchand and Pastrnak are priorities. You can always bring those players back again if you have room, liked how they played, etc. I don't see any of them playing to a level where they earn multi-year big money contracts.

Don't mind Dumba, Rychel and Okopso. Don't like Gagner or Johnson. MIN will need more for that trade to happen, CLB would too. You could probably get Rychel on his own, playing Johnson third pair at $4.3 is expensive. I'd rather have Backes then Okopso, he plays a tougher game and center and RW and plays PK. Having CMiller and Dumba are redundant.
