If we either have dipietro or bussi as a Back up, Boston WILL sign a good veteran AHL goalie that you can feal comfortable as the 3rd option.
Merkulov or Lysell will compete for that 3rd lw or rw, i want to develop a duo (hopefully lysell) that could turn as a second line caliber in 2-3 years, JD would help to teach and support them with his 200 foot game. JD is a veteran, he will cross the 500 games next season. The JD contract his my max contract.
Hronek trade is a fair trade yess they downgrade as a player but they get carlo on a good deal for 3 years. Only thing his is 10 team no trades, maybe he doesnt like Canada idk but maybe. They get Geekie to solidy their bottom 6.
Heinen play good with monty, sign Him for 3 years and maybe u can trade him after 2 year for a 2nd (best scenario). In this lineup yess he's put on the 4th, but heinen is the perfect player that will switch in line when a young guy (Lysell, Holtz and any guys actually) so he still gonna average 14-15 min average over the year. I Think to approach is conservative but crazy at same time because we don't trade for a real top6 forward, but i think we build a lineup perfectly balance for the 2 young guys can develop. They have a good completive foward debrusk with lysell and poitras, Holtz-Zacha-Pasta will be a full offensive line put they have the power to generate a crazy amount of goals (holtz with 30-35-65, Zacha with 25-60-85 and Pasta 55-70- 135) (BEST SCENARIO) and the 2nd marchy-coyle-frederic really looked good, they can manipulate a game all by themself sometimes. 3rd line with debrusk-poitras-Lysell, this line will be able to generate pressure offensivley and defensively. Like I said previously they could turn into a solid 2nd line in 2-3 years. If they can all reach 50 points (BEST SCENARIO) this would be nice, IMO they have the potential.
The 4th line heinen- Beecher and Brazeau helps us to developp beecher into a solid 3rd line center, he can win faceoff, he has speed, a shot. he just need to play game at center. Heinen helps to do a bit of everything, and Brazeau just come as a puck controller with powerfullness that can generate pressure on all 3 zones. Heinen will play a lot more minutes Beecher could finish with an average of 11-12 min, and brazeau depending of the PP usage could do a 12-14 min.
On defense Lohrei and Mcavoy was great in playoff, mcavoy is the perfect player support lohrei, he learned from the great Z, Mcavoy will reach 500 games next season but on ice he play like a 1000 games sometimes, the only problem with this, its that lohrei has pressure to play against best lines out there. in playoff he did well, but we need to take this gamble but we still have a solid defence.
The second pair is zadorov and hronek, they work good in Van and i believe they get the best of their ability together. Zadorov is an expensive 3rd line that can play good stretch that get 20 minutes but not eveyry game. Hronek comes and get 23 mins a game get the top power play with lohrei as second and mcavoy 3rd. hronek comes and play with czech brothers he will love it.
3rd pairing lindholm-Peeke would be the best 3rd pair in the league, Lindholm has been shaky last season but he still can comeback playing really good, but lindholm will still play 20+ minutes because i believe that at the end of the season the average will look like lohrei 19 mins lindholm 23mins and zadorov 18. in the net swayman, and the back up can be dipietro or bussi (some media saying dipietro is the most likely, but we sign pickard to a 1 way 900k so we get a good 3rd goalie.
Our depth is :
wotherspoon decent 7th that can jump in for 30-40 games
Boqvist decent depth guy that can generate speed and scoring on a 4th line
Nosek RETURN good 4th c, that win faceoff and kills penality can sloth in if beecher aint good.
AHL options
F : merkulov or lysell, farinnaci, BROWN (I HATE HIM)
D : Shea, Regula, and maybe Edwards i can't wait for him to play against man, will he still be a menace, if he can and his games is just good enough for 3rd pair, this guy will complete our d. I have high hope for him.
This team has risk but good potential without making too much risky trades.
the vancouver move makes boston worse. don't just look at the points, look at the situation. Hronek at anywhere near $7M stinks. Moving geekie hurts too. up and down you've made the team worse short and long term.

Hronek is woth the 7M IMO he help generating offense but still able to play defensively (not the best but good enough), geekie hurst yess, but that roster is build to put the young guys in a good positions to help the retool

it doesn't do that though. it just makes them worse. hronek is a passenger.
Not enough from NJ , I’d prefer Mercer.
Also, to retool you need to get rid of more of the middling
guys( Debrusk, Fredrick).
Also, you have the same Crappy Centers that hurt us this year!
Brandon Carlo is an extremely good defensive player locked into a reasonable contract. He doesn’t play an adept offensive game like Hronek, but Hronek isn’t even in the same zip code as Carlo as a defender and Carlo’s contract is fantastic
With regards to Ullmark for Holtz. That’s not enough coming back for Boston.
