Fair points for sure, trying to keep it in the realm of realism.
- Brouwer, fits the "getting heavier on the right side" agenda, cheaper than Okposo but obviously a risk at that $. But he's a consistent 20/20 guy with size and strength. Quality mid roster player. I'd also take a look at David Perron there (although I believe he's more comfortable on the left side)
- Cross was really the only in-house left D option I had left after using Morrow in the trade and he had a decent year in Providence and showed decent when he got the chance, he's certainly a JAG, but that's about all there was room left for. If you swap Morrow out of the trade for say Koko's rights, then I'd slot him in there.
- Fiddler, fits the Kelly mode as responsible vet 3C for Claude. 20-25 point guy who doesn't mind getting dirty can PK etc. Ideally Czarnik pushes in an offensive role, but he's insurance and depth and a guy who can be relied on.
- White to me is what they wanted in Rinaldo, but a guy who can actually play the game.</i></div></div>

Good explanations. I actually was very excited to see Cross get in there last year, even if it was more of a, "thanks for being a good soldier," type call-up. That said, he has talent, injuries just really held him back (as we know -- And i definitely know you that since you post on HFboards). He showed that at worst he could be a #7 defenseman for a team, and while I'd rather go with a more proven option (or one with more upside) he's not the worst option; Matt Irwin looks on.....

Fiddler, to me, is more of a 4th liner type at this point in his career. I just feel like he'd be a guy that would be overused by Julien, but I wouldn't complain about him. Even if it's a year type situation, they can always find a replacement the following year, or maybe someone progresses in the minors, a player they drafted, etc.

I've liked White's game since he debuted with the Habs, and he always seemed like a guy who would fit in well with the Bruins and that style we all loved and want back (well most of us). He really works well with the Flyers, and if they let him go, i wouldn't mind him at all. Would love the move actually. He's a 4th liner that if needed can move up to a 3rd line role for a change-up type. Also, him next to Acciari would be a lot of fun. I wouldn't be opposed to Matt Martin, if he makes it to FA. Martin -- Acciari -- White would be too much fun to watch lol

Ok...... First I'll start by saying that I'm glad you are not the GM of the Boston Bruins. This is pretty rough all around.

Winnipeg doesn't touch that deal. Did you know they just resigned Buff? He's part of their plan, not someone they are going to be trading, and especially for a package like that. Defensemen that the Jets may move are Myers, Trouba, and Enstrom. You want the first two, you'll have to give up a good package for. Enstrom may be the most available of them (doesn't help the Bruins for what he brings) but he'd still cost a decent amount.

Now, your free agency spending is putrid. Dale Weise at 2.5 per for 4 years? No thank you. He's progressed and made himself into a pretty solid bottom 6 forward, but I don't want him anywhere near the Bruins at that price. Next we have Goligoski. Will be overpaid come FA (he'll get more than 5 million on the market) and the Bruins should be spending their money elsewhere. He's 30 years old and has a small build for a defenseman. He's bound to start breaking down eventually. Now you grossly overpaid for Liles. He was alright for the Bruins but he's older and not strong in his end. Definitely not worth 4.5 million per for 3 more years (as a #5). No more Connolly please, especially for 3 years. Everyone you signed is too long of contracts.

Just lazy thought put into this one. I'd honestly give it less than 1 star if possible....

Sujet: Mock Roster 2
Really solid mock. I think you may have to add a little to the St. Louis deal, but it's a good start to a deal like that.

I like this for the now and future. The season after this one, you'd be looking at around 17-18 million in cap space (took into account Chara's drop in cap hit) to resign Marchand (6-6.5 per), Pastrnak (2-3 million?), Shattenkirk (6.5-7 per), Subban (900k-1m per?). And I'd say that adds up to around that space. Maneuvering of Hayes, Seidenberg, etc. would also help relieve some cap space the following year.

D-core is rebuilt, and once Chara retires you still have 3 legit top 4 guys to move along with. Who knows where Carlo/Zboril/Lauzon will be in their development. The future would look nice at that position.

All in all, a solid mock. Good stuff!

And tell Fire Sweeney that he is a fool lmfao. I read HFboards all the time, but have, for whatever the reason, been perma-banned (i have no idea what i did).
