Sujet: Ideal Offseason w EH Projections
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>they're just not cap strapped. you can look at their page if that would help you.

haven't seen anything about swayman and 8x8.
not sure where you're getting that projection for heinen, but it's kind of bonkers. cut it in half.

i would take another look at the bruins page on capfriendly, and stop falling in love with arbitrary "projections," you're seeing online.</div></div>

I used EvolvingHockey's projections for the contracts I listed here, just as I did in the team above -- which I said in the description. Heinen's camp and the Bruins are talking extension as per David Pagnotta, and I assume Boqvist will be extended as he's the only worthwhile RFA even if he's a 4th liner. Have seen multiple reports of Swayman's long-term extension being around the $8 million mark.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>Bruins are not cap strapped. They might accept that deal if there is no better offer, but I think you may get outbid. Take Bastian out, Bruins don't have a spot for him.</div></div>

In what world are the Bruins NOT cap-strapped? They have $20 million in space right now with only 17 NHLers under contract. Figure they sign Heinen (proj. 4 years @ 3.589) and extend Boqvist (proj. 2 years @ 1.659) and that's $15 million now with 19 under contract. If Swayman gets his rumored 8 x 8, that's $7 million with a need for 3 more contracts -- one of which includes a legitimate top-six C in free agency. If they want to move Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle down a line where they deserve to be, they need to move someone and Ullmark is certainly the most movable asset they have in terms of creating cap space.

NJD / WPG - YES for WPG! No way NJD goes for it</div></div>

My thought process was as follows: Holtz doesn’t have a spot on our team unless he’s slotted into the top 6 imo. He’s a perfect passenger player for Hughes/Bratt/Meier/Hischier but Ruff doesn’t trust him enough in that role so I think that’s more of a pipe dream.

Sharangovich is also probably on his way out, Ruff didn’t like him down the stretch or in the playoffs. I think he has some value but not very much rn.

Foote is probably a viable bottom 6 option for the Devils right now but I’d rather slot in Graeme Clarke which makes Foote kinda the odd man out.

Devils acquire Kyle Connor who is a bonafide superstar top 6 option to slot in next to Hughes and Bratt and pot 50+ goals a year.

It might be a bit of an overpay, in which case substitute one of Walsh/Vilen/Stillman instead of Foote.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>I mean jackets prospect pool is neck and neck with the devils if not better depending on who’s rankings you go by and that’s before you add another 3 picks in the top 35 this year with 3OA. They are set at winger with laine, gaudreau, marchenko, Kent Johnson, Voronkov, texier, bemstrom, foudy, bemstrom, Oliver, Robinson. That’s if Boone Jenner and roslovic don’t go back to winger. They need a 1C or second pair LD otherwise it doesn’t make sense to give away their best winger who is still young and fits their timeline.</div></div>

I mean both prospect pools are top notch. My thing is, if they want to be true contenders a few years down the line, they should trade JG and Laine and stock up on valuable futures. I really don’t think either (albeit, especially JG) fit their timeline. That’s not to say Laine is old, but he’s 25, and Holtz is 21. That’s a significant difference considering their core ages. Add these three pieces to their already very very good pool and it’s no doubt the best in the league, and getting rid of Laine and JG probably also help to tank for this upcoming season.
