Sujet: We Are Done As A Contender Time To Embrace A Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhysicalGraffiti</b></div><div>And it’s a huge mistake</div></div>

Is it though? It isnt like the Bruins don't have the core to keep being competitive. Pasta, McAvoy, Hall, DeBrusk, Lindholm, Carlo, Grizz, Swayman is a pretty healthy group to continue moving forward with. Might not be contender status, but they'll likely be in the mix for a playoff spot. Its gonna be tough to find the next 1+2C, ill give you that. But they'll probably be able to maintain for a couple years, free up some cap space and find their next guy and be right in the thick of things again. As much as I'd be for a rebuild I just think the core is too talented to push for a tank or rebuild. And I dont think we'll see them have a complete fire sale either. I also think Lysell and Loheri are two huge prospects that the Bruins need to hope they hit on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>They were expiring which is different. Again I think Reilly would’ve been traded by now if he had value.</div></div>

Reilly isnt gonna be moved. Not because nobody wants him but the Bruins actually need the depth on the back end with the injuries to McAvoy and Grizz. Maybe come the Bruins full health that changes but I dont think Reilly is one of those if he had value he'd already be moved by now players. I also think FA hurt his trade market a tad. But once the season gets going and teams may want to improve/replace injuries and the Bruins regain their depth is when Reilly would likely be moved. At least IMO thats where the whole Reilly situation is at right now

Sujet: Offseason
When I look at this roster I think they're just a good team. Obviously NHL playoffs anything can happen but this doesnt get me all jazzed up and ready for a year resulting in a deep run. Not to mention with the Bruins having very little space to maneuver upgrades, we could see a team or two pass them who have the ability to add a bit in free agency or via trades. So after the next few days I think we'll have a better grasp of where the Bruins could stand in the East (on paper).

If I was in charge I'd try to do a few things. One; I'd tried to upgrade on Grizz. Personally I just think his time is done in Boston. Like him as a player, just for me one of those things. I know fans love him, local kid. Just doesnt seem to have it come playoff time the past couple years. Dont know what's really out there to upgrade on him. Chychrun is an obvious one but sounds like the Yotes are holding him unless they get something they can't refuse. IF Grizz cant be moved I think its time to ship out Smith and give Lysell his spot in the lineup. Might have to be something that waits till they get back Marchy just so they can maintain some depth thru the early injuries. Reilly is another guy, again dont know if he gets moved until they regain some health on the back end cuz the depth there rn is minimal with Grizz and McAvoy out. I think its gonna be a rather quiet and boring offseason overall for the Bruins unless one of/both Krejci or Bergy decide they aren't coming back then the B's brass will be scrambling to find a solution.

I personally hope they stink for a couple years. I want Sweeney and Neely out. Idk if you heard ownership talk about upper management but they basically guaranteed Neely's job security and basically said if Neely wants to do it he's got the green light, which in essence also means Don has the green light cuz Neely trusts Don's ability to put together a club. I think its a nightmare situation to be in right now as a Bruins fan right now. This management has NO plan. They're relying on David freaking Krejci to come back and play 2C for us. We're loaded with depth players who really bring no significant impact. Coyle and Smith maybe the only two in the bottom 6. Lazar too, he was a great 4th line guy for the B's. But I just dont see what their vision is and where the hell they're trying to go. But hopefully my ignorance of just being a fan is wrong and they have a great season and win a cup.

Rant over.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>McAvoy wont even be back until December or January, So Sweeney isn't trading Carlo anytime soon.

Boston is heading for a rebuild, So Pastrnak for M Tkachuk isn't happening.</div></div>

If they're heading for a rebuild why would it not happen? Tkachuk is younger than Pasta, maybe Tkachuk is a player the Bruins rather build around up front over Pasta. Just because a team is per say rebuilding it doesnt mean they have to dump their best player for 1st round picks and/or prospects. There's other ways you can rebuild. Lucic and Hamilton weren't their best players when they last retooled. Why couldn't they move Carlo, DeBrusk, Coyle, Ullmark, Marchy (assuming last 3 waive their clauses) for picks/prospects?

Sujet: If they tear it down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Tkachuk has significantly more value right now lol.

I also said between Hall and Miller. JT should have more value as a center imo</div></div>

I agree JT gets an edge in value cuz he's a center. I still think Tkachuk and Pasta are actually very close in value. Both produce goals and points at a very similar clip. Both of their possession metrics are very similar. The only value Tkachuk holds over Pasta is the RFA tag. But how much value does that really add when we all know if the Bruins indeed move pasta its likely with an extension? I love Tkachuck, great player, wish he was a Bruin but trying to be unbiased as possible as a Bruins fan I feel that Pasta would have very similar value (with an extension - which is the only way I see the Bruins moving him). But I'm interested in hearing why you think Tkachuk has more value, outside of being a year and a half younger and having RFA status
