Sujet: Boston fans think this is a contender lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>The 1st line scored 107 of the team's 227 goals, or 47%. And that's not counting defenseman scoring while those guys were on the ice either.

- only 1 other forward with 40+ points (43)
- only 3 other forwards with 10+ goals (19, 16, 13)

You won't find another contender that has numbers like that.

Besides, if you look at their top forwards by points you'll find that many of their primary and secondary offensive players are aging out:

2. Marchand is 32
3. Bergeron is 35 this month
4. Krejci is 34
5. Coyle is 28

Since this mock is talking about the playoffs 2 years from now, even Coyle will be past his prime. The other guys well past. Boston will remain a playoff team for the next couple of years, but beyond that I'm not so confident.</div></div>

The Bruins are the best defensive team in the NHL. Some of that is based on goaltending, some of that is based on their system and crazy depth on the back end. That wont go away when Chara retires, if anything it will allow McAvoy to get more offense in

Charlie McAvoy- 22
Brandon Carlo- 23
David Pastrnak- 24
Jake Debrusk- 23
Ondrej Kase- 24

The Bruins will be just fine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I think <a href="/users/Bf3351" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Bf3351</a> made a good point about the decline in Bergeron and Marchand though. If they are still producing at their current level then yes they can contend, but if their production drops which is entirely possible, they won’t contend. Bergeron and Marchand have both played a lot of heavy minutes.</div></div>

they have and could certainly hit a wall/ fall off, but they are showing 0 signs of it. Bergy probably has another 3 years of being a top 6 forward, then being a great 3rd line defensive center. Marchand is a top 5 winger in the league and hes only improved over the past few years. he doesnt play a type of game where he'll fall off unexpectedly, hes so good at avoiding contact and keeping the puck.

The bruins window is closing, no question of that. but to say this team still isnt a cup contender in 2 years would be idiotic. they do a very good job at internally managing cap and while it they groom their prospects a bit longer than most teams, they know how to grow studs. pun not intended but it works.
