<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>get the idea but if ur looking for a winger U call LA or Det. Ott wing is fairly thin and while batherson is solid U could get a fairly similar player from Det or LA and more without having to give up merk.
carrier is interesting. Not sure what his market is tbh havent really looked at him too hard hes kinda in the lower T2 of Dman in FA imo so not sure how good that deal is. I think ideally Sway gets 7.5 for 8 years and that saves u a bit of cap. I think depending what ullmark gets back Drouin, sprong and duclar are 3 guys who could play 2nd line wing for 4ish or less M and would be ok with a 2-3 year deal.</div></div>

For the carrier and swayman signings I'm going off the daily faceoff projections for them. I dont think dulair or drouin bring enough to the table to sign them. Both of those guys are similar to debrusk but with less production value. I'm also supe 50/50 on merk and I dont know where he'd slot in if they keep him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>He needs to work on his defending alot, I was impressed with his puck skills and confidence with the puck. I still think he has a long ways to go before he's a top 4 guy but the potential is there. Also teams don't make moves, or lack of moves, just because they have prospects that show good signs. They are going to make moves to try and win now. At least teams like Boston who are in win now mode. Make the move, get the player, if someone pushes him down the line up then deal with that situation if it comes.</div></div>

I dont know I'd rather have lohrei play with mcavoy where he can learn from him rather than be stuck on the third pair because the bruins are in "win now mode". The bruins can win with lohrei on the top pair, the defense isnt a big enough issue to the point where chychrun really pushes the needle, signing lindholm would push the needle way further than trading for a guy that might stay for one year or might sign. The issue is if he signs and lohrei passes him that contract could be really bad if its long term.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>I think Holloway has easy top 6 potential and could easily slot next to pot or between zacha and pasta in a few years. he has versatility and will continue to grow as a C if u want him to.
My take on merk is hes weird. He went undrafted yet somehow has turned into one of the better prospects on the bruins. I think hes underrated as a prospect but im also not sure how i feel on him. he doesnt have much size but he seems to have grown into a bit of a goal scorer. I think this camp this year will be huge for him. he either will make the jump and he will start being a skill 4th liner this year or u have to move him bc hes not gonna work out and u need to get value for him</div></div>

I might have to watch holloway a little more because i'm getting invested now and I would like to see how he grows, even though the deal hasn't been made. I feel pretty similar abut merkulov, I don't know what to do with him and 24 isn't that young for a guy to make his NHL debut

I might be crazy for this but this doesn't seem like a terrible return of ullmark. I think you're lowballing the free agents though. swayman is looking for 8-8.5 million and lindholm is in the range of 6.5-7.5 million allegedly, he said no to similar deals from vancouver and calgary which makes me think he wants out of a canadian market. Arvidsson's best years are behind him imo, if you dont sign him you could add about 2 million to both swayman and lindholm and that gets you fairly close if not right on what they're looking for.

I'd also swap Marchand and Zacha's places and Lindholm and Coyle's places for better scoring depth. I'd also take off bychkov from that trade, he's barely doing anything the KHL's version of the AHL so he's just kind of a guy also with that 1.8 million you could find an upgrade on wotherspoon probably. Also move lohrei to the top pair with mcavoy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ShadowBowser</b></div><div>Dont know if the Devils boston on makes any sense. Your not getting a first this year. he is your backup, stop over valuing him. why do Devils need more young players, when that was a problem for them...</div></div>

I think ullmark is valued so highly is because he won the vezina in 2023, yes the bruins had on of the best defenses we've seen that year, just based on the goals against thy had but ullmark has also been really consistent the last 5 seasons posting rougly the same GAA and SV% every season besides the 2023 season. Also him and swayman split time, yes hed be a backup next year but this isnt the first time the bruins had a starter as their back up at one point, tim thomas and tuukka rask were a filthy tandem, so was rask and halak (I am in no way saying halak was a starter when he joined the bruins he was just a really good back up)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>I hard disagree. building ur D core around 2 young super talented LD and having a top 4-7D in McAvoy and one of the most underrated D in carlo imo its 100% worth. Broberg is already an NHL player + injuries happen all the time so he could easily play top 4 mins for parts of the season. lindholm is here for a while but he should bounce back to a similar level he played 2 years ago and if he keeps that up for a year or 2 hes very very movable and with the cap going up its not like u would be forced into moving him (thinking it goes up 3ish per year ur looking at 10ishm extra in 2-4 years when u would be looking to move him and give that money to broberg). I think moving on from coyle would be a huge mistake. hes been one of the best 3rd liners year in year out and showed this past season hes very capable of playing top 6c mins. the bruins main problem is they dont have any elite fwd talent that looks to replace the talent they have lost over the last few years. I think fredric will start to show he can play top 6mins or at worst be a really strong 3rd liner. pots looks to be the only hope so adding holloway would give a top6 possible player and allow zacha to move to the wing whenever pots and him step up into the mainc roles. coyle could also play wing if needed or be a strong 3rdc and depending on what geekie wants that could leave u with only having to look for someone to replace march. which if they sign lindholm in FA to be there #1 that could allow a top lines in 2-3 years too be zacha-lindholm-pasta holloway-pots-(whoever grows the best from merk,lysell,braz or even coyle) fredric-coyle/geekie(if hes extended)- merk/ maybe march?. that would still leave braz, boqvist, beecher and any other talent that u grow or sign to be filling in the gaps. thats a very very very good team right now let alone when all those players grow. not to mention ur D would be 3 lines deep and u would have sway. thats a team contending for a cup imo and its mainly built off signing lindholm and getting this return for ullmark. its all imo ofc</div></div>

I totally agree with a lot of the next few years comes down to if lindholm is signed and I think I meant more like if coyle was gonna want 5 million again I wouldn't be able to justify that for him to play on the third line. As for the lines you suggested I really like them except I feel like if lysell and poitras are on a line together I'd like to see someone like freddy be with them to almost be like their big brother making sure they don't get smoked 24/7. Also him being on that line would free up space on the ice for poitras and lysell to make some plays, which means holloways on the third line which if were assuming he grows well would hurt the growth or be a waste of his talent. I'm coming around to the brogerg idea if hampus lindholm gets moved a couple years down the line, I'm still not quite sold on holloway just because of the awkwardness of his timeline with respect to other guys on the bruins. Also I'd like to hear you're thoughts on merk because im not really sold on him, I'd rather move him because he's taken a while to grow and at the NHL level if boston is looking to contend right now, there likely wont be a lot of space for him on the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CW_73</b></div><div>As to Bertuzzi, I don't buy at all that he did something wrong for trying to find a better deal for himself. In any case, outside of DeBrusk who I think is more likely gone than not, I don't see a better fit for the Bruins at the price range outside of Bert.

As to Lauko, I like him but he doesn't have a whole ton of upside beyond what he's already shown. A cheap deal for Nosek is more enticing to me mainly because it gives the Bruins another strong faceoff-taking option, which was a huge problem last season.</div></div>

Bertuzzi went to toronto for less money and less term than what the bruins were offering. He also said he wanted to stay in toronto per David Pagnotta and they need more speed than what bertuzzi can offer and more scoring. So the bruins have to pick their poison that way. On top of that swayman is looking for 8-8.5 and if this deal does happen I think those powerplays would be more balanced than this.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>i mean holloway is 22 and everytime he goes back to the AHL he dominates. Hes clearly NHL level and has plenty of room to grow. 14th overall pick just 4 years ago and already has almost 100 nhl games (not including playoffs). broberg is 22 yearold LD who would slot behind lorhei and lindholm would be fairly cheap for the next 3-4 years for them and is a former 8th overall pick. similar to holloway everytime he goes to the AHL he is clearly far above everyone else and has really stepped up this year and still has massive room to grow. at worst u get a cheap 3LD and 3/4C who both can improve significantly and has RFA rights for the next few years that you could flip. I dont think trading for chyc is smart for boston. 1 year rental who would be there 3LD who will most likely be gone. imo just a 10oa/ future first + 2/3rd is really the only other option if ur moving him. hes not going to be enough to get an elite player. maybe laine being available and Cbj building like they want to win within the next few years it could be close to value but U would still have to give up and all u need is 1 of broberg or holloway to reach there potential and u get a top4D/top6C/LW and a role player for ullmark and 2-3M in cap space to resign sway + march and coyle next year</div></div>


I think chychrun is bad for the bruins just based on their timeline with lohrei. Thats why I'm not the biggest fan of getting broberg, he might have all this room to grow but he wont get the minutes if lohrei gets locked up and lindholm is here for another 6 years at most. But overall I agree, id maybe look to moving on from coyle though, knowing poitras is going to be growing as well. I feel like if this were to get done that mantha would also be a roadblock for them, id rather have zacha at LW so poitras can get 2nd/3rd line minutes
