They need a top 6 center and top 6 winger. I would also trade for a few defensemen. Carolina seems to be the team looking to make transactions right now. I would also look at Buffalo because they are looking to make changes after another disappointing year.
id love to give edmonton ulmark and give up merkulov and a pick for draisaitl. then sign jake guentzal. or move lindholm/ ulmark for necas and grab another defenseman in the 4 mil range. we are heavy slotted on defense.
Nobody really knows who is available, yet. Many of the names floated around won't even be available. And then there's the budget...can go quickly. And the Swayman deal...at what rate and what is left?
Bergeron was 55-65pts centerman. I'd rather have a 2-way, elite faceoff 55-65 pts center over a 70pts+ center that's "average" in every other aspect. Just winning faceoffs vs Florida would of added 5-7 shots on net + 1-2 extra high danger chances per game. We rarely had possession and a lot of that starts with winning faceoffs.
You guys crack me up. What Czech player plays the physical game, and plays through the body? Not, Zacha, not Pasta, they try but not their style of Hockey. Necas he's Czech too? All I ever hear about him is he's fast, I hear he struggles Defensively, and stinks at Face-offs. Does he play PK? Or just another PP one shot wonder?What lines has he played on to get the points, Carolina a very good team. Brind Amore moved him all over the place. -9 on a Team that emphasizer's Defense in 77 games. Does he play a physical type of game? Otherwise, we just resign DeBrusk. Necas is going to want big bucks too. Maybe Carolina wants to move him so they have the bucks to resign Guentzel. Not trying to start trouble, but I'm not as convinced as everyone about Necas. Fast! That's it? Looked it up Zacha had 106 hits this year, Necas 77 (Career high). Did it look to you like Zacha was a physical presence in Play-offs? Thought he disappeared. Also looked it up Necas gives the puck away a lot, and he isn't a guy like Pasta.
As long as 27, 73 & 88 are the core taking up 30% of cap, with Swayman soon to put four players taking up 40% of cap Bruins are gong no where. Too soft. Got to re-sign/replace 7 UFA’s with 20.8 mill and give Swayman $$$$$$$. Good luck
Mac was clearly injured all through the playoffs. When established playoff performers (like Marchy and Mac) disappear in the playoffs, it’s almost always injury related.
Pasternak is a primary goal scorer in the regular season when serves his ( cookie ) contract. He is a selfish player looking to get paid. I wouldn't mind the Bruins adding him in a trade package. F him!
I disagree. The TV Market is in the toilet. I stopped watching when the Bs were out. The Swamp Cats have fewer fans than Vagueass had. The Oilers are only of interest to some Candians. Most fans of other clubs stop watching when their teams are out. The Stanley Cup finals are a formula for diminishing returns.

How about trade Ullmark to the Kings for Byfield? The kings would do that, right?

Lindholm, necas, and brendan dillon on d.
We don't need 60 points at center. We need 70 plus

hope they can get bertuzzi back. they need another dman who can really hit...mcavoy cant be the only one
Consider that Pasta's sentiments (on Bertuzzi) linger in the room, as well. And the B's can do better.
Peake...
