Not really, he barely helped over the last 2 months and now they've got nothing for the future, especially for a team desperately lacking assets.

Merkulov is waivers exempt until the start of the 2025-26 season or until he plays 66 games. Anyway, he definitely needs a serious look.

To not lose him for nothing when they lose and get an asset for the future.

Thread: staying in the top of the atlantic

Zadorov isn't worth this contract and the goal is to win the Cup, not just stay at the top of the division.

Thread: Learned a lot about this team this year changes need to be made

Agreed with lots of things except:
-Marchand is a 2LW, which is correct... But Lindholm is a 1C? Totally disagree. If you sign a player to a 5+ years deal, it's gotta be a top line player or one who's 29yo or younger. Lindholm isn't either and neither is Teravainen, they're both 2nd liners and 30 next season.
-Poitras has 33 games, I'll wait before saying he's close to being a 2C.
-Lohrei struggled most of the regular season and while he has been fine thru a short sample size in the playoffs, it's still a big bet. This doesn't factor injuries so they definitely need another legit 2nd pair LD.
-Can't work with $215K, there will be injuries and callups; preferably, we don't use LTIR.

Thread: My recommended lines and special teams for winning 3 in a row against Florida

I would have scratched Maroon for few games in the Toronto series and even in these first four games. After missing 10 weeks, at his age, his style of play and the games every other day for two weeks, he can't keep up.

But the season's on line and we can't let Bennett get away like that so he needs to be in.

Thread: game 3 lineup

You've got four completely new lines and Brown who was returned to Providence (and shouldn't be on the roster anyway). Agreed for scratching Maroon and going back to this 3rd pair though.

Thread: COVID not Team Construction sank the Leafs

It doesn't mean they would have built a Cup contender. Every year, GMs make stupid signings in free agency and nothing suggests the Leafs would have necessarily built a great team. Also, it doesn't matter if their top guys don't show up in elimination games.

Thread: What Id consider for game 6

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dons_weeney</b></div><div>Rational takes. The Forbort one is tricky, because Griz has a lower ceiling defensively imo, but he's of course more fresh. I'm thinking ahead to PKs here, unless they put Beecher as a defenseman I'm just not sure I like having Mcavoy and Lindholm eat those minutes when they're gonna be relied on heavy 5v5 and P too. I guess what I'm trying to say is Forbort shouldn't be too bad on the PK, and that may be worth putting him in for.</div></div>

Fortunately, Carlo is good to go and Forbort's PK aside, he's awful at 5v5 which is where they have struggled so it would get worse. PK should be fine even if they were missing Carlo.

Thread: What Id consider for game 6

Frederic-Geekie-Pastrnak is a line that has not played at all together and it's questionable to work out. Same for 21-88-55. Aside from a goal, both JVR and Geekie haven't been really good, no chance I'd consider Geekie as 1C when he's struggled in the top6. You don't want Grzelcyk-Shattenkirk, but how is Forbort-Shattenkirk better or Forbort alone? He shouldn't be in the lineup unless they're missing 4-5 Ds.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 1 at 8:06 a.m.

Thread: Game 6

Aside from the first few shifts, Grzelcyk played well for most part of the game. What offense has Shattenkirk provided?? Brazeau was also fine, rather him over Lauko and van Riemsdyk who hasn't done much after scoring one goal.

Boston was rumored to be interested by Chychrun before his trade and even in 2022. They need a top4 LD and as a 26yo, he makes a lot of sense.

Thread: Game 3 lineup changes and reasoning

Too many changes and three new lines. Heinen isn't a top6 F, but Frederic is? Especially when he hasn't played with 18-88? There was a time to try Lohrei on the 3rd pair, they didn't and he can't play in the top4 either.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 23 at 8:00 a.m.

Thread: Game 3 Lines

Boqvist played well in game 1 and as we saw a few times, his speed his really valuable on odd-man rushes (often with Beecher). Need more from Frederic.

Thread: maybe its not a center we go after

Maybe but they can't contend with this forward group either. Bad contract for Skjei, he isn't a #2 defenseman like Lindholm.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Yeah.... and JVR has 2 points since February. Beecher is the best of the bunch for his faceoff ability, speed, and forechecking.</div></div>

van Riemsdyk has definitely struggled, but Beecher isn't consistent enough to call him a regular or be in the "he's absolutely gotta be in the lineup" territory. The few attributes he brings are useful, but there's much more in hockey. Hopefully all four of van Riemsdyk, Maroon, Lauko and Beecher step up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Beecher has been better recently and has better offensive production this season than Lauko. He was coming into his own on the 4th line with Boqvist. I wouldn't break that up.</div></div>

Has he been better recently? I haven't seen much. He averages two pts more than Lauko, that's not much of a difference and he's got a likely unsustainable 18% shot%.

Thread: Use our cap

Unlikely you're getting a 1st and a 2nd for Ullmark. Rather keep Heinen at 2Y/$1.8M over Hayes or even sign any 3rd liner at $1-2M, it's easy to get those guys.
