Description

If Necas cannot win face offs, Zacha can take face offs while Necas plays the middle of the ice. Bruins should absolutely resign DeBrusk and Heinen. They fit the system perfectly and are versatile. Give Lysell a chance to make the roster out of camp. If not, can move Geekie up to the third line plug in a fourth line RW. Poitras is a cornerstone and should be playing with skill players, period. Sign a veteran depth defenseman.

Basically this team swaps out Brazeau, Maroon, and Van Riemsdyk for Necas, Poitras, and Lysell. The 2023 Bruins were a good team that gets a lot faster and more skilled in this scenario. Plus they keep their draft picks and have good trade chips like Frederic and Geekie.

you know your a great market when the argument for a goalie with a m-ntc to waive is "closer to Sweden than out west"

My assumption is Carolina is going to resign Skjei and give Morrow a shot at RD. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t covet Ullmark more with their current organizational depth chart.

Also, I think Boston needs to add Lysell and atleast a 2026 second to make it interesting for Carolina.

That’s fine. In any event, I do think Necas is the type of dynamic talent they need up front. I would prefer Necas over guys like Lindholm and Stephenson because of his age and his speed and because I don’t think he’s reached his ceiling yet. His ceiling playing with Pastrnak would be very high.

I don’t believe he is a center. He is a poor fit defensively for the system as a center plus his face off numbers are weaker than id like for a conversion candidate. If they are paying him this salary and putting him on powerplay 1, I doubt he will have an issue playing RW.

I would sign Lindholm over DeBrusk if we acquire Necas. I’m not sure Heinen gets 2.5m on the open market, but he’s played well this year.
