A different approach

Team: 2024-25 Boston Bruins

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The trade for Joel Eriksson Ek is more wishful thinking than anything. He's a very good two way forward and he produces which is something the bruins could really use. Stamkos is older and is slowing down so playing him on the 2nd line with younger players is probably better than playing him with marchand and coyle and creating one of the slowest lines OAT.

Jake Debrusk was good on defense and played a lot of tthe season with a broken hand/wrist and I think he'd play better next year with a true goal scorer on his line and another good young playmaker in poitras.

Playing Lysell with coyle and freddy would be very good for him as coyle is a decent playmaker and him and freddy can create space for Lysell to make his plays.

4th Line is for size and energy, similar to the third line (besides Lysell).

I was'nt sure how to fill the left side of the bottom D pair so I went with a decent and fairly cheap option. As for the top 4, Lohrei needs to play with McAvoy to learn how to captain his own line and grow under McAvoy and why split up the Lindholm-Carlo pair, it's been working.
