Description
CAP IS OVER BECAUSE THERE ARE 7 EXTRA PLAYERS CALLED UP WILL BE UNDER THE CAP WHEN U SEND PLAYERS DOWN (most of them are on 2 ways)

First trade: Jeannot doesnt seem to be sticking around with tampa. theres a high chance he walks next summer and they gave up a ton. They also seem to be shopping him and while hes a big body isnt much more then a 4th liner at best. The bruins always seem to get decent value out of players like especially ones who have talent and show flashes (like jeannot has). A depth Dman on a team that tents to turn them into solid at worst 3 pair guys and a 4th could be enough (would be open to changing it a bit)
Second trade: Ullmark is an elite goalie and Edm (at least there fans) seem to be desperate to get an elite goalie in net to back there D. trading 2 younger RFAs to a team looking to get younger would fit both teams. they both have solid potential and would fit into the bruins pretty well. With other teams calling edm would have to outbid everyone else (idc about nmc players tend to waive them when they feel unwanted)
Signings: Jake DeBrusk is most likely gone as he seems to be looking for 6m+ While that will suck for them due to him being an amazing playoff player he is very streaky and most likely going to be overpaid. There are a few replacements I could see as fits on a 2-3 year 5ish deal. Mantha Arvidsson, bertuzzi, Marchessault, olofsson, duclair, kanee, even duchene or Pacioretty could be fits (not all them are worth 5m some are a bit more some are less but general idea)
Lines: While theres a small logjam in the bottom 6 in the Fwd they have a bunch of them on expiring deals and could look to package them and add a player during the seaons if needed. letting merkulov and lysell fight for some time during training camp can only help. expecting beecher, lauko and boqvist to take a step forward this year they could move them during the year for picks or keep the depth.

Additional Details:
Decent 4th liner. overpaid and not worth much. most teams wont touch.
TBL
  1. Mitchell, Ian [RFA Rights]
  2. 2024 4th round pick (BOS)
Additional Details:
near NHL Depth Dman who could see improvement in Tampas system. 4th to sweeten it.
2.
BOS
  1. Broberg, Philip [RFA Rights]
  2. Holloway, Dylan [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
They get a great 1A goalie to pair with skinner to be a 1B. Instantly makes them a much better team all they have to do is move campbells cap and replace it with an ullmark deal. + saves a few mill (mid/late draft picks could be added depending on value for either side)
EDM
  1. Ullmark, Linus
Additional Details:
Both good young players however Holloway hasnt continued to developed as expected. Borberg is a good 3LD also comes with having to resign both. gets the bruins younger overall during this retool. (mid/late draft picks could be added depending on value for either side)

Jeannot will get a better offer than a waiver wire and a 4th

It's a complete non-starter for EDM for a variety of reasons. The most important one is that making such a trade all but screws their entire cap situation as they're relying on both Holloway and Broberg to fill significant roles on the roster for cheap (~1mil each). Such a move means they'll need to fill both a middle-6 LW spot and either their 3LD or 2RD spot with different (likely more expensive) players while ALSO having a good chunk less cap space due to the Ullmark addition. The end result of that would likely be a net loss of around 7 to 8mil of their already limited cap flexibility.

The team is notably better off keeping both young guys as they also (should) want to get younger and faster and using the extra space they'd have to upgrade through other means.

What? from who? I cant see any halfway decent team offering anything more then a 3rd. Maroon over the last 2 years has put the same points as him. Patrick maroon. ur not getting anything back to the level u gave up. Jeannot has missed solid time due to injury's and done everything but be valueable to tampa. They overpaid massively for him and nobody wants him. the best u might get is a 3rd which is about the same as a 4th and a RD who is an edge NHLer who at least has a chance to be a 6th/7th D which is about what jeannot is as a fwd. Jeannot got benched multiple times for u guys in the playoffs.

While I understand the cap if Edm does make a run any deal would start with at least 1 of Holloway/broberg/bourgault + at least a 2nd. Saw a bunch of Edm fans on twitter + here adding ullmark in trades or people they should go get, thought it would be interesting but U would have to make it worth bostons while and thats pretty much the only way. Unless ur open to moving hyman which ovb wont happen bos wouldnt think about kane unless ur eating half his cap and RNH surely isnt available theres nothing else on ur roster that would interest them as far as players. Its going to require a lot more draft capital without any players (1st + 2nd) to get him. so a similar package is really the only way to go to get him.
