How about Ryan Murray?

I’m not sure he’s a number 1 pair guy and very injury prone

There's no taxi squad next year.

Well, you’re not getting a top pair guy. He would be a good option to pair with carlo so mcavoy can play with grzelcyk

I know I meant to add something in the description saying these are AHL guys that get called up because of injuries

You need someone better than Grzelcyk to contend

Not if they’re playing with mcavoy, and there’s good defensive depth.

I like Grzelcyk but he isn’t top pair quality

Again, its fine if he’s playing with mcavoy and there’s good defensive depth. There’s a salary cap, you can’t just run out and have multiple legit number one d men. No team has that. You want to shoot for the moon and make a massive trade offer for lindholm? Maybe that would work. Don’t expect to find it on the free agent market though.

I really don’t understand what you are even getting at here, when did I say the Bruins need a ton of number 1 guys they already have their number 1 in McAvoy they just have a few 3 or 4 guys like Grzelcyk Carlo and Reilly and are missing the type of guy who can play in all situations and the Bruins have a ton of cap space so stop acting like the salary cap is holding them back

And what are you getting at? Who do you want to go after? Do you think top pair guys are out there all over the place ready to be acquired? Getting a top four is difficult enough.

I mentioned guys in the description and you added Lindholm to the conversation

You mentioned hanifin. Also not a top pair guy. Ekholm is, but seeing as the title is, “getting young,” i didn’t really think that was viable. Enter lindholm. Sounds like the kind of guy you’re talking about, 1 year left on his deal, and on a bad team. 27 years old.

Would love Lindholm or Ekholm but the Bruins tradeable assets don't have enough value to get either without adding #20 overall and that is something I don't think they should do. Prioritize Oleksiak in free agency and work from there.
