Thread: Boston Deals Ullmark and Merk in the offseason

I love going after Vegas for a D man but I think Lohrei and Wotherspoon have both played themselves into being everyday players next year. We need depth, but there will be depth defensemen we can get for less than that. I'm also a huge Brunet fan and think he can replace Peeke as a shutdown D in a few years.

Check yourself, that package gets guys like Hertl. Ek is not world class even playing with a guy as talented as Kaprizov

Thread: Lets roll

I can't see the Bruins trading Geekie, he's a great value signing and Kalrsson may have had a "bounce back" year, but he's on the wrong side of 30. The Bruins have been an "old team" for a decade, they need to get younger.
Ericsson Ek is too good a deal for the Wild to trade for any package.

Geekie alone is worth Holtz and a 2nd based off performance and potential.

Thread: My lineup game 7

If Heinen can play (apparently he's hurt) this is the best bet. We need jump, not size, against these guys. Maroon is a wet blanket on an otherwise capable bottom 6.

Plus think of the theatrics! Pasta vs. Panarin has always been a comparison (and the Rangers probably smoke the Bruins in the ECF) so they go out and get the only true enemy of the Breadman: Mangiapane (The Bread Eater)

Why would BOS do that??</div></div>

Younger defenseman with a higher ceiling? Move an unproven asset for a known one? Lots of reasons. I can't believe that you think it wouldn't make the team better, so what's the package that makes sense.

4.5mil isn't overpaying for DeBrusk. Plays special teams and scores 20 goals, that's market value.

Thread: Bruins

Ullmark might be available for that, but I don't think they'll want a G prospect back. Goalie depth in the AHL is bursting with 3 backup caliber guys already, so no need to take on another

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>I imagine that came from a value perspective (in which it is more than fair).

But I have since looked at the UFA LD class which is underwhelming, and this view comes from a team needs perspective.

The value is still fair I just don’t see an easy way to find not 1 but 2 quality LD that we’d need if we traded Siegs</div></div>

Yeah and most likely, any LD the Devils go after, the Bruins would be after also with more cap

Luke hughes and.... who? Unless there are 2 quality LD on the way NJD can't afford to lose Siegs, even tho he struggled last year</div></div>

Your exact words in response to my post back then was:

"I’d do that even tho I’d hate to see siegs go"

What changed?

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 21 at 12:55 p.m.

Thread: Random Thought

I'd toyed around in an ACGM about doing something similar, using Ullmark to basically get a LD2 and a 2nd round pick. In that scenario it was Siegenthaler and a 2nd for Ullmark with a couple other pieces, who is a better fit than Wallman to play with Carlo I think. I don't think it's enough for Boston in this scenario.

No thank you, you may pay PLD for 8.5m for the 65 points he may get 4 out of the next 8 years, we are not interested

Thread: Retool for 2025

To move Swayman, a top 6 C or a first need to be the cornerstone of the deal. That package would work for Ullmark 100% but not Swayman.

Thread: Fixing Aves

Bruins probably accept that. Money for Colton isn't great but he could fit into the top 6. Better package than a lot of the ones for Ullmark I've seen

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 12 at 9:18 a.m.

Thread: offseason

I don't love it. Someone will pay Gryz more, Swayman will sign 8 years and less money. 7.5 would make him the 5th highest paid goalie in the league (excluding Price) and those guys all pay workhorse roles, 60ish games a season, which Sway has never done. I have no doubt he could do it, but they won't guarantee him that much until he does.

That's an old top 6. Coyle, Marchand, Stephenson, and Marchessault will all be over 30 with term left to their deals which blocks younger guys and will only depreciate. I get trying to "win now" but this is for a 2 year new window, when there's no reason to really do that. If they move Ullmark, they bank on the primes of Pasta, Sway, Zacha, Carlo, and McAvoy to be a solid 4-6 year of being truly competitive. Need some young talent to add to that.

He out up 65 points and yes he's older, but he's 33. This is through his Marchand age season.

Thread: Sam Bennett and Juuse Saros

I'm sensing your audience doesn't want Saros for what you're asking. Can I interest you in a different 30 year old goalie you can get for a more reasonable package? Because Ullmark and J. Boqvist for Siegenthaler, a 2nd, and a LW prospect is totally on the table.

Thread: Bruins Post Marchand

You are the 2nd guy I see giving Derek Forbort a contract extension and a raise... what game do you people watch? Wotherspoon is cheaper and better, Forbort is GONE. Heinen gets more, PLD is a cancer, Swayman should only be moved for a stud and PLD is not one, you're not putting Poitras on the wing, and we already have 2 AHL goalies who can backup just as well as Allen who commands way more money.

Thread: Resign Henien please and thank you

People are giving you a lot of crap, but I like this. IF the Bs are going to move Ullmark, the Devils make sense. I'm sure people will argue prospects all day, but a 1st, a B+/A- prospect or fringe NHLer, and a mid round pick is the best package the Bs could ask for.

I love going after McNabb, he and Carlo would be a great pairing, and I think capitalizing on VGK overpaying Hanafin is the way to go. There are literally 15 LD coming on the market in the 25 offseason, if 5 of them make it to FA, the Bruins can capitalize and get a long term add there.

Boqvist might demand a bit more, Swayman deal is perfect, love giving Heinen term over cap (definitely need him back), DeBrusk might test FA for that but he should take it if he wants to come back. Highly doubt Lindholm takes a 1 year deal though.

Thread: Bruins

Unless the Avs are literally trying to replicate what Boston did with Swayman- Ullmark, I don't see a need for then to add Ullmark. Other backups who can eat into Gorgi's 70 games/season who aren't that expensive. But, I don't have the package

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 5 at 10:38 a.m.

Thread: Next Season

Love the effort but literally every single signing makes no sense.
-Swayman gets 8 years
-Hanafin isn't worth 8
-Samsonov is a waste of a spot, money, everything. Our AHL backups are better
-JVR gets more elsewhere.
-Zacha is worth 3x that
-Ullmark won't go to the west coast, RNH won't go to the east coast and honestly he isn't a good fit. We need a true #1 and he's a 2/3 on a good team.
