Thread: This would be the perfect offseason - thoughts

Dont see BOS moving Coyle or MIN moving Rossi

Like Necas as a target, but not Lindholm at that term

Theres better 3LD options than Aho and Id think Bussi would beat out Martin Jones for backup spot, the 34yo veteran goalie can sit in Providence, rather see what they got in Bussi

This is a good team you constructed though, much improvement in the top 9

Thread: Lets Dream

Some will say not enough for Draisaitl, others will say its too much, all depends on if its 1 year or an extension is signed, but the Carlo for Ceci swap is definitely a no

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 10:31 p.m.

Thread: Let Me Cope

Bruins accept yesterday

Cant see Stammer settling for as low as 5mill and Griz getting as high as 4mill

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 10:04 p.m.

Thread: 2024-25 v4

Maroons on ice presence is basically useless, his mentorship is the only decent reason to keep him around and even then, league min might not be worth it, could be better options on the market

Zadorov is going to get absolutely paid by some team looking for toughness on the back end, but hes no better than a 3rd pairing guy (which is not worth anything close to 5 mill)

Duchene would be a decent flyer for the Bruins to take, but maybe only for 1 year since next years FA class is much more loaded and he isnt a long term solution at C

Dont think either team does Tkachuk deal, too much to give up for BOS (especially Carlo, Bruins love him) and OTT shouldnt be looking to move him anyway

Lindholm > Matheson and Beecher > Struble, trade makes BOS much worse and those two teams dont trade anyway

Forum: Armchair-GMSun. at 3:50 a.m.

Thread: Bruins 2425 Season

This is a very realistic offseason for Boston

Resigning JD, giving Sway the bag, and signing Lindholm/acquiring a top 6C along with a tough bottom 4 Dman are the obvious moves IMO, and the contracts you gave everyone are pretty accurate to their market value

The Ullmark trade is good too, both the return and the team, although wouldnt be surprised if the return were slighlty more underwhelming for 1 year of Ullmark

Other than a few lineup decisions, overall this is pretty solid, well done

Thread: Run it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlTintin1122</b></div><div>Brady

Boston 1st

Should be the absolute max.

Brady and 7th is McDavid level offer minus secondary pieces</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StutzlesNumber1Fan</b></div><div>You right, I just value McAvoy very highly lol</div></div>

That would be a hell of an enticing offer for Mac, theres just no reason for either franchise to move their cornerstone pieces

Very fun food for thought tho

Thread: Ehlers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shmael47</b></div><div>Ehlers is great but that's a lot of assets for 1 year. They'd have to extend him. After letting DeBrusk go, you'd still be short a top 6 player (hopeful on Poitras as well but I think the jury is still out).</div></div>

Agreed, I acc like Ehlers as a JD replacement, but its a lot for 1 year of him

Also dont think Zacha is a full time C

2.25m for Heinen is probably fair value, but not for a 4th line role and not in Boston

If they resign Forbort the entire fanbase goes on strike

Forum: Armchair-GMWed. at 4:18 p.m.

Thread: retool on the fly

Mercer and Johnson likely arent available, especially at those prices

none of those UFA signings are good ideas except JD, who gets more $

Reilly Smith disrespect for a 6th

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 12 at 5:26 p.m.

Thread: Offseason

Dont hate the Ullmark trade tbh, would prefer a 1st going to BOS over Holtz, but definitely not a bad trade

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 12 at 5:24 p.m.

Thread: Bruins Rebuild after watching game 3

I think Id prefer every single guy you traded away over every asset you acquired tbh, just a far worse team overall

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Boston does not make any of these trades.

Doubt they resign Grizz

Heinen gets a lot more than that.</div></div>

What he said^ and JD probably gets less

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 12 at 4:49 p.m.

Thread: Leon wants out

A fever dream to acquire Draisaitl, and doubt they move Lindholm in the process, and thats probably not enough of a return anyway

No need for DeMelo, Mac Carlo Peeke is the right side of the defense next szn

I think there are better options than Kane for top 6 wingers in FA

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 11 at 11:53 p.m.

Thread: Massive turnaround in free agency

Signing Guentzel and Lindholm, and resigning JD along with trading for Rossi seems pretty optimistic. 3 top 6 forwards and a 3C (future top 6C hopefully) would be insane roster construction for 1 summer

Probably a little short $ on DeBrusk and Lindholm, and MIN likely wont accept that

Gonna need another Dman too with 6 Dmen on a 21 man roster

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 11 at 9:59 p.m.

Thread: Game 4 lineup

Agree with everything in the description. Dont think too much was expected of them going into the year, but after seeing how they performed for the first chunk of the szn, definitely felt like 2nd round was achievable. Now theyre showing that they are clearly not one of the top dogs in the NHL this szn and they cant compete with the high end teams

Id go Heinen over JVR if hes healthy and move Lauko to 4th line. Those 6 Dmen you have in are the only option IMO, Forbort, Griz and Shatty just cant keep up with the pace and physicality

Hopefully big improvements are made this summer

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 10 at 11:41 a.m.

Thread: 24-25 Bs Tkachuk

Not that OTT should have any interest in trading Tkachuk, but thats not gonna be enough. Lysell and 1st is a good starting point, but you need to add more pieces of value

Maroon and Shatty are 1 and dones, no need to bring them back

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 5 at 4:53 a.m.

Thread: 24-25

I dont think Id trade Forbort for that package, let alone Ullmark and Peeke

Shatty and OEL are garbage, there are much better options

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 5 at 4:36 a.m.

Thread: Kings Reload

Nobody is going to take PLDs contract, guy is a nuisance, a hint would be that you said "get rid of"

Freddys also pretty valuable, would take quite a bit to pry him from BOS

Ullmark is very available tho

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bliker</b></div><div>Fiala + 2nd for Ullmark + Debrusk (or another middle 6 winger) would work for the Kings IMO. Fiala is cost controlled so he has significantly higher value than UFA Ullmark. Swayman would be closer to a 1-for-1 since he's younger</div></div>

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 4 at 3:13 a.m.

Thread: Need your thoughts - MTL NYI TBL CAR BOS NSH OTT Fans

For Ullmark, in order of preference:

Byfield
Kempe
Fiala

not much interest in anything else tbh, and I know all 3 of those guys are likely untouchable

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 4 at 3:08 a.m.

Thread: next year - stamkos

Would be absolutely stunned to see Stamkos play anywhere other than TB

Shattys a one and done, no reason to bring him back

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 4 at 2:38 a.m.

Thread: Weegar

Carlo fits the Bruins timeline and CGY wont move Weegar

Ullmark return is probably optimistic

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 4 at 2:34 a.m.

Thread: A Delusional Devils Fan

Cant see Ullmark costing much more than Holtz, maybe a mid round pick, but not that much

Thread: Another kick at the can

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJTM</b></div><div>Toffoli isn’t going to sign for that. The devils tried to extend him and he wouldn’t take a three year contract. He probably needs at least $5M per season and he’s targeting at least 5 years. I don’t know if he’s gonna get that, but he probably turned down the contract you gave him in New Jersey.</div></div>

Ya I realized shortly after that 4.2 was probably low-balling it. Figured hes on the wrong side of 30 and just had not the greatest playoff series. Could easily tack on another million or so, which is why I left 2m in cap to spare

Thread: Another kick at the can

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>I think lindholm lost his shot at 8 mill.
He hasn’t lost his defence but everyone knows offence is what pays so I’d say he’s more around the 7 mill mark.</div></div>

Not a fan of signing him in general, either at 8m or 7m, but FAs typically get overpaid come July 1st

7m is definitely more reasonable tho

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 30 at 6:53 p.m.

Thread: Spoked B Stammer

Stamkos isnt leaving TB, especially not for Boston, and he cant play center

Zadorov will get overpaid by someone, hopefully not the Bruins and he is not a top pairing guy

Sway, DeBrusk, and Ullmark transactions are pretty accurate

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 30 at 6:06 p.m.

Thread: Bruins Offseason

Too much for Ullmark, a 1st alone is about right

no interest in signing any of those FAs except maybe DeBrusk (thats a high price tho) and maybe Heinen, everyone else can go elsewhere
