Love the clock not sure if I said this yet lol
The Bruins are going to be atrocious next year. Just free agent mistakes after free agent mistakes.
I think your overall take on the B's is dead on. Great video sir.
Zacha couldnt hit the side of a barn
Boston's biggest issue in choosing to go for a rebuild is that they have Pastrnak and McAvoy. The odds that you end up with even one player of their calibre after a rebuild are not good, and if you keep them and they're healthy they WILL drag you to a mediocre season instead of a bad one meaning you're picking in the teens and not the top 5. So retooling is the smart thing to do but Don Sweeney has proven over and over and over that he's a fucking horrible GM and yet still has a job. As long as Neely and Sweeney have jobs this team is going nowhere.
IMO, the Bruins have played this very well. By getting back to a tougher, more physical style, they take pressure off the goalie, and his stock rises. They've positioned themselves well to have most of the contacts/guys they want to move off of will end around the same time, that most of their young talent has developed correctly in lower leagues and are ready to handle the nhl appropriately. As those young guys are working their way into the team, the veterans are already in place to teach them how to play and culture.
Also, yes, the team will compete this year, but do they want them to make the playoffs? No. This draft coming up is huge for a lot of franchises. It's been proven… just make it in the bottom 10 and the "odds" can be in your favor. By"odds" I mean the league lol. Conspiracy moment… why did the bruins raise their prices and not spend a lot of money on a mid level free agent? Higher revenue for the league (league looks kindly on higher revenue teams), and they stay on the lower end of the standings this season. The league likes generational talent to go to big revenue teams. I personally think this is all well orchestrated.
When your line up is filled with contracts that make you scratch your head, guys hoping for bounce backs years removed, and hoping your defense stays healthy for a full season…you're not improving. Should've just saved the cap space for next summer and gotten another top 10 pick. Rough
If Jeannot, Jeannot
Defence was brutal last year. To give themselves any kind of hope, they need to be healthy on the blueline?
Sweeney as usual pissed through a pile of money and got nothing for it. May as well have just lit fire to the money pile. Same ol' Bruins. Stock up on D men then grab a bunch of " He scored thirty goals ONCE " guys. Looks like another dumpster fire this year
This team is screwed until Sweeney and Neely are gone. They build this team like its 2011 but the game is completely different now. Not expecting any success until 2029-2031 when Lindholm and all these other terrible contracts are off the books anyways though (unless the cap jumps massively)
Only team that isnt "retooling" is the Panthers.
Bruins should do Pasta a favor and ship him to a contender for a haul.
They arent anywhere near contention, hence, to to reBUILD.
Recent years have really shown that The Old Boys Club really does have glaring flaws.
From Bostons FO to Bowman somehow landing the gig in Edmonton there are so many examples.
I want to see DiPietro do well. I’ve worked with his dad and met him a few times. He’s a nice guy and a good Essex County boy and I hope he succeeds.
He had some good stats last year in the AHL so I want him to get a look from the Bruins at the NHL level.
That was quite a few "ifs, ands But"
I can't see a scenario where the Bruins are competitive in the next few few years. Since the goalie market is so hot right now if I were the bruins I would seriously considering trading Swayman and just going for the full rebuild.
Sounds like Hagens wants to move up. If he’s thinks he’s ready, fine by me
I know 1st line center is one of the hardest holes to fill but damn this lineup actually isn't too bad at all if they just had a solid even just 1B level center. To me, they should be very aggressive in trying to acquire one because if not you're just wasting Pasta's prime.
The bruins are making a mess … no reason to sign Jeannot or Eyssomant. Waste of cap space and plugging roster spots from guys like Potrais, Minten and Lysell
#MiserableForMcKenna
Tank for Mckenna?
Yep were just retooling and these idiots in the comment section talking about rebuilding please stfu alreay their not rebuilding idc what they say they still got Patsa, McAvoy and Swayman in their primes their not going to rebuild with them you idiots plus our whole defense was injured last year to it a reason we sucked and don't forget swayman missed cmap cause of Sweeney being an idiot as usual why is he still here and no bruins will be back in the playoffs next year idc what these idiots say so enough with the hate you annoying, toxic Bruins can't wait for the bruins to finish top 3 in the division and shut these idiots up go Bs.🐻
Love the Bruins content thank you!!
Break the forwards into pairs. Go from the there..
? Zacha pasta
? Lindholm ardvi
Jeannot mittlestadt ?
? Kastelic eyysimont
Fill in the ?
Hagens is already at Boston College. He needs another year at Boston College. Put up 55-60 points, be in the Hobey Baker race, then sign in March after the Eagles are out and get a few games to end the season with the Bruins
Is this a real headline? Should Bruins fans and management
expect anything else ?
Very fair assessment!!!
Do not forget Albin Boja (UMaine) will mostly likely be coming, onboard…in the next year, or two!!!
Don’t forget Victor Söderström he could make the Bruins D
Trade Pasta to Florida Panthers
You are over valuing some Bruins young players. Poitras, Beecher, Mitten?, up front. Lohrei on the back end.( league worst +/-) Yes, the Bs will have trouble scoring but, the team defense should be much better. If McAvoy and Lindholm are healthy everyone else (Lohrei) get less time.
We’re cooked
Their freefall this past season surprised me. I did not expect them to end up so low – that road record was crazy bad. I dunno what to expect of them next year but I look forward to their next rebrand in 2029.
Swayman needs to play better for sure
Just tank and get a top 3 pick. UFA was horrible in terms of adding. Selling at the trade deadline..
It’s going to be a long cold winter up here
Swayman needs a better/healthier TEAM in front of him.
Back in the hunt?? They are years away from being a contender, they are several good drafts away from being a contender. Swayman is a HUGE question mark…and WAY overpaid.
Wild card or near miss.
Nailed it! I’d be okay with the team looking for more draft capital and writing this season off.
I think Ardvidson and Mittlestat are gone by the trade deadline no matter how the season goes.
Long time fan here. We have been spoiled. I'm okay with tanking for another season or two.
I think the lines what I'd do is:
LW – Morgan Geekie – C – Elias Lindholm – RW – David Pastrnak (Obvious, but the line actually did develop chemistry towards the end of last year. Zacha is the obvious next man up if it doesn't produce because Geekie-Zacha-Pastrnak also had some success last year, so that is an option if he isn't traded)
LW – Casey Mittelstadt – C – Pavel Zacha – RW – Viktor Arvidsson (I don't hate this line, but given that Zacha/Mittelstadt played together down the stretch and neither played well during that time, I'm not excited for this. Also, it feels like one of them could be traded, and probably Zacha given he has higher value? In that case I'd wager Arvidsson-Mittelstadt-Lysell/Blumel/Acquisition)
LW – Tanner Jeanot – Matthew Poitras/Fraser Minten – RW – Fabian Lysell/Matej Blumel (I think the C and RW spots on this line will likely be camp battles. Don't like the Jeannot contract, but it's here. I think Poitras probably wins and if Zacha is traded both Lysell and Blumel likely make the roster as bad as that depth would be on the RW side, or an acquisition is made and the roster is figured out from there. Minten I think would benefit from being the top line center in Providence, because while his defensive game is NHL ready, he really needs PP minutes and top line ice time to develop his offensive game.
LW – Michael Eyssimont – C – Sean Kuraly – RW – Mark Kastelic (I don't know why Beecher is always put in the lineup, he just isn't making the lineup over Kastelic or Kuraly. Maybe over Eyssimont, but I like him more. That said, Beecher could be there and it would be fine.
Extra forwards: John Beecher… maybe Riley Duran? idk
LD – Mason Lohrei – RD – Charlie McAvoy (When they were together this was the only pair that graded out well for Lohrei, and Lindholm doesn't really play with McAvoy. Given that Lohrei-Peeke was pretty bad I would avoid that if I have to, Peeke didn't develop chemistry with anyone.
LD – Hampus Lindholm – RD – Andrew Peeke/Acquistion (In my ideal world, we get Connor Murphy or someone comparable and then Peeke is moved off of. I think this roster can have one of him or Jokiharju, and with him extended long-term it makes sense to find an upgrade on Peeke. Assuming we don't because the Bruins have been radio silent since free agency, I would try this and hope it works.
LD – Nikita Zadorov – Henri Jokiharju (Because it worked? That's really all I got here. Zadorov didn't have nearly as much success with McAvoy as Lohrei did, and his time with Peeke wasn't great either. The eye test with him and Jokiharju feels a little jarring compared to how well the analytics grade out, but I'm fine with trusting that in my third pair.
Extra defenseman: Jordan Harris/Michael Callahan… yeah really whoever.
GK – Jeremy Swayman-Michael DiPietro/Joonas Korpisalo (Not that Korpisalo is bad, his GSAA is about average… but I think it's time to give DiPietro a shot. I feel like there has to be a team that needs a backup goalie and with the cap going up, his contract should get more salvageable.
