I think we sign Sway, JD, Heinen, Shatty, and maybe make a splash for Stamkos seeing him getting old, not producing as much, gonna be signed for less money, we also need a center
I feel like I’m going crazy. JD is not close to 6 million. The guy should not be making perennial 30 goal scorer money. Don’t let the recency bias fool you, the guy should be making 4.5-5.5 mil if he wants to be here
The cap is going up. You'll find the players that that most effects are actually not the top guys or the bottom guys but middle guys. A guy that should have been 5 a few years ago should be 6 now. I don't personally like Jake or his time in Boston. But he is a 20 goal guy. He is a speed guy. He's become an excellent two way guy. He plays in every situation and plays every situation well. He produces like a low end second line player. He gives you PK specialty like a third line role player. He gives you PP time like a skill winger. Those attributes add up. He's also not old and while he doesn't give you close to 82 games most seasons he's also never missed the majority of a season either. All of that stuff adds value. There's money for Jake out there above 6 guaranteed. The bigger question is what does he want and what is his number. If he cares more about winning and being in a favorable situation, if he cares more about cashing in, we'll see how it goes. As it stands right now it sounds like Boston gave him the Krug treatment. He got a "final offer" to take or leave and all reports seem to indicate he'd choosing to leave. I still think he might take a team friendly deal for Edmonton but otherwise he'll get paid.
I hate it when guys have really down years going into free agency and expect and usually get a big raise. You're numbers sound right to me. But he'll get his raise somewhere.
I know this is about re-signings but other than Sway, I do nothing until free agency. You need a center above all else. Why bog yourself down with replaceable players' contracts. Plus there will be chances to upgrade. After that then let's see.
Interesting takes on free agency thus far, always appreciate ur take IMHO: Sway is a no brainer however I’d love to see the Ullmark tandem continue, keeps the hotter goalie fresh come playoff time. JD: off him, just didn’t perform enough when it mattered most, never took that next step we needed, if he takes a discount at 4-5 range, he’d be worth it Maroon: great character but agree: too slow JVR: worth 1-2 mill Boqvist and Heinen I like in the bottom six which should be
@@gamingsquad2326 how many missed shots/missed chances in the panthers series tho? That breakaway would’ve changed that game Great player, but is he worth 7 mill? Not IMO
Ullmark is good, but you can't play 2 goalies at the same time, why not use him as a trade chip to get help upfront or draft picks and use the cap space to sign someone to help in other areas.
No one coming up through Providence? Regula was one of the best dmen of the year last year in the AHL and they have a couple of other guys too. Shattenkirk to me makes no sense. Lohrei is your offensive look dman of the future and frankly the future is now. Let that kid have his reps.
Regula would be a nice surprise to see in the mix next year. After him I don't think we have anyone close to ready. I won't act like I'm an expert but Jackson Edward is probably a few years out, Myrenberg is still overseas. I truly think we'll need a cheap NHL ready player to sign, aka Shattenkirk. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comment!
@@ICBBRUINS Ty Gallagher is a player who's game could potentially translate right away from college. Assuming that when he's done with college they can get him signed. Reilly Walsh also had a pretty good year. All of those guys are rights. Which normally wouldn't be ideal but it's a lot harder to find good rights. So frankly that's a good problem to have.
Debrusk is gone, forbert is gone , griz is gone. If we can trade them, do it. Ullmark to utah for chychrun and a pic. I bet he waves the nmc because utah is gonna be a good team. The owner will spend. Heinen and maroon stay. Give swayman whatever he wants. Shattenkirk, see ya later. If we can trade debrusk,ullmark,and griz for draisatl , then give thst a go. And grabbing chsndler stephenson from vegas is key until we can hopefully get drais in free agency
Heinen for no more than $1.5 M and DeBrusk around $5-5.5 M , if they want more let them go. As for the other UFA guys, Grzelyck, Forbort, Shattenkirk and Maroon, I hope they let those guys all ride off into the sunset.
I think the Bruins should resign Maroon you have to remember he wasn't 100% last year after back surgery so we didn't really get his full potenial, Debrusk needs to go guy way to inconsistent he great at times but awful at times and when he bad he really bad so I say it time the team finally gets rid of him. As for free agents I would love Sam Reinhart and Jonathan Marchessault those two together will make the Bruins an unstoppable force and i think the Bruins might have enough cap space too get both of them and Elias Linholm too we get all 3 of them by trading Ullmark away were wiining the cup next year no doubt about it and last I do not want Tyler Bertuzzi back he an idiot and isn't the most skilled player either plus he was an annoyance in the first round this year Anthony Duclair okay but he not excatly the type of player that can really change a team doesn't help he keeps getting traded to a different team every year so he also a no for Boston as well.
sweeny needs to go NOW-he has screwed this team up trading away top draft picks for rentals&stiffs-fire him&neely now.get some scouts who actually know talaent and how to build a championship team because right now the bruins are clearly not that!
Players I’d like to see coming back next season- Grzelcyk, DeBrusk, Ullmark, Swayman, I’d be fine with a 6.5-7M/6Y deal for Deebs. Griz- 5M/3Y. Sway/Ullmark- 9/8. (4.5 each). I believe that’s inside the box. “What about the other spots?” Like it’s been happening for years now. Juggling. Obviously the prices of players will be different, but. I don’t want to lose those 4 mainly. Love to see JvR and Heinen come back as well, with Boqvist. Maroon, Shattenkirk and Forbort are great players, but. Can’t see them staying, even if they all played Bruins hockey. Especially JvR and Maroon during PlayOffs. We are NOT going for Reinhart. I like Marchessault but he stays a Knight imo. Also not lowering team IQ by bringing the other mongoloid in. Though I liked Bert when he was with Pasta. I don’t know why everyone hates on Grizz and Deebs. Granted I initially didn’t like him when he requested his trade, but. Quickly came back to loving him. He’s streaky, sure…however name a Bruin goal scorer who ISNT. Pasta. We are not getting rid of him, yet he didn’t show up come Playoff time. DEBRUSK AND MARCHAND DID. People who hate on Deebs, hated on Krejci too. “Doesn’t show up” yet; he’s vital to team success.
matt grzelcyk doesn't deserve close to $5M he couldn't crack the playoff roster, hes too soft, I would be annoyed if we brought him back for more than league minimum, he got a good contract from us a few years back, time to move on from him
@@Daniel-ub7bs just because we tried playing Bruiser vs Bruiser, doesn’t mean Grizz should be given to a NCAA hockey team. Sure, $5M may be generous, but. I would say he has earned it.

Even 5.5 mill is pushing it
Heinen and DeBrusk!!! For the right money. Yep.
Maroon for league minimum as a 13th forward
I'd hate to waste cap on more stragglers. Some of the bottom 6 guys like Heinen or Geekie could be do for regression.
@@ICBBRUINS lmao you ain’t getting a cheaper 13th forward
And you need a 13th/14th forward + good for the locker room
Shattenkirk deal is crazy to me imo.
Hopefully Sweeney doesn’t make the same mistakes as last year
Yes I thought they would get Bertuzzi back after trading Taylor Hall.😢
They had no cap space last year. Sweeney actually did amazing in the bargain bin.
No jd no not 6.2
Bring back DeBrusk and sign a first-string centre who can win a faceoff and score.

@@bearforce187 yup I hear u, great option, I see the benefit of it

And trade Jake 🤷🏽♂️

Debrusk will get a better offer from another team. 19 goals and 25 assists, he’s not worth $6:2 million. Would love Sam Reinhardt and a 1 Center.
Debrusk gone for more money from another bigger money bye jd
Sign none of them. I'd say start the rebuild.
