JDB extended. 2 yrs/4M per.
Very likely this is to facilitate a trade.

Senyshyn and a 5th to Ottawa for big defenseman Josh Brown and a conditional 7th (turns into a 6th if Senyshyn plays more than 5 games)
Brown kinda stinks but he’s tough and will add depth. Basically just tinordi 2.0

Very disappointing final day before deadline. Love the Lindholm move, but it seems like they gave up an extra 2nd to get them to retain salary and then we never used it.
Could ave used another forward and a bunch of them were flying around in the last 24 hours and we failed to land one.

I see that narrative going around that we paid a 2nd for retention when that’s simply not the case. I’d say we dumped a 2nd to get rid of John Moore’s deal, getting retention for half a season of Lindholm absolutely didn’t cost a full 2nd though
I’m a little frustrated by the lack of forward help but the only deal I would have taken was maybe the Domi one, and even then he may have been a nonstarter for them character-wise. Nobody else moved made me wish the Bruins had done that
I give them a B for the deadline season overall

After some thought this trade deadline isn’t all that different from the Sox trade deadline

I mean, they really needed a C both for now and the future. Even Domi was a stretch to be that guy. Otherwise, Giroux turned you down, Hertl signed . . . What else did we miss on?
Copp? Nice but a pure rental that came at a stiff price (one that was hard to pay after trading for Lindholm).
Based in the prices paid, standing pat was probably best.

Sweeney does have a lot of work to do next offseason and it largely hinges on what PB37 does.
- If he retires**, you need 2 Cs.
- If he comes back, you need 1 again.
Resources
- 4Mn in space (assuming Wagner buried)
- JDB and his 4mn as trade bait
- LHD depth to trade from (really feel like 1 of Grzelcyk and Reilly is traded)
- Foligno, Haula can be bought out or buried (especially if you get 2 Cs)
- Trading Ullmark would, at least, require retention and I'd only do it if you don't have to give an asset away. The following year (when sway is an RFA) would likely be both easier AND more necessary.
** - I know there is another scenario related to this one but my fingers refuse to type it.

Not sure why Haula would be bought out or buried, he’s a useful NHL player. Been producing since being put at 2C, had a good night tonight. Foligno may be a goner though
There’s absolutely a team out there that would trade for Ullmark. He’s a solid goalie, not spectacular. Some teams would kill for that though lol. The tricky part is his NTC.
Debrusk should be easier to move and have more value now that he’s signed. I bet they could have gotten a 2nd for him but figured they could probably make the same trade at the draft
If they move Grzelcyk or Reilly we have Ahcan that can provide offense for cheap, I think they like him a lot
I’m excited about the future of this top 4 if Lohrei works out though
Lindholm-McAvoy
Lohrei-Carlo
Are some BIG BOYS. 3 of them have a good transition game too

A Haula buyout/bury would only be part of an offseason where you get 2 top 6 centers (Ideally Bergy and another) and you need room to accomplish that.
Just meant it as a tool, if needed, to fill offseason goals.
Sorry if that wasn't clear.

On Ullmark, I'd think as he becomes more of the backup than a tandem (as is happening), his willingness to waive might increase.
It becomes less restrictive in subsequent years (16 team no trade list in 23; 15 team in 24).

I like what they did at the deadline and don't really think another wing was needed.
They got a really solid left Dman that they have been searching for a long time and a bruiser that will help with depth in the playoffs.
As long as Patrice is not in any serious danger with his infection I really like him getting a breather. The B's are winning without him which is a big deal and him being healthy/rested for the playoffs is huge.
As far as the offseason goes, I think the B's realize this window is closing and they are going all in. They will still have some really strong talent and won't need a rebuild but as PB and Marchant age so do the chances of winning a cup. But like I said they have some good talent just not enough to contend for a cup.

Yeah I feel like one of them is a goner. Possibly even 2 of them.
Grzelcyk has the most value by far. Can probably get a 3rd or a 4th for Reilly/Forbort. Ppl complain about their contracts but $3 mill ain’t bad for an established #5 defenseman (I think both of them are that)- the deals are definitely movable
They have Ahcan to be a Grzelcyk replacement and I think they like him a lot. I don’t think they’d ever play to the two in the same lineup without injuries

Sweeney did a good job at the deadline gettting a legit defensemen. But I haven't been too happy with him . the offseason wasnt his best at all.
i know now the goalie tadem is good but i thought we should of kept both kids at goalie. We'll see but this offseason he has work to do. I dont know if he should be trusted.
I like to see this kid Lysell .

After one period I’m really loving Lindholm’s game

Big win tonight.
Lindholm- awesome in debut. Obvious why so many were excited about the pick up.
Pasta- He's getting the hang of this goal scoring thing.
Swayman- Huge.
Frederic- Nothing on the score sheet, but he impressed me tonight. He's really coming on.
Studnicka- Also impressive. Hope he gets a few more games somehow (not wishing injury trouble on Bergy, obviously)
On the downside, the PP was pathetic and Marchand looked completely off his game.
Another ridiculous game by the refs. That call on Swayman was, again, one of the more ludicrous you'll see.
And Kucherov hanging over the boards, the puck hits him, so they blow the Bruins play dead, but don't call a penalty because I guess TB is allowed to have a 7th player just interfering with the play? WT actual F?

Frederic has been night and day since being put with Coyle and Smith, he’s a bonafide top 9 power forward lately. That’s super valuable.
Lindholm was sensational, if he plays like that all the time we have 2 #1 defensemen
Shoutout to Taylor Hall. His battling in front has once again led to another clutch goal.
Erik Haula at a 57 point pace since being moved to 2C

This team has my playoff hopes climbing. They just need to avoid playing Carolina or figure out how to combat what they do.

The playoffs will be brutal because the east is stacked, the 8 playoff teams in the east are all in the top 10 of the league. Also a bit of a changing of the guards with Boston, Tampa, and Washington in the 6/7/8 spots.

Another good W today. The only bummer was seeing TB down late to Detroit and coming back to win in OT. Oh well.

Great great game. Only picked up a point on TB, but better than losing a point to them.
Honestly, TB seemed the better team most of the night and got a terrible call from the refs (guy pummeling Haula's head against the glass, Haula swings, dude swings back.. penalty on Haula only). Ullmark was huge. Star of the game, imo. Kept them in when they were being dominated for stretches.
Big GW Goal by Coyle.
Also impressive tonight- DeBrusk, Marchand, Lazar, Clifton
Not so much- Frederic, Reilly

Frederic’s been great lately on that 3rd line, I attribute it (edit: last nights struggles) to coming back from being banged up
Ullmark got us the two points. Stole that one

Ugh. And now an L when we felt like the better team.
Not a great game from Ullmark. First two goals were really on him.
Power Play needs to be fixed. It's easy to see the big problem. Guys with shooting lanes are passing up shots and then passing into heavy traffic. And I don't get why, with Pasta out, they don't keep DeBrusk with his line mates. Could keep the first line plus Hall as the top unit and that clicking 3rd line together with Haula for your second PP unit. Instead, they have Coyle on the top unit and are Frankensteining second group.
Really time to stop messing with McLaughlin oil the 2nd line. He doesn't belong there.
Gryz leaves hurt. Injuires starting to be a worry.
