Boston #NHLBruins offseason preview: Roster: 17 (10F/6D/1G) Cap Hit: $65.99M Cap Space: $21.71M Notable RFAs: J Boqvist J Swayman Notable UFAs: J DeBrusk J van Riemsdyk P Maroon D Heinen M Grzelcyk D Forbort K Shattenkirk M Lucic Draft: 4th x1 5th x1 6th x1 What are we doing ? Notable RFAs: J Boqvist - Yes. Should come cheap. J Swayman - Yes - lock up long term - Ullmark will be out and you'll have a backup on an ELC so there's your extra $$$ to get this done. Notable UFAs: J DeBrusk - Yes. If he ends up walking, go get Bertuzzi. J van Riemsdyk - No. We can't have too many of these mid 30s - past their prime guys. P Maroon - No. He can't even skate anymore. He's washed in my opinion. D Heinen - Yes - I'd be willing to go for a 3 year deal here (2-3 million per)- he's got some good hockey left in him and he was incredibly useful for us this year. M Grzelcyk - No. It's over. Move on. D Forbort - No. Too injury prone. Too many hard miles on him. K Shattenkirk - I like the flexibility to have another PP guy and always need some d depth so if you can get him on a 1 year deal again I think you do that. M Lucic - I am a yes but I know that we probably won't do it. Perhaps having Brazeau emerging now makes it easier to let Lucic go for good. How does Sweeney round out the roster and who does he get to address the #1C gap we all know we have now? Do we go get a guy like Chandler Stephenson or Sean Monahan and kind of do a #1C by committee? Zacha and Coyle show flashes, Poitras should only get better and better. If the answer is PL Dubois or Elias Lindholm, I don't like it.

Boston #NHLBruins offseason preview: Roster: 17 (10F/6D/1G) Cap Hit: $65.99M Cap Space: $21.71M Notable RFAs: J Boqvist-Yup. He was a good add. Kid has fire and i think he thinks the game well. J Swayman Of course #PaySway. He deseves it and they guys play well with him. We have Bus in the pipeline, we're ok letting Linus go. Notable UFAs: J DeBrusk-You know how i feel. Let him go. I think Bertuzzi pick up,cuz hes a baller. I feel like Jake hit his ceiling. J van Riemsdyk-Meh... P Maroon Yes. If he's cheap, bring him in. He enjoys it in Boston and I don't think hes a liability. Move him in March if hes a prob. D Heinen Yes. He has a hockey IQ that's high and he makes smart plays M Grzelcyk Nope. He played his way off the team and i think he hit his ceiling in Bosston's system. Good luck on the sabres D Forbort I think he's too fragile. he was playing a good game for a while, but I think he sort of got lost. Plus, injuries... K Shattenkirk-Sure. specialists are always useful M Lucic Are you kidding, no. hes old, plus it'd be a terrible distraction. Rather have Bert Draft: 4th x1 5th x1 6th x1 What are we doing ?

I imagine both sides work that one out soon here.

The 4 stooges have a press conference at 1:00 today. Do they say anything insightful...or more of the blowing smoke up our asses. Someone in the media needs to grow a pair and ask some tough questions.

In his opening statement to the media, Bruins CEO and Alternate Governor Charlie Jacobs stated that there is "no expectation of personnel changes coming" in the offseason.

Sweeney on DeBrusk: "We took an aggressive position with Jake...is there a path? Yeah there's a path...he's been a big part of our group and I would prefer to have Jake.

Sweeney on DeBrusk talks: “Negotiations are a two-way street.” Says they took an aggressive approach with him. Reading between the lines is we offered him 4 mill and he wants 6

It's all a good feeling BUT, it's VERY rare a coach makes a player! A coach can bust a player, but let's be real you're either a Player or a Pretender! JMHO!

Sweeney on DeBrusk talks: “Negotiations are a two-way street.” Says they took an aggressive approach with him. Reading between the lines is we offered him 4 mill and he wants 6 Pretty much , good luck with Sway’s agent then I would offer his an extra million, make it 5 a season and that could work for both sides..He did average just under a pt a game with little help in postseason and These days 5 million dont get you alot so it sure as heck wont get you more lets say 5 years time..5 years 25 million!! Bertuzzi got paid 5.5 million with Leafs and did no better pointwise than DeBrusk who had a down year..I dont see much improvement there if any..Bert more of an agitator, Jake is faster, offense probably evens out..But Bertuzzi costs more?? I would rather Jonathan Marchessault but after his 42 goal season, he'll want 8-9 million..Prices over the roof and only getting worst!!
