Jake DeBrusk, Danton Heinen, Pat Maroon, and other Boston Bruins Free Agents: Who Stays, Who Goes?

[@DeanM915]

Agree with the defense let Grz and Forby walk, keep Shatty if you can for cheap or find a comparable. On offense I let DeBrusk walk, he wants too much for what he can do and we don’t have it. Heinen used to irk me but this go round I like him… $2M AAV is enough tho, I’d try to go $1.5, $2, $2.5 over the 3 years to get it to $2. JVR I’d wait and see if you can get him for cheap at the end if not find a comparable. Richard and Boqvist I’d like to give another go. If you can get the. Cheap enough. Maroon is going to have to wait to see what we have left in cap… I think their focus this year is a 1C that can do enough for the right money, Elias Lindholm. Use the young guys and maybe some cheap solutions so save as much cap as you can to go after a big dog like Draisaitl next year. As for needing cap this year everyone always talks about Ullmark… I’d say free up Hampus Lindholm and get a cheaper D he’s fizzled out to me.

Ian agree with you on jvr may be on Debrusk but he's going to Canada for sure definitely keep Heinen, bye bye Maroon unless it's for cheap, just too slow

[@mike8099m]

Heinen two mil max I’d rather him at 1.6 I’d rather give more time to brazeau then jvr. Maroon I resign low cost.

[@Neil-ym8vy]

I would rather see Heinen gone. To free up more money.

[@mike8099m]

@@Neil-ym8vy I’m good with that too. Only reason I’m ok with the 1.6 is cause he stayed around til the bruins could make room for him. He didn’t have to do that

[@Neil-ym8vy]

Carter V is the man. I'd definitely throw a number at him! Carter V and Anthony Richard on the same line.

People don't seem to realize that we have a really good team here and it will not take much to make this team into a real contender. We don't need to go scorched Earth with this team. We need a elite 1-C (Poitras is an unknown. He could turn out to be too small and vulnerable) and that alone will be a drastic improvement. It's pretty sad that so many fans don't know enough about hockey to know that Jake DeBrusk is a fantastic player and he should stay around for 6 million. There's no way we let him go. You're right he should stay. He was the best player in the playoffs this year, and was excellent last year as well. He's fast, he's smart, he sees plays develop. He works really hard when he's needed. And when he's needed the most, in the playoffs, he delivers in spades.

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Now mention the things he doesn't do well

[@daverattigan8804]

Agree with stein, but keep Richard

[@Neil-ym8vy]

Nana Na Na hey hey don't let the door hit you on the way out Debrusk!

[@robc1961]

Maroon stays because he will play for entry 💰.

[@NatPat-yj2or]

Maroon really said that?? Wow. Dude if that's how he feels, he need to stick around! Anyone with a career like his, that had the best experience with this team so far, absolutely needs to stick around. Pay him 2 million - 3 million and I'm perfectly fine with that. If Ullmark wants to stay and is willing to take a reduced paycheck, then by all means, friggin keep Ullmark around. To sum up my comments... Keep DeBrusk, Maroon, Ullmark if the price is right. Keep Heinen for 2 million. Zacha needs to go though. He really really needs to go. He's the most useless forward and hes part of the problem.

[@Neil-ym8vy]

Anthony Richard should have been a full time Bruin this year. They couldn't do any worse.

[@Neil-ym8vy]

What?! Did you watch the Bruins in the playoff this year? Are we watching the same team? They definitely need to retool their offensive lines to be more competitive next year.

[@Neil-ym8vy]

I totally disagree besides Wotherspoon, Peeke and McAvoy they are very weak on defense.

Sweeney will screw it up. The 2015 draft debacle. Backes, foligno, beleskey and many more dumb signings. Now prepare for a bunch of 35yr olds being signed like kane toffoli which we do not need.

[@Neil-ym8vy]

Pasternak is not a core guy. He is a clown. I trade him for someone that can actually produce in the playoffs! Pasta and crap for brains!

[@daverattigan8804]

Going to have to listen to this again I thought you changed your mind on Debrusk? they need all the money they can get to get David some help on left wing

[@daverattigan8804]

Glad you corrected yourself on complimenting the core... David pastrnak will have a 9 million or more dollar hopefully left winger to take the pressure off of him

[@ricardofranco7461]

lucic comes back

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Sweeney dont
