"And you know, I'm black and gold through and through, but, you know, I don't have my, uh, drunk glasses on when saying that the Boston Bruins are probably not going to win the cup next year. I also said that this year, and then they had a record breaking season. So, you know, I'm kind of hedging my bet on FanDuel right now. So Grace, are you in or out on Oliver Ekman Larson on a cheap deal? I don't know. I feel we have so limited options that I there's almost nobody. Oh, that's not true. There are people that I would definitely say big no to, but he is. I'll use the word reliable to an extent, because I think that he's not going to crash and burn anything. I don't think he's going to be a superstar. Clearly he's been a lot of places and has not been a superstar even on really bad teams, but he's not the worst player that you could possibly sign on a cheap deal. Um, and so I think that especially if we're really desperate, um, I wouldn't hate to see it. It's not the worst thing I can think of, but I do hesitate to call, you know, to say that if we need a spot, if we have to fill a spot, we have to fill a spot. And if we can do it cheaply with a guy who at least has experience playing on different teams, well, then I think we should do it. Um, so I guess that's where I am. I'm not necessarily all in or all out, but I don't, I don't know. I don't think that I can be picky right now, considering the situation that we're in with Catspace. yeah, So, I think if it was, if my options were to overpay Connor Clifton or buy out Riley and forward and bring this guy for 700 K I'll take that option. Yeah. And, and I don't want to look at this team. Like it's a bridge year. I mean, it's not really a bridge year per se. However, there's going to be a lot of changes and a lot of your best prospects are probably a year plus away, especially on the backend. And there is talent down there, but I just, I don't know, Mason low rise, not ready. So like, you know, I think now is a good opportunity to sort of bridge that with young, cheap veterans that can get you from point a to point B. And again, we're not talking top line minutes. You're going to be down there in that third bottom third pairing, maybe a little bit of special teams, but that's it. Um, I think if anything, that's why he's not going to want to come here. He's going to be like, well, where do I play? Like, when am I going to actually see the ice? Because maybe that's a good thing for him. Maybe he's tired of being a top line defenseman on a crappy ass team. It's like Taylor hall, like Taylor hall was a first line forward underachieving. Maybe he'd rather be a, a third, a third pairing player and, and, you know, take on everybody else's third line rather than have to go out there and bang against the top line every night. So, uh, I don't know. It's an interesting spot, um, sort of sticking with the defenseman here, the other thing that's come up in the last 24 ish hours. And, um, I just have a little bit on it because obviously the Thunderbirds are the St. Louis blues affiliate, um, talk yesterday was that the blues we're going to acquire Kevin Hayes from Philly. Uh, that trade has snagged as of now, mostly apparently around Tory crew who does not want to waive his no trade clause. Um, I don't know how you, uh, try to trade a player like that and then have him say, I'm not going. And then you're like, okay, fine. You can go back and play here. I wonder how severed that relationship is with Tory crew. Um, and I wonder what teams are on his, it's a partial no trade.

"It's hard to completely Bank on him for season. You can say, is to go to the future, but to actually have him be the starter on a team that is looking to go to the Stanley Cup is tough, that's just how it works is dead. But there are some interesting older free-agent options in that. I mean again, halak is officially gone. That is not, he's not returning, he's not coming back. That has been announced crunch. Alan Walsh Meadow for not making a big deal out of it. You know, you just kind of, I think you tweeted it. You said it to someone so not not a huge, you know, picture of Sweeney putting a sword in the bath. La creditas crazy like that. Um, but what is interesting what is interesting is there's one named. That's right, he's not even a free agent he's it's Braden. Holtby out in Vancouver you know Vancouver wants to buy them out and that's one name that's been kicked around. Is may be a guy who come in and no absolutely not. No you don't want Braden holtby near your team. And we said this last offseason we this was people were saying this last offseason in Vancouver went and signed up to 2 years 4 million per awful. And I was looking at the stats last night every single month, Vance, even worse than you think it's worse than you think. It's like I thought he was like bottom climbing. Yeah, yeah, I think he was this horrible and I'm not going to go step-by-step because it's hard to podcast people off. This is is boring. But you can go down the line and he's bottom five in every stat, every single stat. He's bottom five in high danger. Say percentage. Granted yet he was behind a shity Canucks. Defense took. I'll give him that crappy connects defense but hellebuyck's behind a horrible or behind a bad defense in Winnipeg Thatcher. Demko wasn't terrible in Vancouver. Hope he was terrible. Hope he was so awful like the numbers if you want to go check them out. Go to Natural stat trick and look at them yourself. They're terrible. This is not a guy. You want even at a million? A million-and-a-half. I don't care that. You want a cup. A few years ago I don't care that he used to kill you whenever he play you play the Bruins, I don't care. He's not good. Stop with the whole. You know, do the Brewers are going to, you know, sweep in and get Opie on the cheek wage. No let another team. Make a stupid decision like that. Like, like they can ice skating Oliver ekman-larsson, which is also the dump and now having to dump all these hundred. Yeah no. I I was thinking about this yesterday, the Bruins being interested in that and just program to a cold sweat cuz I know the arguments going to be is that he's one. So he's better than Rask when he's been a below below replacement. Level player for eight years now like he's been dogshit. So I know that arguments coming the Bruins somehow get in the mix or there's rumors about it so whether you don't get it, he's a winner. Yeah he has a hidden 897 say percentage, his last two capitals and that's why they replaced him with uh feet Advantage. Check and Sandstone off and all those guys have the Bruins roasted in the offs, that that was a better option on it. And he'll be brought them. But Yeah, if that's a guy that's very concerning whether even if they're eating some of the cap, the Vancouver Canucks and it's a one-year deal. I don't know how you go into it cuz then you go back into the mix of is Braden..

"And welcome in to poke the bear, episode 50. I'm Evan Aronofsky back here with Conor Ryan. Yes, I'm back from vacation, Connor killed it last week, doing it all on his own, which people don't realize is not easy. That's not an easy thing to do, and I'm not that we don't have a lot to say, but talking for forty-five minutes straight is not exactly the greatest thing in the world for the voice box. So, maybe I'll do the majority of the talking today. You're rested up interests up after that. Yeah, the good thing though, Evan is at least we had to talk about like Oliver ekman-larsson and like it's very easy to get wound up as to why the Bruins couldn't get them cuz he's men legit like a garbage over the last like two years like not not like kind of bad like not Lego little Reclamation project know he costs a crap ton of money and my god he has been absolutely Dreadful so long. Riffing off of a bad for about 20 minutes. Did a pretty good job shutouts Oliver ekman-larsson for hopefully contributing into one positive way. He will on any Bruins discussions because if the Bruins get him we're not begrudge it. Just come out that the coyotes are only. They only want to retain like one point two five million of a salary is that one cameras up. Yeah. Which just the latest and just a clown, a clown show operation about there being this is a team that whether it's the fact that they can't even pay off their own bills for their own Arena, Which is far away outside of the actual City of Phoenix, back to having a horrible farm system to all of their absolute, you know, mishandling of the draft, the last couple of years, or some of the guys they picked coupled with effect. They lost their first pick for things like improper. Like draft testing, I don't know. The exact thing is what it was, losing a first-round pick because of it. So now the new thing is moving karna, Galant Homme. Is they don't want to pay a guy who is been their best foot forward for probably the last two years which seems like he's well in line to get a single. I think he's making seven seventy-five thousand last year. So would seem like he's more than do for that. I would say Evan. Yeah not not going to pay that guy, but then trying to still have leverage when you've got a busted off defenseman, you're trying to offload. So great. Rationale, from that team going to see the NHL's can you to prop up a franchise like that, that seems to slowly be dying in the desert. So, yeah, if we open at 5. So just by burying the coyotes but you know what? They deserve it that reference as a joke I guess they were after a hot start just absolutely ripping ripping apart the coyotes which as you said, very well deserved. I mean, just a joke down there. So funny that like Vegas in like four years. Completely overtook them as like the team in the desert. So happy to see that. Yes, Conor Garland as well. That stuff is great. We'll get into that home..

"To hold on to them and try one more time, but I took one last shot defenseman who Bruins should not go after and you've had a chance to talk about this. I have not, it's Oliver ekman-larsson, no way, no, no, thanks this poem. Not even really like people like, well, if you retain part of the salary and you only give up, no, I I don't want that. That's just, that's not the answer, find answer elsewhere with that. I mean, it's one of those situations where I tried to look when when I wrote something about ekman-larsson of the rumors came back up again. It's like trying to find some concessions that both teens can make that could warrant it. Because, you know, I could say in a vacuum like pitching it of like, you know, it's true. It may be the Bruins, get him and he has this second half of rebirth with the new team. It seems like he just wants out. Now needs a fresh. Which can go a long way, I guess. So towards getting a guy kind of reset, and maybe goes to the Bruins and New City Market, but no longer has to be the guy, you know, like he wasn't Arizona kind of similar to Taylor Hall and buffalo. It doesn't have to, you know, be that guy. Maybe he rebounds. But Is you try to compare to the tail whole situation? I could see it, but even if you'll get Tayla who was on a horrid team last year, I took a look at his underlying numbers and you can still see like the the potential there. The guy even though he wasn't maybe putting up the points or the goal especially that you were expecting still was had a lead transition. Numbers would still was great at generating High danger. Chances problem is he had like Casey Mittelstadt to bury his chance, it wasn't bearing chances. So you could see making the argument with like, especially with his contract and and how it was one year deal. No risk of like you know what? This potential day. Let's bring them aboard and he's still take a while. He's still unborn overall, pick. There's a good chance. That he at least becomes a strong-willed top-six guy. If not became kind of what he was during the regular season which was an elite addition to the team and the money was bad. Yes! Yes, exactly. This with a Criminal arson. It's like all right, maybe he's good wage. How good is he going to be? He's not going to be I think 2013 or 2019 ekman-larsson of 22 minutes, a night. I think averaging about 17 goals of season as a defenseman like he's not that kind of player anymore Faith. In, if he rebounds it becomes a serviceable solid second pairing, guiding his numbers. Last few days have just been Dreadful. And it's not even a situation where it's like, well, maybe he's with Arizona and like them. Their system doesn't isn't cater to them, but like, you'll get like, children, how good he was lasted? He was fantastic for the coyotes and pretend to LeapFrog dekhna Larson and the depth chart. There's not like it's just like a situation in Arizona. So it's more individual flavor. I can laugh and slipping..

"Want to make a trade with could see you got like Vince tan getting moved, I like Ben Stein, he's a good player but he's not I can see them getting a guy like Vince tan and Bruins fans not being thrown has been Stones. I think six feet nothing more maybe more of a playmaking guy but pretty solid in his own Zone but I feel if you don't get one of these bigger bodies like like oleksiak or even a McCabe, I want people going to be up in arms so we'll see what they do. But Echo makes the most sense it's going to be whether or not Nashville. Wants to move him at this point, which they didn't do last year. And who knows how this Bruins playoff run would have changed if echoing was available and they spoke to the fence and got him, because he is a legitimate repairing guy that could impact a lot of teams decoders, if he was available, and then we will wrap up with John Simmons Jr. Who says main questions with the Bruins be active in free agency? Will they be pedestrian? Like they have been in years past. I expect them to be very active John. I think especially the writing's on the wall that you probably have one year. Maybe maybe 2 years left of legitimate. Contention. So as I said earlier, you can't do half measures at this point. You need to get at least one or two defensemen out there with its trade or free agency and I think you need to spend big and get a guy like Coleman. Even if it's an over pay those guys make the a world of difference as much as people want to wage. About teams like the blues and how they help muscle the Bruins. You look at the blues, you look at Tampa Bay, you look at, even in like, Montreal this year. One thing they all have in common thoughts of depth and they all have multiple lines that can kill you. Even look at the Islanders, where they've got their bottom six or producing, you can't get through the gauntlet of a playoff, a push without having all four lines being rolling rolling on all four lines and having them contributing. So, for the Bruins, I think the writing's on the wall, you know what the flaws are, you know, how to address this these issues, so proud of spending big, but I think you have to do it through free agency, there's no other real option, unless you want to be stuck in this. Perpetual second-round exit the next year or two until eventually you have to blow it all up. So I think it's a nice option and I think that probably cognizant of the fact that that needs to be done. Another question. From John, who just try to let go and why is it Jake debrusk? So yeah, it's going to be interesting cake. After with the Brusque again, I'm not moving him for the sake of just moving him because I still think there's value there as much as probably shot as terms of, you know, moving him in a trade. But I'm only going to be a tough situation with the Bruins because perfect world you'd like to have him back. Let's say, you haven't back on the left side with coil, maybe he rebounds? Maybe in the post covid-19, he's off not stuck in a hotel room, he gets back to you know, enjoying going to the rink and his game rebounds and he becomes the 20 goal scorer of that..

"Life inclusion, as a finalist. This year wasn't just on off reputation. Like he was In this particular dominant this year, especially in his own zone. So it's unfortunate that he didn't get, that fits selkie. This season got left off. I think 11:00 ballots, just another will say the one made for when evidence here and we can kind of Riff on the the 11 writers who left Bergeron, off the ballot. But in terms of just Bergeron's body of work, I think page him down and arguably the best two-way Center in the in in the league. I mean the guy you could make the argument could have had six or seven. Selkies you have that with Stanley Cup, playoff performances, I just overall production out there on the ice. I think he's a slam dunk. I would be, I'd be very shocked, he's not a first-ballot guy and if he isn't, then whoever's maybe voting for The Suck, is also ones, you know, leading that. Cuz I I mean I think he's above a sure bet as as you as you can get out there. We got one from Aaron Thompson. He says, how much we worry about a possible o e l deal. We obviously cover that early on in the Pod but Aaron, I wouldn't be concerned about it because again, I think there's so much of working against a deal like that working out between the Bruins, especially, I think Flatline, even if it was salvageable, I think you'll get the Bruins cap situation and how many different fires you have to put out in the lineup, unless, you know, Arizona's giving him up for and they're eating you know, two thirds of that contract. The Bruins can't take on a guy like o e l how long it's going to take up a big portion of the remaining cap at this, this offseason as far too many other things they need to do and then are going to bring in a guy, go yell when getting him limits you from getting, let's say a Lexia Core, especially, you know, a Blake Coleman or something like that on the bottom sick. So I wouldn't be too concerned about it. We'll see. We'll see how that changes but dead. So right now I think too many factors working against a deal like that if you're the Bruins, an errand also adds with nearly essentially affirming that they box..

"So you look at X-Men Larson's, you know, game and how it's not turning downward. I mean it's plummeted unfortunately, the last month The seasons coupled with the fact that moving moving him again would be complicated because, you know, you, you're trying to get some wage salary released there. So you don't want to take the full, eight to five million cap hit that. That actually a lot of students going to warn, which is through the 20 26, 27 season. So another year on top of that. So, down from the Bruins where it's not like, you know, X-Men Last Stand or that left that left shot. D is the the one main target you have, right? I mean, you can't allocate all that cap, hit to one guy who who's far from a sure thing, that he's even going to be the guy that you expect him to be. You know, you still gotta deal with re-signing David krejci or Taylor Hall or you've got to look at the situation where do you need? Probably at least another legitimate Winger on the 3rd line that's you know a Blake Coleman or a Ethan like a Brandon Saad or something like that. If he's available, if you want to pay up for Thursday, You look at you know another guy if I need another guy on defense to whether that's a oleksiak or Jake McCabe or or someone like that. So whole bunch of things that brings to take care of so you're not going to bring in Madison for 8.25. And even if you get them for six million, still whole lot to pay for for a guy that might be far away on the downward trend of his career. So unless the Bruins want to get creative and, you know, you get a situation where the, you move some contracts over but like the owner real bad contract, the Bruins have is probably John Morse which you'll get rid of it. If Arizona wants to take that on for a short of a shorter-term deal, but I don't think you're going to move totally clueless contracts. You got a no-movement clause, I don't think he wants to go to Arizona. Maybe it's something where Arizona would be willing to move a, you know, include a sweetener in the deal. So if it's a Kanagawa and maybe wage, You talked about on this podcast before as being a guy that I think the Bruins should Target young player, confirm a switch. From the course right in terms of what the Bruins would be targeting but a very good young player who I think could be a 20-25 goal scorer for a very, very long time in the right situation so far has been ones include home. Maybe you explore that if it's a big a deal then think, you know, maybe both sides can get creative and work out a deal. But as of right now, I think you look at home, even if the Bruins don't trade any trades for any left, you know, left shot D. And let's say they sign oleksiak and McCabe to a value contract. You had those two guys off for probably combined six, six point two, five million? I think that's probably a better bet than trading for ekman-larsson and I'm running the risk of, you know, acquiring this guy that is already damaged goods at this point which at that point considering brings her in a win-now window you can't afford to have a a with like that. Where a guy that you hope is the name. There is by the end of the year, a third pairing option at best for you, which might be what I've been Larson is now and you add in the cap hit again, just not a good bet home..

"Second round, pick something like that. So obviously last year didn't get done between the Bruins cannot. So the coyotes ekman-larsson stayed put and I imagine that the coyotes are probably regarding that quite a bit. They didn't get, you know, you know get him off the books for pennies on the dollar even because he was acting honors, it was pretty Dreadful last year. I mean, you kind of look at equinoxes game and whole bunch of like about them. You know, in terms of, if you kind of know though, the resume that he's had over his, I think eleven years in Arizona guy who played Twenty-One twenty-two minutes a night for a long time. Was a very, very good job. You know, generator of offense from the blue line, which you look at the Bruins and what they're looking for, this office is going to make a meal. He's talked about, we've talked about on this podcast before that off the need to get a legitimate you know, top pairing left shot d. A guy that can average 20-plus minutes a night. Generate offense. I mean from a six-year stretch for economics and from 2013 to 2019 the guy average 16 and 1/2 goals per season. It's not like he's just a guy who just bomb in from the blue-line, like he's a an established playmaker in this league, so from the Bruins perspective and kind of circling back once again, to surprise a very few, the coyotes are looking to move that point laughs. And again, Craig Morgan of easy Cotija cider, who's very well-connected down there said that, you know, once again, coyotes are exploring trade options for ekman-larsson and this this year, I think, especially considering how much last year kind of went off the rails wage. I think there's a mutual understanding between both parties that, you know, I don't think it's going to be as picky with where he goes with that no-movement Clause so I'm sure he wouldn't be thrilled about going to Winnipeg, right? But if there's another team that has a, a good offer, I think probably the the writing is on the wall between ekman-larsson, the coyotes that maybe a change of scenery is kind of the the go to move. Now at this point, considering how things have gone. So from the brunch perspective, you know if you're looking at that change of scenery, you know maybe he's a guy you take a fly around because again we know what ekman-larsson who who's twenty nine years old. You know, we know what he can bring over his last couple of years and if he's the guy that is even 85% of what he was during that, you know, 2013 to 2019 stretch. That's great, right? Especially considering, you're probably not going to have to give up the same amount, would have to give up for a neck home, or Noah hanifin or or one of these other guys where instead of it being, uh, you know, first round pick, you know, debrusk and stood Nika or something like that..

Going to be a little bit different from our normal show off or need any kind of go back and forth going through topics. But you know, we're still going to focus on some of the, the main issues, some of the emerging Trends I guess you want to say going into this offseason. The Bruins namely I guess kind of starting off with a familiar off-season narrative. You follow along last year in Oliver ekman-larsson and the Bruins game. Potential interests in the Arizona Coyotes Captain. So we'll talk about that a little bit and then kind of rounding up the second half of the show. We're going to focus on a few listeners submitted questions that we got through each other, which kind of cover the whole gamut of different things. So, again, a little bit of different show. Hopefully, Evan will have, you know, it's a nice time off. Go to Sunday school down in the cape, shoutouts home school, go to the beach, get a tan and come back and be ready to record. Are podcasts as normal going into next week. So yeah, I guess starting with just kind of dive right into it with all kind of the the main topic. Again, we're in the, the doldrums, I guess you want to say, of of this offseason in terms of, not a lot of tangible news going on right now. And again, that's not going to be the case until probably the end of July. We're going to have some actual legitimate news to talk about because Until we get to I think it's July 21st with the Seattle expansion draft. You're not going to see a lot, a whole bunch of, you know, crazy movies, you know, even trades which can happen before that way. I don't think you're going to see any team significantly augment their Rasta until the the crack and have their pick of all these different players because you're not going to have,.

"Guy who's thirty-three years old, but I think they need to sign at least one of those guys came in, like, McCabe out in Buffalo, who's coming up an injury, but you'll get his metrics, he could be a guy that like, as a, a value third parent guy could end up being very, very good cuz he's a pretty physical guy when he played, he his whole life. It's usually a lot of them are and popping guys on the ice. So so I do think they do need to sign. One of them, like a free Asian guy to bolster, you know, whether that's the third pairing or maybe a second. Tearing. But I think you need a legit as nearly said, like a top-four guy that can anchor anchor as many as as good in his own Zone. And as you can generate offense easier said than done. That's a lot to ask them, you know, to say, yeah, I deal. It's like someone be like, well we could really use like a top-six center like a good two-way guy cuz at least, you know, twenty-five Thirty goals. You know, it'd be great, right? It's like, yeah, sure everyone would love that. So I think for that, that could be something you have to achieve on the trade market which again it's easier said than done. There's you know they could keep the tires again. On that cone know who you know, will see you in Nashville does with him. You could go back to the well with with Oliver ekman-larsson, which I don't think is a good idea like one. Now you look at that contract and also his game slipped again which he really will maybe in the new system. And, you know, now that it's not talking anymore, they they'll do better or what-have-you, it's like a lot of risk, man. If it was a guy who was fine girl, A $4000000 year contract and New Hope for it cuz he's had a good previous track record with that contract. As is no, not you not now. No interested. Oh yeah..

"oliver ekman" Discussed on Bruins Beat
"Is up Evan? We have hockey in just a couple of days. Now finally after spending the last couple of months doing nothing but worrying about Oliver ekman-larsson coming to the Bruins and doing trade scenarios and all that fun stuff. We've finally at last reached regular season hockey. So I'm doing Splendid, how you doing. I'm doing great. I'm right there with you just the fact that there is Bruins hockey this week real games not preseason games not just training camp which we were very happy was here. Yep. Loves so very much for all the content brings is real hockey this week There's games and I see this episode. I'm this might be the episode. I've been most excited for since the trade deadline one of 20 20. So we did a trade deadline show back when they're you know, when there was when things were normal never being really amped up for that like, oh, you know the brothers who makes a big splashes, you know, maybe changing slowly than talent to really get traded that night before this even before even released to the Canucks. But even with that even going coming back into the postseason when they came back to return to play an exciting for that and I was pumped but this is different cuz this is a season yes a Full Slate of games not easy to not eighty-two and I'm sure when there's a regular 82-game season with fans and Covent thing of the past month. I'll say this is the most excited episode. I've I've been for an episode since you know 2019, but this really is I'm so excited for this. I'm so excited for what this season will bring for what happens this season wage? Twists and turns and I couldn't be more excited. So this episode is season preview and predictions and we've both been at training camp for the past week and it's been great. It's been so much fun to just be back. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I mean it's it's getting back in the swing of things now, so I was a little bit different when you got you know, Mass. Can you do contact tracing and all that stuff but you roll with the punches Ross and it's just good to get back and see kind of how the Bruins seem to be. You know, what they're thinking is in terms of crafting with roster cuz I feel like we went into camp with all these different question marks over who's going to save wear and Mortal s they've kind of just roll with the same guys, right? Like it hasn't really been are a one-day you got a different guy skating with birds running in my end or anything. That's kind of like set into these roles like, all right. So Nick is going to be with Bergeron like Sephora was going to skate quite a bit with Kevin Miller. Kevin Miller is going to be healthy and going to be the third parent guy like, you know, I think it's probably a bi-product wage..
Bruins Beat
Could this offseason be pivotal for Don Sweeney?
"Could be like if we want to go there this could be the second most pivotal offseason. Don Sweeney's tenure is Jim Morrison would be I mean, yeah, we obviously know what the the first one was some hits some misses I'll defend on Thursday and say people forget the meal music trade was was very solid but should it be his want this could be kind of the offseason wear off he shakes it up and there's been there's been little shit shaking in the Don Sweeney tenure really other than that 2015 offseason where he kind of came in and moved Hamilton moved Lucic got the Draft Picks 6 in the first two rounds. We all know the story there but dead. This could be like the next kind of version of that obviously not as big but like if you look at where the Bruins are, I mean what happens with Krug? What happens with Chara those to move up itself are pretty franchised altering. And then from there there's obviously been the the Rask rumors. I I wouldn't be surprised if something happened with Rask because we we should never be surprised by anything that happens with Rask anymore. And this point that's the case. This was like a weird enough year and obviously with it happened in the the postseason like There's so much uncertainty surrounding that player that that nothing that happens with him with surprise me. So yeah between Krug we think departing who knows what happens with Chara. I think the flu tone made a really great point that was sort of an obvious point that we've all been kind of sleeping on like it is possible that Chara reaches free agency and who knows if the Bruins have or anything with him maybe a team jumps in and they're like, hey, man, you're the missing piece like this is your what what we need and maybe yeah, maybe he just maybe he departs so possibilities are plentiful and I haven't even gotten to the Do they make like a real hockey trade? Do they trade Jake debrusk? They trade Brandon Carlo. My pie-in-the-sky thing that will never happen is like they find a way to make Carlos the centerpiece of a Patrick line a deal which financially and for other reasons just does not seem like something they would do but oh my God, I have been banging the table to get more scores on this team and if they found a way even if it's losing Carlo in an offseason where you also lose Krug, like imagine if I thought they had Patrick lyonnet David pastrnak and like imagine having three of the best goal scorers in the planet on your team
