Heard very little interest around the league for Korpisalo. Boston is actively shopping the goalie and considering all options, but their top priority is avoiding retention or a buyout. They want cap flexibility.

Heard Boston is considering using Mason Lohrei to try and acquire draft compensation. Asking price is a 1st or high 2nd. Seems like they’re interested in the Ruck Twins.

(2/2) “Bischel from Dallas is intriguing. Mentioned Wright in Seattle earlier. Could see Boston go after Lafreniere from NY, although he had a pretty decent season. It seems like a young forward with upside is the target there if Lohrei’s the centerpiece”
Phil Carter via PC Podcast: “Lohrei and Poitras, the “new” core a few years back, both expected to be moved this off season. I think they could get a solid return for both, it would be a pure hockey trade. Struggling young player with high upside swap. (1/2)”

Jimmy Horgan via PC Podcast: “(Rasmus) Andersson seems like he’s staying in Vegas. They tend to make it work for star players they like, if he were to hit the market Boston would be hyper aggressive. Don’t know if he’d sign, but he’s clearly still valued by the organization”

Phil Carter via PC podcast: “I wonder on a name like Corey Perry for the Bruins. He returned to the east last year. He plays the style they want, he could get a meaningful role on a team that made the playoffs last year. Cheap bottom six depth”

PC Podcast: “The Kraken seem like ideal trade partners with Boston. Shane Wright has shown flashes of elite talent, Beniers too. Local guy there. High draft stock for both. Boston needs a center bad. Seattle wants veterans. I Don’t think the price tag on Wright is too high”

Boston has definitely discussed John Carlson. 36 years old, Mass Native. The Bruins would want to go term for a lower AAV, similar to the Coyle and Marchand deals. They’ve also shown interest in Andersson, a D-Man is their top priority this off season.

The Bruins will shape their off season based on if they have Torontos pick or not. If the lottery doesn’t go their way, I’d expect them to package assets to move back into the top 15 of the draft. Heard names like Lin and Belchetz as mid-first options.

Thank god we didn’t play James Hagens, huh Sturm? That third line was just oozing offense!

Expecting a Viktor Arvidsson extension post playoffs, Bruins really like him.

I don’t necessarily agree with the new “Stop freaking out” narrative on Hagens. Bruins fans are excited for an elite prospect, they haven’t had one in years. College hockey isn’t the same as it’s been in years past, truly elite prospects make the jump all the time.

You gotta pay to play, but this market is even more seller friendly than last year. Lotta post deadline clarity coming in my opinion

On Robert Thomas: Boston and Hagens are in agreement with a contract at the end of his collegiate season with BC. They’re also completely unwilling to part with Minten right now. Believe their best offer was Letourneau, Tor 1st, Flo 1st, Bos 2nd. Don’t see it happening.

Boston’s asking price for Peeke is a second round pick. Teams are interested, but are checking out better options first. Feels like this will be a Friday deal close to deadline hour.

Heard Jesper Bratt come up in trade talks too. That one seems to be “only if you overpay”, but teams would be willing

I believe Boston is trying to acquire both Brock Boeser and Connor Garland in a huge blockbuster with Vancouver. Salary would need to go back, no retention in play. Preference is Garland, but interestingly enough, they want both.

“They have money, but no free agents are appealing for Boston. Andersson will sign an extension with Vegas, it’s a matter of when, not if. They like Boone Jenner a lot, they love Robert Thomas, not sure if that one’s possible. Jordan Kyrou might be an option there”
