Mason Lohrei

...

I'm look- I'm looking at the numbers and I'm like, you know, Mason Lohrei's up.

What are you gonna do with Mason Lohrei this year? That's three million off the cap.

Do you pay him? Pence is kind of a prove-it-year for him.

Casey Middlestat, what's Casey Middlestat gonna get? Seven?

I have no inside info on that one.

And I think, you know, I continue to think Jokihari or Lohrei or both are, are gonna get moved, uh, very early in the early going here.

I don't know how the heck they're still here.

Yeah.

Um-

They're gonna keep Mason Lohrei on the ninth floor for 70 games just so he can play-

Yeah

...

Who, who wants Matty, Matty Potra? Who wants him?

Who does want him? Somebody wants him.

Who wants Mason Lohrei and Matty Potra?

There you go.

It's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out with the team.

Mason Lohrei is in a really interesting spot with the organization right now, uh, you know, coming into the last year of his contract.

Uh, what do you think an extension for him would be, and, and how do you think the Bruins are gonna go about that?

Yeah, there were a lot of question marks with Mason Lohrei.

He was a scr- healthy scratch at the end of last year in the playoffs.

He played a lot of last year, and I thought he played pretty well, but then he had some ...

Uh, Hockey Talk says, "Here's a chirp.

Why are all of Joki Harju, Lohrei, Mittelstadt-

[laughs]

...

Colagio, yep.

Mm-hmm.

His tweet that we discussed earlier this week about the roster, and essentially he had Lohrei, Okiharu, some other buriable people and Mittelstadt-

Yeah

Yeah, no doubt.

Um, number two, how do you think other teams around the league view Mason Lohrei, um, 26 years old, 3.2 million approaching RFA, and Jokoharu, 27 years old, 3 million and signed for the next two seasons? Could Lohrei's skill set bring back any value? Uh, yeah, I think Lohrei has value around the league.

Jokoharu I think is more straight salary cap dump type, uh, move if you're looking to move him.

I don't think his value is very high right now based on the contract and the season that he had.

Yeah.

It's unusually, uh, high amount of that sort of thing, of player movement.

Um, and to me, that has to necessarily include Jokoharu, and it, I would really be surprised if it doesn't also include Mason Lohrei.

Yep.

Everyone else, there are some that are likely to be in more than not, and then there are some that we have no idea what we're gonna get because they are new.

I'm gonna address Mason Lohrei first because-

Yeah

... he-

Yes

... that one here then.

So my little nota bene about Mason Lohrei, he has shown the promise and the potential to be the offensive activation D with the expectation-

Correct

So it's gonna be interesting to see how they approach that one.

Um, number two, "How do you think other teams around the league view Lohrei, 26 years old, 3.2 million approaching RFA, and Jokaharu, 27 years old, 3 million and signed for the next two seasons? Could Lohrei's skill set bring back any value?" I think Lohrei's skill set, yes.

I think Lohrei has value.

On his contract, with his ability level and his age, I think he's attractive to teams.

I think you get at least, you know, good draft pick compensation for him.

I didn't think there was a market out there for him, and they were able to move him.

Um, so it can happen, but I, I don't see it.

Um, Lohrei's the one, though.
