Description

First off... Thank you for all you have Done Chara! Amazing leader, player, and person and Boston is going to miss him greatly (until he comes back to coach or something - he lives for Hockey)

But with his instagram post, the bruins roster this year hsa become a little more clear! So here is my look right now! All as accurate as possible, no rude comments because there is nothing factually wrong here (just maybe a different opinion :) )

LASTLY: LHD! (and defense overall) Nobody knows whats gonna happen, but Chara clarified that they r going with the young guns! So I see them playing Urho, Scratching Zboril (not Taxi squad) and Griz and McAvoy were apparently amazing together in the games they played together.

So again: leave ur thought, but be kind. Nothing here is actually wrong. Just a matter of opinion at this point

I would love to see that 4th line. But i doubt it happens. Most likely Ritchie-Kuraly-Wagner.

If they put Bjork in Pasta’s slot leaving Stud out, Ritchie plays 3rd line and that 4th line could be a thing, but knowing them they’d use Lindholm over Frederic. 🤮

I think if Miller is healthy he plays RD3. They did not sign him to put him on waivers. He either plays or is on IR.

I think Zboril instead of Urho just because Urho does not have to clear waivers, Zboril does. Zboril looked good on loan in Europe and has more experience as a pro. This is his time and his chance. If he fails they can turn to Urho.

But pretty solid eval all in all. 👍🏻

1. I would agree, BUT they just gave Freddy a permanent number so he is likely going to crack the full time roster. (not gauranteed of course but its much more likely!!)
2. Same point as above^ Studnicka also got a full time number 23 instead of his temporary number in 68 so i think he is more likely there to stay
3. I agree, I just didnt wanna scratch Clifton lol. My last ACGM had miller in the lineup I believe... So imma fix that
4. Thats fair too. IDK man would they play Urho in the AHL still??

But yeah all solid points, thats where this season is even more funny than normal cuz there are so many more options lmaoooo

EDIT: I fixed that all up, threw Moore on Taxi squad cuz that either gives them Cap relief or someone claims him which gives them even more cap releief

Definitely would love to see Frederic make the team out of camp and have a regular role... Love to see him push the pace for that 4th line after kind of a meh year from them last year. Obviously LHD will be interesting, unless Vaak or Zboril really shine i would think Moore will see minutes (yet they may want to save $$ down the road so he may end up on the taxi). Obviously hoping one of them stands out, but who knows? Good stuff all around... im obviously a little nervous about LHD as most B's fans probably are, but im also excited to finally see what Vaak/Zboril may look like with consistent time at the NHL level. It definitely will be worth watching. Miller/Clifton is a toss up for me... all depends on how Miller looks after all that time off. Thanks!

Gonna definitely be interesting
Yeah it seems they wanna go with their young guys as thats what Chara said but of course none of us know!
Like I said to the other guy. Studnicka and Freddy getting their permanent numbers seems like a good sign for them, but of course we can not say yet

Agreed with the forward lines, would just switch Frederic and Lindholm but it will depend on Frederic's camp. Bruins have 6 options for the final 3 spot on defense so hard to predict.

Nah exactly not much to do, Just wanted to throw out a prediction with the info from Chara...
Also yeah figured Stud and Freddy getting permanent numbers would mean a little more for Freddy making the roster full time. Again who knows, but just making an educated guess

The thing i really wanna see cassidy try is to give seny a chance over stud. Seny has to go through waivers anyway so might as well see what he's got. Stud is a lot more flexible being waiver exempt. But if he wants to just put the best lineup out on the ice then yes stud should play.
