McQuaid in the top 4, now that Boston has 2 top 4 RHD's, doesn't give me any good feelings. MAYBE it's an option to start, but I don't see this lasting long.

LW spot seems like a hole with Vatrano there. I think he's one that needs to prove more consistency on the 3rd line before you can throw him into a top 6 role. JFK needs time in Providence and he doesn't seem to be a good option for RW. Let him play big minutes in the AHL at center, where Boston will need him down the road.

Minor nit-picking, but I'd prefer Agostino (or a veteran signed off a PTO) as an extra forward over Cehlarik. If PC doesn't make the team, he should be continuing to develop full time in Providence. He has potential and he will not reach it being an extra forward. Even Kuraly not playing regularly makes me 'meh' but it makes more sense with his upside being limited. If Kuraly made the roster as the extra, I'd want him playing. I like his game a lot. Size, speed, and grit.

Pretty much this ^. JFK and Cehlarik (who is coming off shoulder surgery) to Providence for more ice time, possibly even Kuraly. One or two of Bjork, Heinen, Debrusk, Agostino or Stafford (PTO) make the team out of camp. With the Bruins short on right shot wingers and an interest from Stafford to return, there is a good possibility he will be on Bergeron's RW for about $2M. The Providence roster will be very good with depth and talent.

O'Gara made the roster out of camp last year, I expect him to this year, as they could use a stay at home LD and like to carry 8.

My current take to make opening roster:
Minus JFK, Kuraly and Cehlarik. (all on two-way deals, waiver exempt and younger)
Add O'Gara, Bjork and Agostino. (LD and makes 8, LW/RW best FWD at development camp, one-way contract and older)

I can't quote your response. I actually see bjork/Debrusk making the team somewhere. Personally think one of them will make the team over JFK.

I don't think it's wise to put much stock into top 4 being anything in this team. The way I see it; Krug gets 21 minutes as does McAvoy. McQuaid and Kevan Miller both get around 17, so who did you really want there? Unless you're suggesting McAvoy and Krug together which could end up really bad. It'd be unfair to Charlie to pair him with Krug. You're not just affecting that pair when you choose them to play together, you also create the totally epic pairing of Miller and McQuaid. That pairing is barely watchable for NHL hockey.
