DeBrusk doesn't take that contract because of the AAV. IMO, Zboril/Lauzon have more chance to have spot than Vaakanainen but we'll see at camp. I want Studnicka in the NHL and wouldn't mind him on the 4th but poor guy if he has to play with those two. Kuraly-Lindholm-Studnicka instead.

Defense wise, I had lauzon in, but I really feel like its do or die with Vaakanainen. They need to get him in soon and I think he will turn heads. Zboril and Lauzon were options but i wanted a leftie. And yeah studnicka has it rough, theres so much forward depth, but he looked really good in the playoffs. Someone else I wanted o put in was Senyshyn.

ahem, greg mckegg 1st line C and LW

Both Zboril and Lauzon are left-handed and can play both sides. Lauzon is the only one who does it though. Zboril played on the right in the Juniors and AHL but looks like the Bruins only want him to play on the left side. They're also waivers eligible so I think it's more of a "do or die" for them than Vaakanainen, who has just played his second season in North America. Senyshyn is also an option; I hope someone claim him and play him in the NHL if the Bruins waive him.

Funny you say that about senyshyn, because i said that when both him and zboril signed, that that was the stupidest thing they could do. Both need ice time obviously and theres so much untapped potential (though i still feel Vaak out plays people)

Kuraly is one of the best 4th liners in the league. Why is he on the bench?

There isn’t a team in the national hockey league that has Sean Kuraly not dress.

John Moore isn’t playing top four minutes for this team.
