It'll be interesting to see what Sweeney does. Right now according to CF, the Bruins are show only have 1 contract slot available. Could Boston sign guys to NHL contracts starting next year and then have them play on an ATO the rest of this year? I feel like that's what they tried to do with McAvoy until there were injuries and they had to bring him up.

Yes, probably 95% of college players who sign sign to ATO this year and NHL contract next, this is true of NHL picks, and UDFA.

It is very rare that players sign to an NHL deal immediately. But the biggest fish would likely require that

If we sign Reed Lebster does he come with a basket of cheese biscuits?

I wouldn’t expect much. Opportunity is a big factor and the Bruins won’t have that.

Bruins have a lot of potential opportunity next year. They will likely have to have upwards of 6-8 players on their roster with a contract around 1 million.

Disagree
There maybe little NHL opportunity this year but looking at next year's cap situation they'll be plenty of opportunities and as an added bonus they'll contribute as an Black Ace and (hopefully) a deep playoff run

Eric,

If you have the time, when you post signings can you give a sentence maybe of where they were ranked by you and your opinion of the player?

I can do that but Dom should handle the OHL guys
McDonald was on my list however I never ranked the CHL guys

There are a bunch of NCAA guys I'd want first, but if I had to pick one its James Hardie who was at camp last summer.

I haven't seen a player put in the work on areas that needed improving on like Hardie has. He's come a long long way. And when Mississauga sold off their big pieces, became Captain and has done wonders for their young players.

Logan Morrison maybe. I just don't think he has improved his skating enough to be NHL level. I guess if the Bruins felt that their own skills and skating coach could help, I'd be okay with it.

I think they are coming out of this with 2 signings. Ford will be one. Gaber maybe being the other. I think there is great opportunity for both to make the team next season in the bottom 6.

I would be surprised, if not shocked if they only sign 2 players . there will almost certainly be 1-2 defensemen signed

I guess it also depends somewhat on who they sign from their pricks. I guess if they sign 4 former draft picks that might limit the UDFA
