Does he even have a Twitter account?
Cant wait for training camp and pre season. Was thinking yesterday, I wonder what conditions his signing was under. Straight to Boston bypassing Providence? Or a 20 game stint in Providence (similar to Pastrnak) to see what he can do? Gonna be an exciting season with all the new faces!
Hayes
Beleskey
Vatrano
I think those 3 are on the outer here, have to think DeBrusk goes straight into Boston, Frankie probably back to Pro to round off his game, Bjork? Who knows, could surprise, could need time. All I know is IK cant wait!

I'm really happy to see him get locked up; I thought he was going to go back next year, so i'm surprised though.
A lot of talent on that left side now; feel like we might need someone to break through on the right side, after Pastranak, it's a little weak.
Well of course Heinen and Bjork have significant experience on both sides. My understanding is DeBrusk has at least some experience on both sides.
How can you lump Vatrano with the other two? Beleskey has underperformed his 3.9m salary to the point that he's been talked about as a salary dump for teams willing to take him for including a better player from our roster.Cant wait for training camp and pre season.

Hayes is destined to decompose in Rhode Island for a year until his contract runs out.
Vatrano's slot is not guaranteed. He has to fight for it in TC. But he, at least, has the potential to attain a higher ceiling.
I wouldn't write Vatrano off that fast. He can score and has pretty good speed. If he works on his deficiencies he should be a pretty good player. He still hasn't played a full season. I think when he's healthy in the fall he will be better.
Just because I mentioned Vatrano in the same post doesn't mean im putting him on the level of Beleskey and Hayes, but Frankie was borderline terrible to finish the season and Cassidy had 0 confidence in playing him. All im saying is unless he has a stella camp and works om his play away from the puck, eapecially in the defensive zone (
Seems to do a lot of puck watching and standing around instead of coverig) then it wouldnt surprise me if hes in Providence and someone (DeBrusk seems most ready) takes his spot in Boston.
But if one or both of Hayes/Beleskey are traded or taken in expansion there may me more spots available anyway
