If Lindholm can`t go, who is in Providence that should be called up who is best suited for short term duty? Frederic/Hughes? Not sure if Studs is ready yet but also can`t make any exclamations on that as I haven`t seen him play

yeah thought so too, was wondering if maybe Hughes might get a look but again, I watch 0 minutes of PB games so I`m in no position to offer any thoughts on it, no idea who is looking good etc...

Short term you can pick anyone from the litter except Studnicka, he's more end of the year ish,good start for him though
Aches and pains
Already missing second-line center David Krejci and winger Karson Kuhlman, the Bruins faced the Rangers without a pair of fourth-line wingers. Then they lost a center during the game.
An infection issue, coach Bruce Cassidy said before puck drop at Madison Square Garden, kept Joakim Nordstrom out of the lineup. So was Chris Wagner, who was limping after blocking an Alex Pietrangelo blast with his left foot in Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Blues. On Sunday, Par Lindholm left with an upper-body injury after skating 7:04.
Cassidy was hoping Krejci (upper body) could return for Tuesday’s home game against the Sharks, but wasn’t certain if he will.
Nordstrom spent the offseason recovering from a foot injury sustained in the playoffs, and picked up an undisclosed upper-body ailment. He missed the first three games, played four, then missed two more. Wagner, who missed the Stanley Cup Final with a broken forearm (thanks to a Justin Faulk slapper in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final), had been healthy for every game (0-2—2).

what a long road back for him (Moore too), can`t even imagine being a pro athlete and not being able to do the thing you love the most. No clue how all of this will pan out if and when the back end is healthy though, suppose all are good problems to have

Would like to see him bring his toughness back to the team

I hate to say this but we need Moore and Miller healthy again so we can prove their fitness and trade one or both of them.
Sounds harsh after all the effort and rehab they've put in to recover, but then the reality is that both would struggle to get a game in Boston when fit, although Miller probably has slightly better prospects in that regard. Regardless, they're both still NHL calibre, so it may be to the benefit of everybody if they end up somewhere where they're going to get a lot more game time and we get some offensive help in return.
Its easy to forget what Miller brings to this team being out so long...
As long as the sums add up that's how I'd go too. Miller as a bigger, physical player is something we don't have a lot of, plus we know that Chara doesn't have too long left. We have Cliffy (small in stature but plays a tough game), and Carlo has the ability to increase his physicality, as does Vaak in time, but in the short term Miller still has sometime to offer with his physicality and presence that the Bruins are in need of.
Whereas Moore is really just another smaller, mobile D, and we have a number of those both in Boston and Providence, some of them better than Moore already and one or two with the potential to at least reach his level. I like him and he definitely still has a lot to offer as a solid defender, but it's probably going to be with another team.

Both have been really good for the bruins...need to leverage a D in a trade to move Backes.
I'm aware of Moore's size but he doesn't play like a big or overly strong guy. He's hard enough on the puck but he's not really one to throw his weight around - Clifton's 5'11" and plays a more physical game than Moore does. Carlo's comfortably bigger at 6'5" and yeah he can take care of himself, but again even he's not a 'heavy' player. That's no criticism of either of them, it's just how they are.
The point is that Miller brings something in his physicality and strength that is in fairly short supply on the Bruins. Moore is an equally capable defenseman but plays in a similar way to a number of others. If one of them has to go, and I reckon one does if we're serious about another Cup tilt, then I'd reluctantly choose Moore.
