Been so long since we got him for Chuckie, I actually forgot about this kid.

Alex Fallstrom in the fold. Good defensive forward out of Harvard- acquired from Wild with Koko pick for Chuck Kobasew

 

[Kelly23]

Means he is going to the AHL right?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I think that puts them at 50 contracts now? So or anyone coming in at the deadline, or when The Yeti finally shows up, a contract has to go?

Bring on the Swedish influx of big bodies. It's worked for Detroit over the years to bring in larger Swedish players. See how he does down in the A.

I think we will see a two for or three for one deal maybe?

Makes sense. Also mean we may have a prospect as the trow in instead of a late pick.

He is part of Joe Thornton trade legacy. May he salvage the trade!

Fallstrom makes the 50th contract - he isn't on the CapGeek page yet.

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

Is he good enough for the team now?

My guess would be no, but I haven't seen him play. But haven't heard anything about him (good or bad), so my guess is he's gonna get some seasoning in Providence.

 

[reffree]

I'm a little surprise about this move. Good for the kid.

 

[BigBadBruin8]

I'm pretty sure he's the 48th, as the guys signed and still in Junior don't count? Definitely could be wrong though...

Suban and Khoko are on there, but they shouldn't count.

Definitely not ready now. But from the few games I watched this season I was pretty impressed.

 

[dredeye]

at this point Subban, Koko and Camara don't count from what I understand but if they come up to Providence I believe that's when their start to count. They can easily just trade a scrub prospect or two for futures.

Tommy Cross has a new study buddy!

This trade is gonna shoot up near the top on Chiarelli's ever-growing list.

Sounds to me like they're re-stocking Providence in advance of trading some guys out of there?....

I'm not sure if there's anyone in Providence the Bruins would be willing to give up that would have any value.

How's our other Swede, Svedberg, doing?

 

[Ratty]

Forgot that the Koko pick was from that trade. Wow! Though I didn't want to see us lose Kobeasew for what, at the time, appeared to be an inferior return.

As for Fallstrom, I've seen him a few times. Tall LW, though slow on his skates. He may have improved. I wouldn't expect much in the way of scoring from him.

By the numbers, he's playing pretty well. I can't attest to style, haven't been able to catch a game down in Providence though.

Going to the Providence at Manchester game on April 6th though - excited to see the prospects.
