Rumor: Bruins Sign UMD Defenseman Nick Wolff

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

heres hoping I got another new favorite player to cheer for the next 7-8 years

certainly seems like my type of player... and has the style we will be in short supply after chara retires

{still hoping carlo develops a consistent mean streak but a good defense needs more than just 1 oversized guy making opponents pay a price for real estate}

Adam McQuaid’s large adult son?

The new Lone Wolff

 

[BruinDust]

I've been telling people that for awhile too(not on here). Krug, Miller, Vatrano, Acciari, Clifton, Kuhlman....that's quite track record and I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Hopefully add Zech and Wolff to that list on the next few years.

I wanted them to sign Wolff last year but he decided to stay in school so I'm very pleased with this move.

Czarnik maybe. Could be others we're forgetting.

6`5, nice, does the big man move well?

 

[sarge88]

Nick Ritchie, Nick Wolff...Can never have too many Nick's!!

Of all the movies my wife made me watch with her, that was one of the more enjoyable ones.

Mama Mia, on the other hand ---- I still have PTSD from that one.

If Im remembering correctly he looked fine in training camp.

On hear "the Bruins hf site for the first time ". Am a jets Flyers fan .
Wolfe is a big physical D man with a pile of snarl to say the least . I have seen him play live at least 20 times the last 5 years or so , He is not a offensive weapon , that said he can skate quite well is poised with the puck and makes good passes coming out of his own end . He stand up at the blue forcing the entry very well and does not let guys get around him to the net .
He will play games next year for the Bruins and be a staple the year after in my opinion . My prediction is a 4/5 D man and will be a fan fav in short order .
He is well worth the contract .

Thanks for the comments, appreciate them.

Can we look forward to a Wolff/Zech combo in a few years?

Can we look forward to a Wolff/Zech combo in a few years?

My current favorite future watch

Vaakananen/mcavoy
Zboril/carlo
Wolff/lauzon
Clifton

Means we let krug walk

Means we keep grze on a bridge... move him before he gets too expensive

Moore at some point moves on

Zech? Might replace clifton

I might be too optomistic expecting zboril in top 4... but what the hell... i like being optomistic

This is an all home grown affordable talented young d core. Good mix of grit with puck moving

I do think mcavoy can qb a pp... specially with a couple more years of development

Good job sweeney... good job

I love it. If Z comes back and this guy gets a shot at the big leagues you have some absolute trucks back there.

Chara 6'9'' 255lbs
Carlo 6'5'' 215 lbs
Lauzon 6'1' 205 lbs
Wolff 6'5'' 230 lbs
McAvoy 6'0 210 lbs

I like the idea of a bigger defense group.

McAvoy 6'0 210 lbs

I like the idea of a bigger defense group.

Lauzon said earlier this year that he's up to 6'3.

 

[Krupp]

I cannot think it is ever a BAD thing to add another big hitter to your lineup! Regardless of where he settles in the depth chart down the road

Good signing, from the looks of it.

He plays bigger than Carlo IMO

They'd be a solid late game pairing when you're trying to secure a win.

That's sexy. Especially with Lauzon being bigger.

now if we could get some toughness on the 4th line.

We have Wagner and Ritchie in the bottom 6. I'd love a Ross Johnston type for 4L LW. I still would like a top 6 power winger. That'd create a deep physical lineup.

Report: Bruins Interested In University Of Minnesota-Duluth Defenseman

good write up. Some nice highlights

love those bodychecks

up and down ice mobility looks good

Not sure on agility. But likely will need to work on it to succeed at the NHL level

 

[rocketdan9]

A fight highlight (not much of one, but like he way he comes to the rescue for his teammate)

 

[Absurdity]

 

[Bruinaura]

That sounds like something Shawn Thornton would say

 

[CDJ]

be still my beating heart

The only difference is the referees protect the little punks not the cage
