Bruins should call up Frederic, Studnicka and Lantosi, send down Ritchie, Lindholm and Backes.

Lantosi isn't eligible. He's not on an NHL deal.

gotta think he's coming up. he seems to play the right side a lot. unless PPP is their choice

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

No they don't. That'll just tie up contract slots. They can wait on both.

 

[Saxon Eric]

They went with Lauzon, no complaints from me,he's a solid no thrills player,doesn't have the offensive upside that Vaakanainen or Zboril has but he's not Allen Pedersen either
Lineup just got tougher

He makes the offensive plays that I wish McAvoy would do more— shooting hard and low to look for tips, rebounds and deflections. Have to feel for Zboril, though, he’s been a great soldier and deserves to be up.

I really like this move. Lauzon has looked very good when ever given the chance.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Really disappointing it isn't Zboril, I really don't understand. By all accounts he has just been a consistent force this year.

 

[CDJ]

I don’t think +\- is the best stat but I think it’s useful when comparing it across the same team...Lauzon is quietly leading a very good providence team in it

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

At least it wasn't Petrovic.

 

[Saxon Eric]

At least it wasn't Petrovic.

That's the spirit!

 

[Dr Hook]

That's the spirit!

They can't call him up. They need him running the powerplay in Providence if they have any hopes of a Calder Cup.

 

[bbfan419]

There are probably a couple payers they could just release.

You can't just release guys.

[BruinsFanSince94]

Providence getting DEEP again.

 

[bbfan419]

There are probably a couple payers they could just release.

Ok well I am sure some players will be involved in deals by the TDL.

 

[bruinmann77]

can't have enough D men

 

[Blowfish]

I really like this move. Lauzon has looked very good when ever given the chance.

Showcase?

 

[PlayMakers]

Excited for Lauzon, have been wanting to see him up for awhile. I'm hoping he can be the 8th D for the playoffs.

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Gryz - Lauzon
Moore - Clifton

 

[Ratty]

Showcase?

Taking the place of an injured defenseman.

 

[PepeBostones]

I'm really happy with this move. What a chance for Lauzon. He's come on lately in production with a couple of assist in the last two games. He's got 10 points, Zboril 10 points and Vaakalainen has 11 points and considering Lauzon never gets on the power play. Imo Lauzon definitey deserves this callup.

Lauzon will never be mistaken for a flashy offensive defenseman, but he can play. As of today he's a big strong D, (closer to 6'3 than the listed 6'1), has a that nice first out pass. He's also strong protecting the area in front of the net and make hits along the boards to knock opponents off the puck.

Imo Lauzon is better than both Zboril and Vaaks in positional play and defensively. He reads the game very well which helps him and also why he's a good penaltykiller.
Lauzon has shown remarkable improvement in those areas since joining the PBruins as he used to run around too much, tells the Bruins staff are really doing well working with the young incoming players both in theory and practice.

I'd like to see him become a little quicker in turns and faster with the puck in transistion. In that case Zboril and Vaaks are quicker. If Lauzon can be what Kevan Miller was in his best days I would be happy. A strong, no nonse D who can play.
It's a lot to like on all three, they are just different players.

 

[KlausJopling]

A bit disappointed that they didnt call up Zboril. He played so nervously in his brief call up last year, they need to see if hes beyond that now. Maybe they have just moved on from him and will move him at the deadline.
