I can see keeping him for the expansion draft. Halak’s contract will be up. Bs protect Rask and leave Mac exposed. How about Vladar? Will he be eligible for the draft?

I been a big Zane guy since we drafted him and its nice seeing him carrying the bruins on his back. Hope the Bruins keep him around.

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
They lost 3-2 you have the goal scorers right and Fitz played, he assisted with Breen and Smith. Vlader was in the net.

Well, I hope the high ranking scouts who were at the game were there to watch the Thunderbirds, because there was nothing to see on the Providence side.
Went to the game today. Not the best performance, but a few notes anyway:
Vaakanainen - best player on the team by a good margin. Scouting report on him is wrong, has great offensive instincts. Looks very thin though, so not much physical game and not a heavy shot.
Zboril - paired with Vaak and the two played rally well together. Got a ton of ice time. Actually caused Z to wear down by the end, which is a knock on him. Does have great poise with the puck, and instincts in all three zones. Heavy shot, but overpasses on the blue line.
Donato - did not look good at all. If he isn't scoring, just not very involved. Has a habit of gliding a lot.
Fitzgerald - looks really sharp. Quick, skilled and smart. Could be our forward version of Grzelcyk. Needs a look in the NHL soon.
Senyshyn - has similar problems to Donato. Doesn't do much if he isn't on a scoring chance. Did sprint the full length of the ice on a set play and it was awe inspiring.
Stempniak - clearly a NHL experienced player. Super strong on the puck at this level, and poised too.

Thanks Beesfan. Good to hear about Vaakanainen and Zboril. The near future by the look of things.

Count down ...
I'm guessing some of us were worried Donato falls into a meh so so performer in AHL...He better pick it up. Going to be competing with more and more prospects each year.

Sorry missed this, but I don't know for sure. I think he won't be exempt . Looking at the expansion rules, all 1st and 2nd year NHL players are exempt, but Vladar will be an RFA at the end of contract year 3 at the time. The Bruins would have to give him a qualifying offer in order to make him available, though. I guess it depends on how they see his development? If they think Vladar can be an NHL goalie, then I guess they re-sign Zane so as not to have to expose him.

I wouldn't hesitate to move Donato in a trade for a legitimate NHL player.

I’m leery on moving donato. If he was doing what he’s doing now 2 years ago I’d pounce on trading him but with frank Vatrano looking like a lost cause here for his first few seasons and seemingly figuring it out in Florida this year, I’m willing to be a little more patient with snipers who float. I’d give him 2 more seasons, this is his 1st year pro after all.

Vatrano and Donato aren't comparable to me.... Vatrano can actually skate. Donato's skating is horrendous. Hopefully he can work on it if he sticks around, but seeing he plays LW (where Boston has prospects/young players there already) if the right deal came along that helps the big club, and they want Donato, sayonara!!

You really think his skating is that bad? That's interesting care to elaborate?
He's certainly not terribly strong on his skates but he seems to have decent wheels anytime I've watched him.

I know you didn`t ask me but that`s never stopped me from responding before
I would like to see Donato work on his first few strides, there is little to no explosion there, once he gets going his speed is solid but he doesn`t have that step in him now to separate

He's not strong on his skates, and his first few steps are just mediocre. I find his skating style awkward and choppy as well.
