Player Discussion Lauzon or Zboril

[World of Wardlow]

Lauzon has the higher ceiling, and IMO will definitely get claimed by Seattle. Hopefully they take Ritchie instead

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Lauzon he s my take because of his style of play, big body physical player, Zboril is a soft D...

If Zboril is soft, than that would mean the organization beat the toughness out of him, because he was certainly never a soft player

He was known as being physical in juniors, to the point of taking himself out of the play to make hits. Did that carry over to the AHL?

He wasn't very physical with Boston.

Not being as physical in Boston could just be a confidence/comfort issue ... again not wanting to take himself out of position/make a mistake by being too aggressive

Looks like we’ll be seeing more of Zboril now that Lauzon is gone. I still think Z has a higher ceiling.

Zorbil needed to stay the full year in Providence last year, not sure what to think of him. Seemed a bit intimated on the ice and didn’t see his game grow during the year at all.

I think Z has high end tools but just don't see him putting it together. He reminds me a bit of a defensive version of Cehlarik. Not in terms of style (Z obviously better skater by far), but just in terms of being a guy who never figures out how to turn his high end skill into productivity. Both guys I watch and think "this guy is awesome" but then they don't actually achieve much.

People people! The important thing is that if Seattle picks either of them the 2015 draft gets that much f***ing worse.

Also means the player they lost was a bad draft pick so it’s a win.

Well done, sir!!

Yeah I am dreading the “who??!” with our first round pick again

 

[JOKER 192]

Well that sucks, now we need 6 new Dmem.

 

[JOKER 192]

They just better not flip him to the Habs now.

 

[DangleCity]

Better hope it Zboril

 

[inactive user]

Better hope it Zboril

It’s pretty much a given at this point that it’s Lauzon.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Where’s the six coming from?

McAvoy, Carlo, Grzelcyk, Clifton, Zboril all returning.

??? — McAvoy
Grzelcyk — Carlo
Zboril — Clifton
???

Now, I know the arguments here will be made:

Grzelcyk isn’t a Top 4 defenseman, Zboril isn’t an every night defenseman.

I would agree a bit and disagree a bit with it. That said, I’m not seeing this 6 new defenseman take.

 

[LyndonByers]

Looks like it will be Lauzon. Now I have to watch Matt Grzelcyk and his 3.7 per year cap hit flail around like Greg Hawgood trying to move bigger guys out of the front of the net in a big playoff game.

3.7 million dollar players have weaknesses in their game? Who would have thought!

Well, I have been saying I only wanted to keep Mac and Lauzon.
Lauzon going to Krack , leaves just Mac. So ya 6 more dmen.

We ain't winning anything with that dcorps.

 

[GarbageGoal]

I like Zboril. I think Lauzon is more NHL ready which is what Seattle wants right now.

Yeah so they can flip him to Montreal and leave us all miserable.

 

[ODAAT]

wonder how many here who are upset about losing Lauzon were/are the same fans hammering the kid in the playoffs?

 

[Montecristo]

Zboril. Lauzon stinks

 

[GloveSave1]

Sucks. Lauzon hurts the most.

They need to move some more out. Either Clifton or Zboril has to be replaced. Everybody here knows they have to get bigger. Probably a couple adds.

I’d probably move Clifton and make Zboril the 6th or 7th. That would be the goal.
