My 2 cents says Hamilton wont be in the opening night lineup but watching from the bench, who is in that 6th D spot is my question.

I Disagree. Hamilton is going to play. Unless you are telling me that Bartoswki and Warsoskfy are better players than hamilton and are going to beat him out, I just don't see it. Hamilton starts or he is the First defenseman off the bench.

That's is going to be the lineup against the rangers. You can substract Bourque and add in Caron.

No changes??

I was really thinking with the emergence of Seguins game, and Hortons health... that things might change up a little. What about improving the PP?? What 3 guys can do that this year, if we have all the same pieces.
Theres gotta be some changes somewhere.

Caron is still hurt and considering how he was playing in Provi Bourque would still be the guy to get the call.

the problem with the powerplay wasn't with the players themselves, it seemed to be a coaching/system issue I think

Hamilton plays. They haven't split up Hamilton and Seidenberg at all during camp. I don't see why they would just slot Aaron Johnson in there randomly after Hamilton practices all week, there wouldn't be any chemistry.

Maybe. Bourque or Caron for sure in that spot.

Those D pairings are pretty awesome. Seidenberg and Hamiliton together would be a solid pair. Seidenberg might be second favorite player on the B's outside of Bergy..

It wont be Johnson taking hamiltons spot as he just got sent down to providence on a conditioning loan.

The power play changes the Bruins are making are being discussed in this thread: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1323717

Hamilton has been paired with Seidenberg from day one of this shortened training camp (and scrimmage).. I don't think there is anyway Hamilton is not playing on Saturday.
