Boston Bruins Training Camp 2019

[BMC]

For BDust, yeah

My calculations already had Cehlarik traded,still need 1 more player gone
Regarding Backes he looks like he did 5 years ago,big,wide ,power forward not the pasty,gaunt sickly guy we had last year,now is gonna score 20 goals? Doubtful but he'll contribute where he can,I dont see Management sending him down to Providence or they would have had him playing with the B team Monday night to send him a message

I've often thought he came back much too soon after his colon surgery. I'm glad to hear he at least looks more like his old self, maybe his play will pick up as well now that he's feeling better.

I thought we already have not one but two whipping boys: David Backes & Danton Heinen. You mean there's a third????

I mean you have to start to groom someone right? lol. Backes may only have 1-2 years left (Although people will complain about his contract for the next 10-15 yeras) and if Heinen gets back to his rookie season form it'll be tough to complain. I mean its an odd choice for a 3rd whipping boy, but someone has to fill the role.

BD seems to have one bottom 6 guy he hates every year- Riley Nash, then Noel, now it looks like Lindholm. It's more amusing than anything. I don't believe he ever thought these guys were responsible for any lack of success the Bruin have experienced in all fairness

 

[Dizzay]

When it comes to Vaak/Lauzon, I think Sweeney will decide where they are going with Krug, potentially even prior to the season starting. If he wants to be here for 6-7 mill per year, I'd get him signed long term. If he's looking for north of 8 million, I work on a trade asap and get Vaak on this team, potentially grabbing a top 6 RW in the process

 

[Alicat]

Axel Andersson isn't at camp today.

Wonder if he was sent to Moncton

No Vladar either

Edit: Cameron Hughes and Brendan Woods also not out there today

Hughes is hurt
Haven't seen Woods at all
No Senyshyn either,possible maintenance day for him?

Bummed that Hughes caught that skate up high in Buffalo. He was someone that was gonna open a lot of eyes in camp, IMO.

Completely forgot about Hughes being hurt.

More than likely that Senyshyn, Vladar and Andersson have maintenance days.

I suspect cuts will come Friday after tomorrow's game

I imagine he'll go to Providence camp before a decision is made to send him to the Q. I know Moncton is waiting rather impatiently. They are still counting on him joining the team.

AA was an insurance policy for the B's in case Carlo and McAvoy hadn't signed. That's done now so no big incentive to keep him around. Best to send him where it's best for his development.

Good stuff as always.

Thank You!

Isn't Woods just an AHL contract? I know Zech is but maybe they just told him to wait until Providence camp opens? Too bad they could use him against the Flyers who have Issac Ratcliffe, Andy Andreoff, Chris Stewart and Kurtis Gabriel on the roster at forward and Philippe Myers and Sam Morin on D.

 

[BruinDust]

Glad to see you back after the summer and also see you have a new whipping boy for the year

Good to be back, although I'm going to be far less active this year. The time just isn't there these days. But I had to get my licks in on Lindholm early.

I do, I was right about Riley Nash (bum) and to a lesser degree about Acciari who was very overrated defensively IMO but probably better offensively than I gave him credit for. I'm glad both are gone, sad that they found a need to bring in a stiff of a player in Par Lindholm. He's not even that good at face-offs. What does he bring? Good positioning and awareness I guess. He's more Riley than he is Acciari, just total vanilla player.

Lots of AHL only deals in camp and he's listed on the camp roster

*******, alien abduction

Can'trule

*******, alien abduction

Can't rule it out

 

[Aeroforce]

The new off and ice players are in camp, too.

Here's Sophia J. interviewing Sean Kuraly. It may take me a while to get her last name.

Last year you could add Nordy and Krug, they were constant whipping boys in the GDT's. God forbid if they made a mistake or missed a hit. Funny they ended up being 2 of the best playoff performers for us.

Today's groupings

Bjork-coyle-heinen is exactly what I wanted to see

 

[DKH]

When it comes to Vaak/Lauzon, I think Sweeney will decide where they are going with Krug, potentially even prior to the season starting. If he wants to be here for 6-7 mill per year, I'd get him signed long term. If he's looking for north of 8 million, I work on a trade asap and get Vaak on this team, potentially grabbing a top 6 RW in the process

If they offer Krug between 6.5-7 M for 6 years I’d expect him to take it

The Bruins would then likely protect Carlo McAvoy and Krug. Vaakanainen and Zech would not need to be protected

Exposed would be Grzelcyk Moore Clifton Zboril Lauzon

Assuming they are all still here

 

[Estlin]

Bjork-coyle-heinen is exactly what I wanted to see

I'd like to see Bjork on line one or two and Senyshyn on line three with Coyle and Heinen. This way, there is a shooter on each of the top three lines (Pastrnak, Debrusk and Senyshyn).

 

[Alan Ryan]

Hughes is hurt

No Senyshyn either,possible maintenance day for him?

From the Bruins website:

Defenseman Axel Andersson and forward Zach Senyshyn were banged up during the preseason opener in New Jersey on Monday night and did not practice.

Bruins Get the Band Back Together

any chance Gaunce can make this team?

There's always Tuukka waiting at the end of the tunnel.
