Personally I used to hate it when my parents told me time to grow up and get your shit together

It was tough the first few years but I learned to block it out

That’s all well and good on the part of Cassidy, but where would there be room on the team for Zboril?

Separating himself enough to be the 7th guy instead of Vaak, for example. With Moore and Miller out, and Kampfer basically an insurance policy Zboril would just need to prove he is the best option as that spare part and when given the opportunity, which should happen given injuries, poor play, what have you, make it impossible for Cassidy to sit him or Don to send him back. Not saying he can do it, but that is probably his path if there is one.

I think he wants them both to show they are NHL ready and push people for spots, which is where they should be by now. If their ELC's expire without them doing that I then see them both getting the Cehlarik treatment.

They have 2 starting defensemen injured right now- if ever there were a time to make his case this could be it. Then again it sure seems like injuries have them playing their 9th and 10th defensemen at some point every year.

Who would you rather have on a wing with David Krejci? Chuck Kobesew or Randy Burridge?

Sensyshyn is looking like Kobesew 2.0 and Kuhlman looks like he could be something like a Burridge (minus the PIMS).

 

[DKH]

This looks like Oct- February open audition to take that spot.

If not

2017 Rick Nash
2018 Marcus Johansson
2019 Taylor Hall

Shut your filthy mouth - I can't even let myself begin imagining possibly dreaming about it.

Ah yes, another natural left winger we'll try to force to the right side

Josh Anderson.......just saying......Josh Anderson

If Hall is on the left with Krejci you could have a bucket with a mop in it on the right and it would be effective.

Would be pretty disappointed to see him left off the opening-night roster in Boston, barring any injuries, because of someone like Ritchie, Lindholm, Wagner or other bottom-six guys. Think Senyshyn looked good in his two NHL games at the end of last year and saw a couple nice plays/attempts against Jersey this week in preseason.

Senyshyn, like you said, has the feet/physical traits alone to be a useful player in the NHL, so I think he could easily hang on a third-line right now and play well. Interesting theory about putting him at 2RW though, and something I've touched upon a while ago.

Senyshyn is great at keeping his feet moving and finding empty spaces in the attacking zone, especially while his team is cycling the puck around. Pairing him with a world-class playmaker like Krejci might be exactly what both of those players need. He seems like he could be a complimentary player to just about any line if need be. DeBrusk and Krejci could very well prove to be a great setup for Senyshyn.

On the other hand, I just don't see Cassidy rolling Senyshyn in the top-six, unfortunately, but I think he might just give him the looks at 3RW. Playing something like Heinen/Bjork/Cehlarik-Coyle-Senyshyn seems realistic and I think all those players can work together quite well. I think it's time to let Senyshyn develop in the NHL because he's ready for it, IMO.

This is perhaps one of the best analysis of Senyshyn I have seen. He's not an easy guy to get a read on. How many different wingers (draft pick, ufa signings, players acquired in trade) have been tried as Krejci right wing. Almost every decent winger in the organization, except Senyshyn. For all I know he can skate with the best.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Based on the lines in camp so far

Seems the opening night lineup will be

Marchand Bergeron Pastrnak
DeBrusk Krejci Kuhlman
Bjork Coyle Heinen
Nordstrom Kuraly Wagner

Pretty much how I see it and how it was at the end of the year. Forth line is perfect none of the guys brought in make it better and are not better at the speciality teams. Top line is The top line. Kuhlman has shown he has the hands and speed to compliment DeBrusk. Bjork looks ready and will add some speed to those two guys.

Bruins’ Karson Kuhlman will open season as second-line right wing - The Boston Globe


PHILADELPHIA — As he hones his lineup options in advance of the Oct. 3 opener in Dallas, Bruce Cassidy professed his reassurance with Karson Kuhlman as a second-line right wing — at least to start.

“I don’t think he’s going to drop off. He may [plateau], we don’t know, but I don’t think he’s going to get worse,” Cassidy said of the 23-year-old rookie, who settled in during his 19-game run last spring with left wing Jake DeBrusk and center David Krejci.

“To me, he’s too good a person — his short career dictates, from college to Providence to here, he’ll keep working on his craft, get more comfortable.”

At some point in the season, Cassidy said he would try Coyle, whose size (6 feet 3 inches, 220 pounds) and skating is similar to the wingers Krejci has had in the past. But that’s “more for down the road, playoff hockey,” in Cassidy’s words.

“I think we know we can start on opening night and Kuhly would be there and we’d be fine,” he said. “We’ll look to see if there’s a better fit.”

I'm not sure about that comparison. I see Lauzon as a legit NHLer who would be in the bottom pairing of any NHL team that did not have a stacked D like Boston. Cehlarik I am not convinced is an NHLer. Hopefully he has impressed enough people in the NHL that someone takes a flyer on him, because I dont think he will get a spot in Boston.

Oh I agree with you 100% actually. lol

I'm just holding myself to not "mention his name everyday as a guy that should make the team" just because they are so deep that he may not have a spot for now. But I think Lauzon would make it in almost any other teams in the NHL.

that's the point, you're a top 15 pick, play yourself onto a roster spot.

If by stacked you mean loaded with bottom pairing guys, sure.

Sheesh, so much for competition...Means all the spots are secured other than the 13th and 14th F

That would mean the top-9 is set:

Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
DeBrusk-Krejci-Kuhlman
Bjork-Coyle-Heinen
