When all D are healthy who sits ?

[whatsbruin]

I will assume the top 7 D are : Chara, McAvoy, Carlo, Krug, Moore, Grzelcyk, and Miller. So the question is who sits. I'll just include all D'men in this one . I suppose you could play all 7, and rotate a D'man out every game or few games, but lets just say one is going to sit. Who is it ?

Great problem to have honestly.

As far as sitting players goes- I go with it depends on the match up that you maybe swap Gryz and miller in and out.

But Gryz has been REALLY impressive.

Again, this is a great problem to have. Especially with Vaak getting back into it and having guys like Kampfer/Lauzon around as well.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Gryz has been really good, but I think he'll be the one to sit/rotate.

 

[UConn126]

I rotate Gryz, Miller, and Moore. Chara-McAvoy and Krug-Carlo are my top 4. Rotate the other 3 in the bottom pair. Moore was a great signing, and this is a great problem to have.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

This one is tough. 48 has been good, Moore excellent and Miller brings a singular skill: toughness.

I beleive it will depend on opposition but in the PO Miller and Moore needs to be in the line up

LD’s

Chara
Krug
Moore
Grzelyck

RD’s

McAvoy
Carlo
Miller

So it would seem to me Moore/Gryz will be the odd man out

Plus keeps those guys fresh as there the only D to basically play every game this season

These things have a way of working themselves out.

Don't want to sound negative, but it's a pipe dream to think the D will not have more injuries. In a perfect healthy world there will be a good amount of rotation of the bottom D. All depends on matchups. It's an awesome situation for Bruce. D and goalie are the two areas where the Bs should be absolutely set when the playoffs roll around, barring injury to key players (Carlo please stay healthy!).

Only evidence to me... 48 sits in the PO inf no injuries. In season, depends who is the opponents.

 

[veganbruin]

Moore or Miller. Gryz has been our best defensman all season. Deserves the play and has earned his stripes.

 

[veganbruin]

Also I believe the team will not sit Gryz.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Also I believe the team will not sit Gryz.

PO is another animal... we will see.

 

[weaponomega]

I think it depends on the opponent. Big, strong teams sit Grz, faster teams, sit Miller.

 

[PlayMakers]

What are the odds all D are healthy at the same time?

 

[gumgum]

Grizz has been so good that if you're going to sit him you should move him.

 

[gumgum]

Kevan Miller should sit.

Not just that, but players play dinged up pretty heavily a lot. Having the kind of depth the Bs will have once everyone is back will afford Bruce the ability to allow guys to sit out and heal for stretches when they get dinged up just short of being officially injured. That's a bigger deal than some folks may realize, especially deep into the season and during the playoffs.

That's a good point. One I hadn't considered.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Miller wont sit. He kills penalties.

It will Grizz that sits.
But Im pretty sure somebody will get hurt before Miller gets back anyways.

You are right... but if they are all healthy, during the season it will depend on the opponents, PO starting 48 sits

Very true. Injuries happen. Also, no guarantee all these guys will still be on the team come playoff time. A trade would change some things.

 

[Sheppy]

Great question. I'll go with Gryz...

Maybe you try moving him for a forward, though.

why isnt kampfer on this list
i sit miller.. i leave mcavoy with gryz, carlo with chara and krug and moore

 

[Trap Jesus]

I think you can do some type of rotation with Moore, Gryz and K. Miller. Let them play it out.

Locks are excluded from this list, I think.
