Itse haluaisin nähdä nuoria nostettavan ylös. Alberts, Jurcina, Stuart, Girard ja Jönssön. Siinä on valtavasti potentiaalia hukattavaksi jokavuosi Providenceen.
Pakiston suhteen Bruinsilla on hyvät näkymät:
Stuart is going to be a top four NHL defenseman, the only question is what kind will he be. If his offensive game isn’t very strong a frequent comparison is that he will be a Mike Rathje like player. However, some feel his upside is as high as to become a Scott Stevens-like player.
Jurcina has the size 6'4 to play in the NHL. He has skating ability and is a solid defensive defenseman. He must continue improving his offensive skills. At his size he must become more aggressive and forceful.
The additional ice time in Providence has proven beneficial to Jurcina’s development. He has made strides in his physical game and is beginning to use his size to his advantage.
Alberts has a chance with his excellent size and agility to make the Bruins as a 6th or 7th defenseman. Stay at home defenseman with very little offensive instincts. An excellent open ice hitter he punishes opponents skating down towards his net. He also began showing some puck carrying skills in his own end and making very good outlet passes.
Girard on jo näyttänyt osaamistaan ja toivottavasti toipuu täysin loukkaantumisestaan. Sen sijaan Jonsson on nähtävästi jätetty sivuun.
Defenseman Lars Jonsson, the Bruins' first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in 2000, signed with HV71 Jonkoping in his native Sweden. It is doubtful he will ever suit up for the Bruins.
Tuore 1. kierroksen varaus Matt Lashoff on tehnyt hyvän vaikutuksen ensimmäisessä pelissään leirillä.
Lashoff has the potential to be a top four NHL defender with some decent offensive upside. He will not likely develop into an offensive defenseman at the next level, but he will chip in his share of points while being a well rounder rear guard
