Bergeron, Seguin, Hamilton, Griffith and Subban scare me already ...
Do they have anyone good in AHL now ?
And don't forget Krejci and Marchand who are only 26 and 24
Ryan Spooner and Jared Knight are probably their 2 best prospects in Providence but for Knight he has been injured a lot in the last year. Injury prone player
Bruins will be solid for years if they can keep the core together
Personally I wanted Khokhlachev back in Windsor this year. The KHL is such a different style of hockey I would have preferred him staying in North America and being a dominant junior. He has got a lot better since coming back from the Subway Series with a renewed confidence, five points in seven games after two points in 19 games before. As long as he continues to get consistent ice time (which he should, his father is the GM) and doesn't let the fact he's not gonna put up huge numbers playing on a terrible offensive team in a very low scoring league get his confidence down I'm fine with a year of the KHL and he should learn a thing or to from that level of play. He also shows no intentions of sticking in Russia as he's already signed an NHL contract and I'm pretty sure would have played in the AHL if he could this year (only went to Russia because he felt he was done with the OHL).
Thanks for your input, much appreciated Didn't realize his father was the GM, that explains the trip back home then.

Collberg with Lindholm should be very productive.
Collberg/Lindholm If that line stays together into the round robin, I'm going to mail poisonous spiders to TSN for not showing any Sweden games.

Their two biggest pieces are aging...Chara and Thomas...and Thomas may never play there again. Rask is promising but he may never reach the levels Thomas did in the last 5 years. Chara is 35.

Agreed, the main reason they won the cup to begin with was Thomas stepping his game up. Rask is good and Subban is promising, but neither are proven the way Teabag Timmy was.
And as good as Hamilton is going to be...they are going to have an adjustment period with Chara's decline.
The Bruins likely have a bright future sadly, but that team is going to have growing pains.

Collberg and Lindholm have had chemistry previously. I hope Timmins is taking notes.
Liking Binnington a lot more than Malcolm. And it's not a Boston thing. Binnington is just really well positioned with pretty good rebound control. Just needs to work on covering the top of the net.
Collberg being played a lot today. He has great hands, skating ability and shot. Also he looks a lot bigger out there today. He has the trust of the coaching staff.
