That’s three strong teams right there, I really don’t care how our wins and losses are coming out of that preliminary 3 game thing we’re doing as long as we get better every game and have our shit together when it counts. Looks like they’ll allow a larger roster size and their will be a training camp so does that mean guys like Studnicka and Frederic will actually get a chance to steal a spot?

1st time ever, the President Trophy winner isnt the #1 seed going into postseason and the 24th overall team could be in the playoffs..Of course the 2 teams we're talking about is Montreal and Boston.. IF Habbies beat Pens, are they automatically in the top 16?? If so and I was a Pen fan, I dont think I would ever watch another nhl game..It's pure injustice..

The win-now Bruins are not designed for on-site development. Zdeno Chara, Jaroslav Halak, Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Tuukka Rask and Brad Marchand are all 30 or older. With Stanley Cups within the organization’s immediate expectations, the varsity does not accommodate clusters of youngsters.
There are select openings, however, for specific skill sets. Jeremy Lauzon, 23, displaced Steve Kampfer because the Bruins needed a sturdy left-shot defenseman. The up-and-down play of Joakim Nordstrom gave 25-year-old Anton Blidh a seven-game audition. Because of Kevan Miller’s wretched injury luck, Connor Clifton, 25, projects to be the long-term right-side defenseman on the No. 3 pairing. It may be, then, that more youngsters will find NHL employment in Boston if they can contribute to championship efforts.
Beyond that, prospect incorporation may quicken down the line as the Bruins’ core players age out of the NHL. When these things happen, some of the following 10 players may be part of the next Black-and-Gold generation.
The Athletic’s prospects writer, Scott Wheeler, has provided notes and NHL comparables for each player. Goalies were not included because of the difficulty of projecting performance.
Jack Studnicka, C, Providence (AHL) High-end comparables: Nick Bonino, Chris Tierney
Wheeler: Studnicka is one of those players who has always been more than his raw production. The kind of kid who isn’t who doesn’t have an A-level quality, but has B-plus skills across the board. Even when he’s not producing (which the 21-year-old has begun to do at a high level relative to his age in the last couple of years, frankly), he still has tools to fall back on in all three zones. His versatility has become a real asset and should help him play up and down an NHL lineup with a variety of linemate types.
I suspect he has a nice career for himself as a middle-six forward, posting high-30s point totals if he’s playing in more of a checking role, and challenging for 50 points if he’s surrounded by a little more talent. That’s probably not what you’d hope for out of a top prospect, but Bonino and Tierney have made careers out of it. It might be a bit of a slower burn, but I suspect Studnicka has real value on a good team by Year 3 or 4 of his NHL career. I decided not to give him a low-end comparable because I think he projects fairly safely into that role now.
Shinzawa: The Bruins hope Studnicka can develop into a top-two NHL center to complement Charlie Coyle when Bergeron and Krejci are no longer around. If they could acquire another center, Studnicka could be the No. 3 pivot. If needed, Studnicka could also play right wing.
Studnicka had a good first pro season in Providence: 23 goals (including seven shorthanded strikes) and 26 assists in 60 games. He was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team. He will be with the Bruins if the season resumes, most likely as a spare part in case of injury or illness. Studnicka’s AHL days may be over.
“For a young, 21-old center who we feel is going to really be something that will play a big part for the Bruins in years to come, we want to make sure when he’s in there full-time, he’s making that impact,” Providence coach Jay Leach said of Studnicka’s development on The Athletic’s Perfection Pod. “I think he can certainly play now. There’s no question he can play now.”
Trent Frederic, C, Providence (AHL) High-end comparable: Barclay Goodrow
Wheeler: Frederic is never going to be an offensive player at the next level. I think he has slowly come to terms with that over the last couple of years after a college career that indicated there may have been something more there. At this point, he’s angling for a bottom-six checking role as a player who can contribute but won’t drive a line. He’s also just mean, and has continued to make himself even more of a pain in the ass on the ice.
He’s the only player on this list that I settled on just one comparable for – and that’s because Goodrow is just such a perfect stylistic fit. They’ve both got size. They’ll both make the odd play. They can both keep up with the NHL pace. But they’re physical, high-energy pests first and foremost, and they had to lean into that to carve out a niche in the NHL.
Shinzawa: The Bruins would be satisfied if Frederic develops into a long-term No. 3 center. They’d expect him to check, protect the puck, occupy space, provide some offense and make life unpleasant for opponents. Whether he’d extend his AHL fighting chops to the NHL is unknown, but Frederic has shown he’s always willing to throw down.
Leach has gone so far as to mention Tom Wilson when describing Frederic’s physicality, skating and touch. Wilson is a legitimate first-liner and arguably the most unique commodity in the league. Frederic does not project to approach Wilson’s ceiling. But snarl is always welcome in Boston.
“He has so many different attributes that not many have,” Leach said. “He’s obviously a bigger guy that has a heck of a shot. Can get up and down the ice. You add the physical component he has with confrontation, more than anything, being part of his game. I found he was really able to gain some huge strides, especially with his consistency. Night in and night out of being that guy to play against — when you can get to that point, you’re relentless. He certainly showed that. He’s going to continue to improve on that.”
Urho Vaakanainen, D, Providence (AHL) High-end comparables: Jordan Oesterle, Mario Ferraro
Wheeler: Vaakanainen has always been a little challenging to evaluate because he doesn’t have a ton of small-area puck skill. He’s not going to hit seams and create through traffic like most first-round defensemen. He’s not a great escape artist. But there are some really impressive qualities to his game, including admirable simplicity, a defensive game that has always been a little beyond his years and plus-level skating.
At this point, he projects as a complementary partner for a more talented player in the bottom-four. There’s a smoothness and ease to his game that should help him play a low-risk, possession-driving game at 5-on-5.
Shinzawa: So far, Vaakanainen has left the Bruins expecting more. He can skate, see the ice, keep his heart rate low and make simple plays. But the Bruins have not always been satisfied with his strength on the puck or intensity in the battle. Vaakanainen, the team’s first-round pick in 2017, will be in the mix if Torey Krug and/or Zdeno Chara do not return next season.
“Always a competitor, but started to really show signs of some offense,” Leach said of the left-shot defenseman (5-9—14 in 54 games). “I think he had five this year, all on the rush. He’s starting to get a little more comfortable there.”
Jakub Zboril, D, Providence (AHL) High-end comparable: Michael Kempny Low-end comparable: Oscar Fantenberg
Wheeler: Zboril has become more of a two-way type at the AHL level than a driver of offense. But that game probably always suited him when his puck skills didn’t take the steps anyone hoped for after an excellent rookie season in the QMJHL. These days he’s a heads-up, physically strong defenseman who defends the rush well, engages hard in man-on-man battles and probably has just enough skill to contribute semi-regularly in the NHL.
I’m actually a little surprised he hasn’t been given more of an opportunity. Some players just take a little longer to get there though, and he has the tools to figure it out. Kempny and Fantenberg didn’t make the NHL until they were in their mid-20s. But the former is now a useful No. 4 or No. 5 — and a Stanley Cup champion.
Shinzawa: It’s been a slow development process for Zboril, especially compared to former junior teammate Thomas Chabot. But the Bruins were pleased with Zboril’s Year 3 progression to the degree where the left-shot defenseman was among Providence’s best when the AHL shut down. Leach partly credited Zboril’s progress to Josiah Didier, his right-side stay-at-home partner. Didier was one of Providence’s most competitive defenders. The quality was contagious for Zboril.
Zboril will need waivers to report to Providence next season. Given his pedigree and skill set, it’s possible he’d be claimed. As such, Zboril’s make-or-break time is approaching.
“In the last 12 games, 15 games, he probably became our best defenseman overall,” said Leach. “His ability to move the puck cleanly, there’s not many that can do it at our level.”
Oskar Steen, C, Providence (AHL) High-end comparable: Jesper Bratt Low-end comparable: Denis Malgin
Wheeler: Steen didn’t have the immediate offensive impact I expected he would in his first year in the AHL. But he was still a good player on one of the AHL’s best teams. There was always going to be an adjustment to the smaller ice surface, especially given the game he plays and the time and space he was able to utilize in Sweden that disappeared in North America. He didn’t have size to fall back on in the corners, either.
I still think he has the problem-solving skills to figure it out and find his way into a middle-six role. Steen’s one of those players who could offer a line with two net-driven players a little more finesse and touch, which is where Bratt and Malgin come in.
Bratt has found a way of doing that in the NHL as a 40-something-point player over the course of an 82-game season. Malgin, who has become a bit of a tweener, is what happens when the talent and effort is there. But he just never quite puts it all together.
Shinzawa: Steen scored seven goals and 16 assists in 60 games as an AHL rookie this season. It’s not exactly a ripping output. Steen notched 17 goals and 20 assists in 2018-19, 10th-most in the Swedish Elite League.
But Steen’s relatively quiet AHL production signaled how challenging it can be for Europeans to acclimate to rinks that are 15 feet narrower. Steen also spent part of his first AHL season at right wing instead of center, his natural position.
Steen’s high motor, release, hockey sense and competitiveness are strengths that make his second AHL season worth monitoring. If he continues to develop, No. 3 center in Boston is not out of reach.
John Beecher, C, Michigan (Big Ten) High-end comparables: Charlie Coyle, Tyler Bertuzzi
Wheeler: Coyle and Bertuzzi are the two players I’ve always thought about as it relates to Beecher. If Beecher hits his ceiling, he’ll be pretty close to their carbon copy as a big, strong, physical presence who plays a hard, up-tempo north-south game.
The big question is whether Beecher will be able to develop his small-area skill enough to get to Coyle and Bertuzzi’s level offensively as the kind of player who puts up 40-45 points a year while offering all of those other qualities on the forecheck.
The frame and athleticism are already there. Time will tell if the rest can catch up.
Shinzawa: Beecher can fly. As he grows, the 19-year-old, who is already 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, is not going to lose any of his high-end speed. Such wheels, combined with how he should top out physically, are enough to make any pro coach anxious to get his hands on Beecher.
The Bruins drafted the left-shot center partly because of the approaching expiration dates of Bergeron and Krejci. Beecher scored nine goals and had seven assists in 31 games as a Michigan freshman. It’s too early to tell whether he can score at a top-two pace. But his physical tools give him a good foundation to build on the skill stuff.
Jakub Lauko, LW, Providence (AHL) High-end comparables: Matt Calvert, Melker Karlsson
Wheeler: I’ve never been particularly fond of Lauko’s skill level. He can get to the net and finish off plays in tight. He can skate. But he doesn’t see the ice particularly well and he’s not a high-end carrier, which forces him into more of a give-and-go game offensively – and limits his upside. There’s a lot to like about the detail in his game and his play away from the puck for his age. Things that Calvert and Karlsson have used to make themselves useful in bottom-six roles.
I don’t think he has what it takes to drive a line or play on an NHL power play, and he’s not the biggest or strongest player in the world. So he’s going to have to make himself useful in other ways by playing hard and smart on the inside of the ice.
Shinzawa: Lauko is fortunate, in one regard. The Bruins should be set at No. 1 and No. 2 left wing for at least the next three seasons with Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk. So if Lauko can work at his craft in Providence, the Bruins could find space for him at No. 3 left wing, perhaps by the 2021-22 season.
Lauko has breakaway speed. He has agitating qualities. He competes. Those are good qualities for a solid third-line left wing. If Lauko can add a degree of offense, he would be a very good No. 3 left wing.
Curtis Hall, C, Yale (ECAC) High-end comparables: Adrian Kempe, Warren Foegele
Wheeler: Hall is one of those players whose game is easy to assess and project. He just is what he is and he plays such a straightforward, predictable game. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. He’s got length, he can fly and he always goes to the net. There are really good players in the NHL who just do those three things really well.
Even as the game trends toward skill in traffic and on-puck creativity, you don’t have to have those things to find your way to the next level. Kempe and Foegele don’t. But if you are a player with some creativity, you can play with those guys because you know where they’re going when you have the puck (to the net) and when you don’t (to the boards to get it back).
Shinzawa: Hall, the Bruins’ fourth-round pick in 2018, is developing well at Yale. The right-shot Hall scored 17 goals and had 10 assists in 27 games this season as a sophomore. He scored one goal in five appearances at the World Junior Championship.
The 20-year-old projects to make a bigger step forward as a junior. If so, the Bruins would most likely want Hall to turn pro.
Jack Ahcan, D, St. Cloud State (NCHC) High-end comparable: An even smaller Sami Vatanen Low-end comparable: Brad Hunt
Wheeler: Hunt is the perfect low-end comparable for Ahcan. Hunt was always good enough, but he was never so talented that his NHL progression was a given. So he was always asked to prove it at every level before progressing to the next. Hunt didn’t really establish himself as a full-time NHL player until he was 29 as a result.
It’s not hard to imagine Ahcan, who has NHL skill, spending a few years bouncing between the AHL and the NHL before sticking either. Finding a high-end comparable is a little tougher, because there just aren’t very many players Ahcan’s size who’ve made it as more than a Hunt-level player over the years. I do think, stylistically, that there’s a lot in the 5-foot-8 Ahcan that also exists in the 5-foot-10 Vatanen, though, in terms of the heads-up, outlet-passing nature of their game. His odds of reaching that ceiling are really small, though. That’s just the reality defensemen his size face, even as the game gets smaller.
Shinzawa: The Bruins, always aggressive in the college free agent market, did well to land Ahcan. The left-shot defenseman and St. Cloud captain scored seven goals and 18 assists in 33 games in 2019-20.
It’s far too early to declare Ahcan as Krug’s successor if the latter does not re-sign. But Ahcan adds to the Bruins’ future options. The Bruins have seemingly cornered the market on undersized, offensive-minded left-shot defensemen, from Krug to Matt Grzelcyk to Cooper Zech.
Nick Wolff, D, Minnesota-Duluth (NCHC) High-end comparable: Brendan Dillon Low-end comparable: Derek Forbort
Wheeler: I have serious doubts as to whether Wolff makes it at all. If he does, it will be as a towering, overpowering physical presence on the third pairing and penalty kill. He can make that first pass out of his own zone and the simple play at the offensive zone blue line, but that’s where his game with the puck starts and ends. It’s also where Dillon and Forbort start and end. His length helps mitigate against his skating off the rush and then he can push people around in the defensive zone to win battles.
Is that enough? It is for a handful of NHL defensemen each season. I wouldn’t bet on it though.
Shinzawa: The Bruins are familiar with the 6-foot-5, 230-pound mammoth. The former teammate of Karson Kuhlman attended the team’s last two development camps as an undrafted invitee. Wolff’s offensive game is limited (0-10—10 in 33 games as a senior), but the Bruins like his physicality, competitiveness and leadership qualities.

I'm still pissed that they have 24 teams, makes no sense at all. Why not have top 6 teams automatically in and have 4-6 teams duking it out for wildcard spots?? Also by involving up to 24 teams, you increase the chance of some player getting covid19 simply because theres more players involved. 20 teams were alot fairer, at least the 4 teams that were not in playoff picture had a legit chance of making it, unlike 24 teams..

BOSTON - Phase 2 of the NHL's Return to Play Plan requires all players to be tested for COVID-19 prior to using the team's facilities. As part of this process the Bruins were advised that a player tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The player underwent two subsequent tests, and both returned negative. The player remains asymptomatic. The Bruins will continue to follow CDC recommendations and adhere to the NHL's protocol.
All Bruins players who have returned to this point during Phase 2 have now returned negative test results.
The Bruins, in conjunction with the National Hockey League, are providing these details in an effort to be transparent and will provide no further information at this time

I’ve been watching some Bruins October hockey on YouTube lately because I’m just trying to compare it to how it looks compared to mid season form. It’s not pretty execution wise but our record has been good to okay in our first 20 games of the season under Bruce Cassidy. If our record in extra time was .500 it’d be much better. No gimmicks in playoff OT so I think we’ll be okay. 2017-2018 season 9-11. 3 losses in OT, 1 from SO. 2018-2019 Season 11-9. 4 losses in OT 2019-2020 season. 12-8. 5 losses in the SO and one from the 3 on 3 crap. What’s the format for our first 3 games? 5 minute OT and SO or sudden death?

With the Bruins not offering a contract would it be the same Krug we saw last playoffs, or a more conservative/safe version.

Like I said before and of course Ory, it's only my opinion..I think its much FAIRER to have TOP 6 be in and have 4 teams fight for Wildcard positions.. This is better because lesser teams means a lesser chance of someone getting the virus AND Top 10 makes alot more sense and way more fairer than top 12..
