A getaway day lineup straight from the 2023 Redsox playbook. I wonder if anyone (Poitras, McLaughlin, Mitchell) will force their way into tomorrow’s A-squad tilt?
Will be interesting to see what Poitras can do with bottom 6 line mates. And how Mitchell plays paired with Lindholm.
As much as I’d like to see Poitras break camp with the Bruins I expect they’ll give him a year to get stronger.
Anyway, hooray hockey, go B’s.

Monty said they were splitting the roster up for tonight and tomorrow based on the PP so that each of the NHL PP units got the bulk of the PP time. Poitras was out there with basically the Opening Night PP2- Lindholm, DeBrusk, Coyle, Geekie. Might be an indication Poitras has a shot at sticking.
Yeah he has. If none of the young guys break camp, I can see a few guys, like Mitchell, Lohrei, Poitras, and Beecher that unless they regress over the year you can pencil them in next year, which would be huge.
I wasn't sure if I was the only one disappointed with Lysell, he doesn't seem to put in the effort or willing to do dirty work
You're definitely not the only one. He's nowhere near NHL ready IMO, and unfortunately looks like he did absolutely nothing to improve upon the issues that popped up last year. He's obviously really young, but if he's not willing to put in the work he's never going to be anything but an AHL tweener.
I would absolutely love if this happens. The kid is fun to watch. His vision and passing seem NHL ready for sure
He reminds me a ton of Krejci.
Super mature style of play, slows the game down, unreal vision, great playmaking.
Good comp. I like how every time he possess the puck he always seems to make the right pass. Like a few minutes ago he got that puck in front of the net, and I fully expected him to shoot a "panic" shot, but he turned made a nifty little pass out high. I'd think he'd immediately be one of the best passers on the team, and I'm dreaming of him constantly finding Pasta as he drifts onto gaps.
ya ya ya preseason blah blah blah let me dream lol
Tonight's lineup:
JVR - Zacha - Pastrnak
Marchand - Poitras - Frederic
Lucic - Beecher - Lauko
Kuntar - Megna - Heinen
Lohrei - McAvoy
Grzelyck - Zboril
Forbort - Shattenkirk

So Poitras bumped Merkulov to the bench and gets a shot with Marchand. Fun!
Kuntar and Megna are clearly going to be cut. Slide Debrusk, Coyle and Boqvist back in to get to 13 Fs. Waive Brown and probably Greer (unless they decide to cut bait with Heinen).
Lohrei and Charlie Mac together as a pair is worth watching. Forbort and Shattenkirk? Could be dicey.

and he overcommitted and was out of position on that second one, he does nothing well.
Beecher has reach! Lohrei looks a little less ready for prime time, Poitras should stick at least through the first 9 games of the season.
Am I the last to realize that Megna's father-in-law is Jim Craig?

I definitely want him on a line with Brad, especially after that Brad like spin move. I agree with putting him with Brad and Jake, he'll learn to play the right way
Not to take anything away from the goal but something tells me Kutznezov is going to give a slightly bigger effort in the regular season.
I would LOVE to see your proposed line. And Lohrei is undoubtedly going to Providence but who knows who will be traded at the deadline to open a space on D.
