I know at the start of camp Brown was the thought of 4th C. Let's include Beecher and Poitras in the top 4 Cs with Coyle and Zacha. Who's the 5th C? Freddy?

Edit: forgot about Geekie

Someone can clear this up?...if he sticks around for more than 9 games, is he then eligible for AHL, or do they lose a year on the ELC *and* have to send him back to juniors (Or of course keep him in Boston)?

He can’t play in the AHL until he’s 20. So after 9 games, the can either send him back to junior without losing an ELC year. If he’s on the roster after the 10th game, the year burns even if they send him back to juniors.

We're talking about the #30 (Beecher) #56 (P-man) and #58 (Lohrei) picks seemingly making the team. That ain't bad drafting.

edit: Not to mention Sway at #111

My point for a while is outside of the disaster 2015 draft (Debrusk aside) Sweeny has drafted pretty damn well, especially considering where the Bruins draft.

Poitras, Beecher, Mitchell, and Lohrei all on the positive side of the ledger. All 4 of them might make the initial roster. (I’d say that absent trading/waiving Forbort or Shattenkirk that Lohrei starts in the A).

Geekie looked good, Freddy with a strong effort. Boqvist fast but invisible. Brown forgettable.

I just don't see a path for Lohrei unless they finally pull the plug on Forbert like you said. But unfortunately for some reason they refuse to dump him. I'd still prefer Zbroil over Mitchell as the 7th Dman, but honestly either one is fine as the press box guy.

Poitras HAS to make this roster. Beecher looked really good as well, definitely wouldn't be upset with both making it over Greer/Heinen

Can we agree the Boqvist experiment is over? And just when I was prepared to give the last slot to Heinen Grier decides to show up and stick his hand in the air. Still think Heinen gets the job though.

So Poitras and Beecher make the team and Lohrei gets to work on his game until someone gets injured. Good for the kids!!!
