Moving on

Based on what I seen so far, which is based on two games watched in person + TV highlights, commentary, written etc... here are my predictions for the 22 man Roster / and who would be on the bubble if it comes down to a 20 man roster.

I really like Lucic and hate to put him on the bubble list, but he needs to get his timing back, looked a bit behind the play. On the other hand I think we expect to much from this young talent putting him on the scoring line right away. He will be a solid top six forward but needs two more years. Mind you his presence brings alot to the team, he can turn a game around with a good hit or a good fight.

Either way when we look at the potential of the players fighting for a spot, I think we are in great shape.

Lucic on the bubble? That right there alone made me completely question your knowledge and list. No chance in hell Lucic is on the bubble.

Wow! Way ta go out on a limb there D'Arcy! Whadda ya think? Think the sun will rise in the East tomorrow? Having said that, you can be excused for such eccentricity.You're probably basing your 'wild' predictions on what we've all seen and heard from Coach Julien and General Manager Chiarelli the last coupla years; 'Dare To Be Tough To Play Against!' ; 'Shoot For The Middle!' ; 'We're Number 16!!' Chiarelli especially. C'mon Man! You need to make some Cap Room so you're in the business of making Hockey Decisons! Rask, Wheeler, Sobotka will probably all go to Providence for reasons that have nothing to with their Hockey skillsI That's wrong! And that is the kinda thing that makes Bruins fans cynical and defeatist C'mon! Shake it up! And D'Arcy, thanks for restating the premise.
