Thanks for posting. Regula is still listed as injured, according to PP. So, technically, he's in the same spot as Poitras. PP says he's anticipated go to go tomorrow, so I assume they'll waive him then.

I'm not. He was average in pre-season and he's unproven in the NHL. What team is claiming him and keeping him on the roster all season long?
I need some clarity on this, as I've understood it as you say in Bussi's case. However, we just saw Patera get waived and reclaimed by Vancouver. Clearly Boston did not have to keep him on the roster all season long.

He would go on waivers tomorrow and if he clears Wednesday he will go down.
He's on SOIR so there is no cap hit.

So I was wrong. Evan Gold found a way.
I don't know when, but I'm happy they did

They didn't. He's injured non-roster as is Regula and Poitras.
I had no idea Mitchell was injured and explains why he wasn't put on waivers.

I saw a tweet earlier (sorry wasn’t able to find it) that he got hurt at practice today and was bloodied.
Edit: Found it

Swayman is listed as the backup, but the game might be postponed because of Hurricane Milton.

Tufte I am surprised by. He’s big, only average speed and has hands of stone. Must have liked what they saw in practice
Who-hoo! Now we have 2 1/2 top-6 forwards instead of 1 1/2. Better D too.

Geekie was a very good addition to the Bruins roster. He should help this year.
Sure, if you count Coyle and Zacha. And some even count Geekie (Morgan, not Conor). Sure, they’re passable, but would be better if we had more high-end top-line talent so that they could both be on the 3rd-line where they belong, as we spent all of last year saying. But there is a reality cap and we don’t have them.
Anyway, in Behind the B Don said that the playoff roster is not necessarily set in October, that there was no point getting a body in free agency just to get a body, and if they identify a need during the season they’ll address it. But with what cap space I have no idea.
Sure, but he’s just another jag and we have tons of those. But at least our jags are big this year lol. And we do have a top-line centre this year at least. And there is a salary cap and reality says you can’t have 6 Pastas in the top-6 (or even four, as in TO) so it is what it is.

What if he is a big jag that gets to the puck first and can make a play with it? I love how Sweeney identifies needs and addresses them. I think this team has a better bottom six this year and a bigger meaner defence. The defence doesn’t have any small players. Even the depth is big. When injuries happen they have plenty of options.
You don’t think these guys are second line players?
Are you Brad Marchand that you love the way he plays? Do you think Morgan Geekie is a top-six winger? Yes, I think the bottom-six is better, and yes I think the defence is better, and bigger and meaner, and yes Geekie can get the puck, but whether he can do anything with it, like score, is another matter.
Yes, we need guys who play the right way, who can win battles and who can get the puck and keep the puck, and yes Sweeney has done a good job getting those kinds of guys. But that’s primarily who we do have. And always have. But you also need guys who can score. We have one of those. Maybe 2. Maybe 2.5. We’ll see.
In any case, many of us spent all of last year saying that we have 1 1/2 top-six players. My post was a reference to that: that now we’ve increased from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 with the, much needed, addition of Lindholm. All that said I am indeed optimistic about this year. Go Bruins!!!!
Edit: I think Coyle and Zacha are borderline 2nd-line players. At least neither of them have to be 1 or 1a centre this year. That helps in and of itself. But you win by having 1st-line talent on the 2nd line and 2nd-line talent on the 3rd, not the reverse. But speed and size and toughness and defense (and goaltending!) do mitigate that to a certain extent. So, again, we shall see.
