Tenacious Forward Cole Koepke a Surprise Addition to Bruins Lineup

It’s hard not to root for a player like Cole Koepke. Since the day he first entered Boston Bruins training camp, the 6-foot-1, 204-pound forward has had to rise to the occasion on a team full of giants.

Looking at the overall construction it seems pretty flawed. Not saying it's not going to work, but just a few thoughts...

The forwards are super thin, especially since none of the kids stepped up and Matty P hurt.

The defense seems to be pretty expensive. 30 mil or so. All of the value of having an ELC deal on the 2nd pair is negated by almost 8 million on the 3rd pair.

Goalie wise, it's seems insane to have a 3 mil dollar backup to a guy you just gave 8+ million too but maybe they really thought they could get him under 7. Just odd

Would a guy like Arvidsson at 2 rw and Wotherspoon at 3LD be better than Geekie at 2RW and Z at 3LD?

I'm sure it will all work out as the season goes on, but it really doesn't seem like this was the finished product game one they imagined?

I wonder if Arviddson was interested he took a short term deal to play in Edmonton. Feels like maybe he wanted to play with McDavid and Draisaital.

Sure it was brought up many times but they still f***ed up, like it or not. People mess up but 3 picks in a row, come on.

Jeez dude if it takes you 10 years to move on from a couple botched draft picks I can't imagine how long you hold a grudge for

Yeah they really whiffed on Pasta, McAvoy, Carlo, JDB, Swayman, Frederic etc etc
