was in Boston yesterday for a field trip... saw the Duckboats. Coincidence? Go Bruins....

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Some positive news, I think the Bruins have a future top 6 center in Poitras.

 

[Over the volcano]

Giddie up kid

 

[Mainehockey33]

Great news. Too bad he can’t play in Providence next season.

Greatest regular season ever parade? Lol

 

[KrugAvoy]

Awesome signing the kid. Poitras, Merkulov, and Harrison I'm excited to see

 

[HustleB]

Now Poitras still plays in Boston or Juniors next year and the contract would technically push a year?

Correct, if he plays Juniors next year than his contract slides a season.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Love this kid

 

[Baddkarma]

Didn't realize he was that small.

Hope he has a great career for the Bruins.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Ir hasn’t even been seven days yet.

I can’t

The Bruins should find a suitable way to honor this historic season. The team deserves it.

I guess kind of got trashed with the choke in the first round for me.

Resorting to toilet seat level huh.

Edit. My bad wrong thread.

#2 center!

 

[UConn126]

Big year on the stat sheet. Wonder if they think he has a shot at the big club next year and wanted to lock him in.

No chance. Providence. Not big enough.

 

[The don godfather]

Hes gonna be a good one. Book it!

Back to junior

 

[Mainehockey33]

So Poitras is going back to a league he already dominated. They need to change the rule so Canadian Junior players can play in the AHL as 19 year olds.

Mitch Marner was about the same size when he started his Leaf career so anythings possible especially if both Bergeron and Krejci retire.

I get it, but at that point you basically destroy Juniors, and that doesn't benefit anyone

I think they should raise the draft age to 20.

Juniors gets significantly better, and the draft becomes far more reliable/predictable. The only trade off is those rare talents that can play at 18/19 have to wait to come into the league, but I bet you also have less 1st overall busts.

 

[PlayMakers]

I’m excited for this kid. He was one of the standouts at Development Camp last year.

He is not ready for the AHL or he would be playing for Providence tonight and helping them.

Maybe the NCAA should change their rule so he can go there. That's a better option.
