Player Discussion Matthew Poitras II

[ODAAT]

Poitras wasn`t the worst Bruin, but one of, I think 3 (Beecher/Lohrei) who don`t have to clear waivers

Dom speaks highly of the kids character so I expect him to report with a great attitude

Soft on the puck, invisible most nights. Make sense to get him reps somewhere since he wasn't getting them here.

I doubt he is even disappointed with the decision. More than anything, he will use it as motivation.

I think this is a good move. Poitras and the Bruins were put in a very difficult situation last year. No sense in rushing him - but the options were ridiculously limited.

As others have suggested, at the very least give him time to physically mature. Getting hammered over and over isn't going to do anyone any good.

could see this coming.
im just surprised how he keeps making same mistakes. His hockey iq is not as good as I thought.

He’ll get hammered down there too.

Merkulov will get his chance,

Bruins send down Matt Poitras: Who are they likely to call up?

The Bruins are likely to call up somebody after sending Poitras down.

yep, based on what you`ve said about the kid for more than just a few years, I suspect this is true, kid seems to get "it"

He`ll be fine, simply a great opportunity to play a ton, he`ll be back with the big club sooner than later I suspect

Bold part: - if he isn't disappointed, he should have started the year in AHL!
Underligned: - Hope so! Kid is talented but alot to learn.
