I was looking at some pre-season stats killing some time between meetings. I came across these stats below for a Bruins player this pre-season

With this player on the ice the Bruins:

Out-shot Opp: 17-9
Out-chanced Opp: 22-6
Out-HD Chanced Opp: 11-4

The player of these.....Jaxson Nelson

Yeah, Lysell sure showed that talent last night. He has one good preseason game, does not deserve to be on the team.

no one showed talent last night - especially not tufte

With 2 goals in 3 games I would be shocked if Brazeau was not at least in the bottom 6.

You can slide Beecher to wing and Kastelic to center and put Brazeau at RW. I don't think they signed Jones to be 13th forward though. It may well end up Beecher as 13th forward as Kastelic is one of the few forwards who has shown up every game he has played in the preseason.

Bruins’ roster hopeful fights quickly in his preseason debut

Jeffrey Viel's gloves hit the ice early in his first Bruins preseason game.

The Bruins made three moves before heading to Washington for their final exhibition game

Fair

I think you're nuts if Brazeau isn't in your middle-6.

I should catch-up on my Behind the B's. I have about 8 of them sitting on my DVR lol

haha, I find myself doing the same but watched this one where Sweeney states loud and clear that the lineup in Game 1 is NOT the finished product, loved it

I think you're nuts if Brazeau isn't in your middle-6.

Brazeau had 5 goals in 19 games last year. If that's his pace he's a 20+ goal scorer and we don't have many of those. Goals will be hard to come by some nights for this team and so I agree, Brazeau has to be on that 3rd line.

Will he get 20 goals? Maybe not, but I don't see him as a defensive liability so he deserves the spot until someone better takes it from him.

Kastelic is definitely going to be on the 4th line. Anyone else idk.

Why would they play Frederic and Johnson on their off wings?

What's the verdict on Tyler Johnson? Do folks want to keep him or go with someone else?

I’d rather they went with in-house players so that youth can get a chance, but in all honesty I can’t say that any of the hopefuls outplayed him. He’s arguably been better. 1 year deal on short money, sure. He could still be waived to Providence and have his cap hit buried if he falls off the cliff.
