Grading the Bruins Before Training Camp

Evan Marinofsky goes solo on Bruins Beat to project how Boston’s roster will perform this season ahead of training camp. Evan puts the Bruins through his preseason tier list, grading players based on the type of year he expects them to have rather than where they currently stand. He breaks down Boston’s forward group, including expectations for Morgan Geekie, James Hagens, Elias Lindholm, Fraser Minten, Casey Mittelstadt, Pavel Zacha and Matt Poitras. Evan also makes a huge prediction for David Pastrnak and JJ Peterka, believing the two could become one of the NHL’s most dangerous offensive combinations. On defense, he sorts through Boston’s crowded blue line and evaluates Nikita Zadorov, Mason Lohrei and Charlie McAvoy. Finally, Evan turns to the goaltenders and explains what he expects from Jeremy Swayman and Michael DiPietro this season. 0:00 Intro 0:48 Bruins Preseason Tier List 2:25 Bruins Forwards: Eyssimont, Geekie & Hagens 7:12 Elias Lindholm, Fraser Minten & Casey Mittelstadt 10:51 David Pastrnak & JJ Peterka Predictions 13:33 Pavel Zacha & Matt Poitras 16:30 PrizePicks 18:43 Bruins Defense & Blue-Line Logjam 24:31 Nikita Zadorov, Mason Lohrei & Charlie McAvoy 29:22 Jeremy Swayman & Michael DiPietro 31:37 Final Thoughts & Outro Bruins on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!
