Thanks so much for this wonderful, excellent and informative blog.

Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your blog. You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good asset.

I like Khudobin- watched him quite a bit in Providence, could be a starter in the NHL, not on a cup team at this point but decent. He has a ton of upside and makes a great #2 guy for the B’s, hopefully he has a good season and decides to stick around

Khudobin is a good backup. He will play well in short stretches which is exactly what you want. He struggled in the KHL, but he was on a very bad team. To be honest, I think Tuukka is going to struggle as the number one guy. He gets worn out pretty easily and he really needs to have a good year or he could be moving on since he’s a free agent. 

As for Svedberg, he’s the real deal. He is a battler like TT and never quits on a save. That’s the kid to watch for. The unfortunate one is Hutchinson. He was a very good goalie in the O a few years ago, but he’s really struggled making the transition to the pro game, and a lot of it is confidence. He will more than likely be in the East Coast League next season.  Lars Volden was really not a very good pick (even though he was only a sixth rounder), especially since Garrett Sparks was still available.  Good legs, but very weak upstairs. He will spend his whole career in Europe.  I’m also not big fan of Gothberg, though he’s still young.  He’s big, but not particularly athletic. He’s a guy who is locked into that Finnish style and tends to lock up on shots and rely strictly on technique.  

Finally, don’t be surprised if the Bruins try to add Parker Milner to the fold. I know they like him as they had him in rookie camp to work out with the team last summer.  His arc from when he was a sophomore until now is amazing. He is not draftable as he is now an over-age player, so he has the luxury of being able to sign with any NHL team as soon as his college season is over, much like JT Brown and Torrey Krug last season.  Milner will be in high demand, but it’d be nice to see the Bruins make a play for him.  They will not be disappointed.        

Timmy!!!

Glad to see there’s going to be at least a partial season. I’m not actually much of a hockey fan, but I’ve enjoyed paying attention to how the teams do for a long time, and I’m glad it’s finally back on track. But I still kind of miss the Hartford Whalers, the Quebec Nordiques, and the Minnesota North Stars.

Khudobin looked terrific in his brief stint with the B’s last season. He should get at least a game a week backing up Tukka.
