It appears the final cuts have been made. After nearly six long months of no hockey, a couple sticky contract situations (i.e., David Pastrnak, Ryan Spooner), and a impressive showing by young players in training camp, the Boston Bruins 2017-2018 opening night roster is appears to be set.
Coming into the final day when rosters were due, there were really only a few unknowns. Who would be the last two defensemen on the roster, with one replacing Torey Krug in the lineup? The battle was down to Rob O’Gara, Matt Grzelcyk, and Paul Postma.
