This camp begins the single biggest opportunity, or grimmest reality, for Boston’s defense.

Happy Camp Opening Day, everybody!

Today, plenty of young prospects who’ve been going through some optional skates throughout the month of december and have largely been AHLers, in-betweeners, and brief European hockey stars while waiting for opportunities to open back up here in the states. That ends today.

Or really, it ended on the 31st of December, as the Bruins decided that now was time to move on from Zdeno Chara, after some deliberation post-Torey Krug exit, leaving two spots on the left side open.

Today begins the biggest week of the lives of all of their prospects of course, but their Left D prospects especially: Urho Vaakanainen, Jeremy Lauzon, and Jakub Zboril, as well as recent college signings Jack Ahcan and Nick Wolff.
