00:00You mentioned that. It is the final game before next Wednesday.
00:03Still some spots kind of up in the air.
00:05I think they're down to 17 forwards.
00:07That third line feels it can go a lot of different ways.
00:11Yesterday at practice, Marco Serm talked a lot about Frazier Minton and Matty Potra
00:16and what's next for them and how they could make this team.
00:19What have you seen on that third line battle,
00:22specifically from guys like Frazier Minton and Matthew Potra?
00:26Well, very different players.
00:27So, you know, Minton is probably going to be a sentiment if he's going to play.
00:31And he's reliable, probably not as offensively gifted as a Potra,
00:38but better at other things than Potra.
00:41Potra's better offensively maybe than, you know, vision-wise
00:44and handling, you know, creating offensively maybe than Minton is.
00:49At least that's what I've seen through camp.
00:51So, you know, they've got a decision to make there.
00:54I mean, there's a handful of guys, right?
00:57I mean, they brought in Blumell and Steeves, and, you know,
01:01you've got Beecher sitting there, Husandinov.
01:04You know, there's still some major decisions to be made on those forwards.
01:09You say 17 forwards.
01:11I'll take your word for it.
01:12I can't remember exactly when I looked yesterday,
01:14but 17 forwards with only 12 dress, and you can only carry 23 players overall.
01:19So, you know, there's got to be these guys that are going to be sent down,
01:22and there's some waiver things involved.
01:25You know, teams could pick up a player that the Bruins send down.
01:28So there's a few decisions to be made here moving forward on who's going to make this team final.
01:36And you're going to carry at least one extra defenseman.
01:38You know, your goaltender, DiPietro, do you send him down?
01:44He has a two-year, one-way contract, which may deter people from other teams from signing him
01:49because he has that one-way deal.
01:52He has to clear waivers.
01:54If he's the guy that goes down, I assume it will be, unless they carry three.
01:58If they carry three, then you can only have one extra forward, one extra D.
02:01So there's a lot of decisions still to be made.
02:08So there's a lot of decisions still to be made.
