Until proven otherwise, the Bruins are the champs. As such, there’s a serious case to be made for filling up your fantasy roster with Bruins.
Up front, there is an embarrassment of variety to choose from. If the B’s play 25 games, there will be many players with ~20 points. Remember: HockeyPoolExpert.com picked Krejci as our Eastern Conference Center last year and that turned out extremely well.
The Bruins lack a convincing #2 scoring defenceman, so even Bruins fans might consider taking a Kris Letang or Kimmo Timonen to round out your defensive picks.
In net, the normal uncertainty (“will Thomas and Rask split starts?”) is moot due to a Rask injury. Given new backup Marty Turco’s very rusty play, count on Thomas playing every game.
Choosing Bruins is as safe a bet as this year’s playoffs have to offer!
