The Bruins still have thirteen active defensemen on the roster. While the loss of two veteran defensemen is tough, the Bruins should be able to find a few players that can step up. Matt Irwin looks like he’s all but a lock at this point. The big race should be between Joe Morrow and Colin Miller for the last spot on the roster now.
“We’ve got Providence camp coming on Sunday, so there will be some cuts coming. We a€™ll keep bringing the numbers down, but we have some guys that are playing well and are deserving of second and third looks,” said coach Claude Julien of the Bruins’ moves. œWe’ve also got two guys that have gone down injured [Dennis Seidenberg and Zdeno Chara], and that’s allowed other guys to get a better look, and a longer look.
