What the heck. I'll jump on the 20 game bandwagon.
Centres
Mike Modano - Has had a quiet season so far. Top ten in scoring for centres. Hasn't really got into a groove yet. We expect more for 10 MILL. Grade - C+
Kris Draper - Solid centre. Has played awesome on the second line. Has 6 goals and 17 points in 21 games. More than the Bruins had hoped for. Phenominal in PK. Grade - B+
Yanic Perreault - Unexpected power play master. Bruins best acquisition this year. In second place with 6 PP goals. Great defensive work on the third line. Grade - A
Christian Berglund - Hasnt played many minutes for the Bruins but has managed to get hurt. Grade - D
Claude Lapointe - Has played few minutes. Is in training for a World Record 60 minute game. Grade - if he plays the full 60 A+ - if he doesnt F
Left Wings
Ilya Kovalchuk - Leads leauge in points. Second in PP goals and shots. Currently with a 10 game point streak. Grade - A +
John LeClair - Has played very solid. Was hurt for a week. On a point per game pace. Can't complain. Grade - B
Erik Rasmussen - Ahh yes, the much sought after Rassy. Has been up and down all year. Played pretty crappy for the Bruins. More was expected with second line time when LeClair was out. Grade - C-
Vitalli Yachmenev - 2 games with the Bruins and one game misconduct which was the result of an injury to an opponant. Fan favorite. Grade - C
Right Wings
Pavol Demitra - Playing as expected. Has done a great job on the first PK unit this year much to managements surprise. Third in assists, current 10 games point streak, 4th in scoring for RWers. 12th in scoring. Grade A
Shawn McEachern - Inconsistant play has lessened his worth. It was hoped he would relish the role as a second line RWer. Decent work on the PK doenst make up for generally lazy equal strength play. Grade - C
Darren McCarty - Bruins were worried with his acquisition due to high PIMs per game average. However, has cut down to minimal PIMs while providing solid defensive play and leadership in the dressing room. Grade - B
Brian Holzinger - An example of a premier athelete. Has no comparision in Pro Sports. The Point That Stopped The World will live in sports history forever. Grade - A+++
Dmen
Sergei Zubov - Has performed as expected. Plays on first and fourth lines, PK and PP. One of the top d-men in the CPHL. Replaced Gonchar and more. Grade - A+
Chris Chelios - The old workhorse has found his game again with the BRuins. Some PIM trouble has had him in the doghouse at times but that tough play has also injured opponants. 9 points in 18 games is a bonus. Grade - B+
Dan Mcgillis - Plays a quiet, steady game. Can step it up when called upon. Grade - B
Sean O Donnell - Very disappointing so far this year. After a 60 point season was expected to play as well with Zubov. 8 points and a -9 is well below expectations. Grade - C-
Aaron Ward - After a hot start with the Devils has cooled WAY down. Went from a point per game with the Devils to 1 point in 15 games with the Bruins. Grade - D
Curtis Leschyshyn - Veteran leadership is his job and the team and hes done great. In the + and with a few points is exactly what is expected. Grade - B
Mattias Timander - Plays few minutes on the 4th D line. 5 points in 21 games is a bonus. Can't complain. Grade - B-
Goalies
Mike Dunham - Hasnt played a game for the Bruins.
Tommy Salo - Stepped up and performed when Nabokov was tired. Has played above expectations. Currently playing until Dunham can get healthy. Grade - C+.
Overall the Bruins GM is happy. Some bad breaks earlier in the season got us off on the wrong foot. The Bruins expect to make and do well in the playoffs.
