Nikita boston

It looks like Dop might be that guy going forward, with Wilder serving primarily as his backup. Nikita Nesterenko was a bit quiet through the first four games of the season, putting up just two assists to start his sophomore campaign. That changed in the two games against Colorado College and Denver, with Nesterenko scoring three goals and looking good all throughout the weekend.

He scored in a variety of ways too, which is always encouraging to see. His goal on Saturday night came on a breakaway while his two goals on Friday came from in close after winning some battles in front. We talked about this a bit in our season preview, but one of the big factors in how good BC can be this season is how the sophomore class of forwards performs, with Nesterenko being a key member of that group. With left in the game, BC got a power play chance after Drew Helleson drew a tripping penalty from behind his own net.

Jack McBain cashed in on the chance with a goal from right out in front, batting the puck out of mid-air for his second goal of the season.

With the emergence of Jack Studnicka and other youngsters, Kuraly could be seen as redundant in the Boston lineup and is a player who can be moved now in order to fill other holes.

In terms of fit with the Avalanche, Kuraly would be a very good option to play the 3C role, allowing J. Compher to move to the wing permanently. Kuraly is a big body who plays a physical style and is able to both win faceoffs and kill penalties - two aspects of the game that this Avalanche team needs to improve. There are other options as well, whether it be a trade for draft capital or something bigger. Another Bruin that has been thrown into the rumor mill recently is Tuukka Rask.

The potential exists that Zadorov could be a piece of a package going back to Boston in exchange for Rask, but that possibility is far less likely than a smaller deal involving depth players. What do you think, should the Avalanche finally move on from Zadorov? Is Boston the right fit?
