Against all odds, Jonathan Aspirot is nearing the opportunity to start the season on the Bruins roster.
The Boston Bruins have an abundance of options for their opening night roster. While the bottom-six forward depth has taken up most of the conversation, the battle for the last few defense spots was also full of candidates.
It's almost a guarantee that the six in the lineup on the opening night will be Charlie McAvoy, Mason Lohrei, Nikita Zadorov, Hampus Lindholm, Andrew Peeke, and Henri Jokiharju.
