"We know Potsy is a great player. He's still so young and finding his way, and every little bit he's up here, you gain experience, and you can slowly see him just getting better and better and confident," Coyle said of his 20-year-old center. "It's a hard thing to do as a young guy to come in, especially playing with a couple of older guys, and it can be overwhelming. But you don't really sense it from him. He's a guy who's quietly confident in a good way. And he's skilled, he can hang on to the puck and make plays with it."
Regardless of whether this team stays the course or opts for a retool, Boston needs to gain some clarity on a few potential building blocks in an otherwise-unstable prospect pipeline. And if the play of both Matt Poitras and Mason Lohrei on Monday is any indication, embracing a youth movement for these next three months needs to be the priority for a team in desperate need of some silver linings this winter.
