Unless his game completely falls off, I have Blümel on this opening night roster. really like what I've seen and no use losing him on waivers for anyone else on the bubble. Aspirot sneaky good game. liked Locmelis game overall other need to show more.
Transferring his game to the NHL might be difficult, but if he can, Blumel could be the answer for the Boston Bruins.
