7. Noel Acciari

Nobody wants to be the last guy picked, but someone has to be. In this case, the honor goes to Noel Acciari.

Now, this isn’t a knock against Acciari. He serves his role on the team. Acciari is a 4th line grinder who can rattle the boards with his hits.

Still, Acciari is a common commodity. There are plenty of players in the NHL that can do what Acciari does for Boston. It’s not that hard to find a decent 4th liner.

I think with all the guys Boston has to sign the team may just be forced to let him go. We saw Tim Schaller leave Boston last offseason so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Acciari leave.

So as you can see the Boston Bruins have some tough decisions to make at the end of the season. Some guys that Bruins fans love will probably have played their last game in the black and gold.
