I liked Cross a lot in preseason.
Maybe it's his time?

I liked Cross a lot in preseason.
And suddenly, Tommy Cross turned into
Seth Griffith!
Wow,finally;Talent Analysis
Cross is a big defenseman who is not only strong on his skates but can turn on the jets when necessary. Overall he sees the ice well and has considerable hockey sense. He uses his size and strength, along with good stickhandling ability to effectively shut down opponents around his net and along the boards. Cross will play physical game with an emphasis on his defensive play but does have a strong shot and some limited offensive capabilities.
Futurez
Cross attended training camp with the Bruins before being assigned to AHL affiliate Providence at the start of the 2014-15 season. Now in his third pro season, Cross saw more ice time than expected early in the year due to injuries to defensemen throughout the Bruins' organization and has taken advantage of the increased role. He has displayed some of the offensive attributes of his Boston College days while at the same time playing a strong two-way game. Long-term he could project as high as a Dennis Seidenberg-type, if he can continue to refine his outlet game and continues integrating himself into the play in all three zones. Injuries have slowed his progress and there is a lot of depth in the Boston organization. He may have to head elsewhere to get his NHL opportunity.

You can play this game every year with every draft. It's just mental ************.Good luck to Dr Cross but he will always be linked to how much we screwed up the 2007 draft for me..
the first two rounds of the 07 draft.
Our draft
Zach Hamill
tommy Cross ( we move up to get him )
Scabs
Max Pacioretti
Ryan McDonagh
Pre K Subban
oh and Wayne Simmonds was taken with the last pick in the 2nd round who seemed like a prototypical bruins pick...
Best of luck to Tommy Cross but every time I hear his name I think what if we'd have had the Habs draft that year...
