Dougie Hamilton, Bruins Have Bright Future But Season Still Threatened by CBA Talks

Bruins fans have been waiting for the 2012-2013 season to start ever since the B’s early exit in first round of last year’s playoffs. Without many offseason moves being made by the front office, fans are eager for the season to get underway so they can finally get their hockey fix.

Until a new collective bargaining agreement is sorted out, though, the fate of the upcoming hockey season is in jeopardy. While fans are concerned that the season might be delayed or — heaven forbid — cancelled entirely, they also have plenty of questions about what to expect on the ice if the season does go ahead as scheduled.

NESN.com Bruins reporter Douglas Flynn took to Twitter on Thursday to answer all your questions about how Dougie Hamilton will fit in with the Boston defense, who’s going to be the Bruins’ toughest competition this year and if the NHL is heading towards another lockout.
