Armstrong is a solid citizen, decent two-way forward. Not flashy, not afraid of contact. A good bottom six forward.
His Dad is the GM of the Arizona Coyotes.

That would mean his granddad (maybe great granddad) was Bob Armstrong, who played D for the Bruins in the '50s and wore #4 before some kid named Orr showed up.
This year's roster came out. There are 16 forwards. I have to think the four guys sitting in the stands will typically be among the group of Timmy Delay, Paul Davey, Will Traeger, Connor Joyce, Mike Posma and Gentry Shamburger. Although, Shambuger is the only player wearing an "A" this season.

Posma and Joyce both played every game last season. Barring injury I expect they will be fourth line regulars with Armstrong perhaps joining them.
I see where you're coming from, but I think it would be odd to see the team's only associate captain as a healthy scratch in the stands.
Given the level of talent on the blue line, I expect the extra skater to be a 7th defenseman. All that being said, injuries tends to have a say in who dresses and who doesn't.
This is an absolutely stunning stat from last year: Shooting percentage, that is percentage of shots that were goals. Leading BC were in order: Gasseau 15.4, Posma 14.3, Gauthier 12.3 and Joyce 12.1. The two forward transfers Armstrong 16.1(better than any BC player) and Malone 12.1. A line of Posma, Joyce and Armstrong would have 3 of the top 6 in shooting percentage. Sounds like a formidable 4th line.

Wow, there's a blast from the past. You guys will love Jamie Armstrong. He's just an all-around great team player.

BC’s recruiting since August 1st has been disappointing at best and dreadful at worst. BU has wiped the floor with us recently, and it is insanely frustrating. BU has Murtaugh (4.5 star), Fondrk (5 star), Tretheway (4.5 star), and Morin (5 star) so far. BC has Mutryn (4 star) and Cornforth (4 star). It’s looking like Cullen Potter (5 star) is going to commit to BU at some point too. Do Greg Brown and Staff realize they need to actually recruit players? If we lose out on James Hagens then it’ll be a complete disaster.

And Mutryn is a legacy, so you can only give them so much credit for him committing to BC in the first place.

there's a good buck in that racket.
so??? Your boys will win it all this year before they split and bc will go 1 up….
This is exactly what I posted about on July 5th. The only thing that is comforting is a lot of the NTDP U17 team has yet to commit (for some reason). Normally, most of the team is committed by the first week in August.

The recruiting is not unusual after a big year. Kids think that they will be top 6 forwards at BU, but not at BC due to the incoming talent.

So they think they'll be more likely to play early for the team that made the Frozen Four last year over the team that didn't make the tournament? Who also happens to have a big recruiting class coming in that includes next year's likely 1st overall draft pick? As a BC fan and season ticket holder, I think your take is a stretch.

I would also add that the of the big 3 forwards coming to BC this year, the chances of more than one of them still being here in two years when most of this recruiting class would be arriving is pretty slim. So I don't think there is a log-jam of high end talent preventing top players from committing.
