08:30 AM ET 09.24 | The moving around of talent, from the NHL to the AHL, is fully underway. [Among] those assigned to Providence: Boston newbie Chris Bourque, age 26 and recently a dad, who was acquired from Washington in May in a swap for onetime first-round pick Zach Hamill. Bourque, son of Boston icon Ray Bourque, turned pro after his one season (2004-05) at Boston University and has had limited success (33 games/4 points) at the NHL level. ... "Smart player. Good shot. Gritty. A nose for the net," said [Peter Chiarelli], ticking off the young Bourque's assets. "So he's certainly compatible with the way we like our team to play. He's in the mix, no question. And, hey, if he gets his game going in Providence, that could give him a leg up."

The only question I have is: How much of Ray Bourque's gene pool did Junior inherit? A DNA test might be in order.

All it says is that he knows how to get there. That doesn't mean that he knows what to do once he gets there, does it?

He is a good guy, gritty and hard-nosed. He's too small IMO to be a star in the NHL. I've seen him a lot, and while I like him I think he's a capable fill-in...............not a whole lot more. As I said, I like him and his style of play so I hope he proves me wrong.

I'm not sure the Genome Project has found which genes code for athleticism.
