B's are Buzzin'

Horton is listed as a center, but said he is more comfortable at right wing, which is where the Bruins plan on playing him. Bruins GM Steven Valente called him a "shooter who plays a power game."

He has 142 goals in 492 games, but has not lived up to the expectations that came when he was selected third in 2003. But he's only 25-years-old and has scored at least 20 goals in each of the past five seasons, topping out at 31 in 2006-07.

If Horton blossoms into the 40-goal scorer that many think he will become when placed to the right of Johnathan Toews he will actually double his goals from last season. Whether or not such a feat is actually attainable remains to be seen, but playing on a team with what he called “stability”. Though 40 goals will be a stretch, Horton believes he can get back to 30-plus goals this season.

"That's my goal and I think it's definitely reachable," Horton said. "I put a lot of pressure on myself to try to do good. I think it's going to be a good time and I'm very excited."

The recent aquisiton of Nathan Horton and Dustin Byfuglien have not only created a buzz within Boston but also create a dynamic that has been missing. Horton is listed as 6'2 , 229 lbs. while Byfuglien is listed as 6'3" and a generous 246 lbs. GM Valente has re-tooled the Bruins to be a physical team up front. "We want other teams to know when they come to Boston its not going to be an easy night".
