Chistov to make Bruins debut Wednesday

This one's going to be interesting.

Word out of Anaheim is that Chistov's got a lot off offensive potential (5th overall selection in 2001 draft) but his defensive shortcomings made him fall out of favor with the Ducks.

Hah! Defensive shortcomings?! No one in Boston has *that* problem!

So the question is, will Chistov provide enough offensive spark to overcome his liabilities on the other side of the ice? Or will his presence on the ice just create an even bigger sieve?

And on a side note which only has significance to me (but I'll bore you with anyway), ironically, in NHL '06 (played last year on the Playstation) I had traded for both Zdeno Chara and Chistov. Now both of these players are on the Bruins this year. Scary. Now if the Bruins trade for Matt Stajan, Antti Miettinen, Scott Hartnell, or John-Michael Liles, I'd be very concerned.
