00:00Good question from the twitch chat

00:02When do you expect Patra back up? I know it's very surprising. I know I but but what when do you expect Patra back up?

00:08He's been on a tear in Providence, you know, the Bruins need all the help they can get

00:12At least on balance this year in the scoring department. Would you expect him back soon? I

00:17Don't I don't expect them soon barring an injury or for another reason, but I take it back. It's terrible

00:25Yeah, no, no. No, it is a good question. No, no, it is a good question

00:29I think

00:30He's still just 20 years old and he's he's hoping to finish his entire first pro season ever

00:38Last year, of course, it got cut short with the shoulder injury right around this time last year

00:44This is a development move

00:45They they don't want him to not score and the fact I think that the best part about this is that

00:52We are talking about him a lot of you you can get sent to the minors and never come back

00:56I know a lot of guys that that

00:58Started out great like he does a young kid go to the minor and never really figure out how to to be a pro

01:04So the fact that he's gone down there the fact that he's on a tear is a good thing if he continues on a tear

01:10At some point he forces them to call him up

01:12But but I think they're more than happy to let him develop and let him feel great about his game

01:17and and if it's in another couple of months he gets called up or even at the start of next year and he scores 40

01:23In the minors the rest of the way, he'll be more ready to be that guy at this level in the NHL
