*The job secured in Anaheim, Cronin spent four days driving back to Boston from Colorado, stopping along the way for one-on-one interviews with nearly half the roster that will be under his watch in September.*
*He first met with Troy outside Denver, followed by Cam Fowler and Max Jones in the Detroit area, Brock McGinn in Guelph, Ontario, a foursome around Toronto that included Jamie Drysdale, Ryan Strome, Sam Carrick and McTavish, and finally ex-Bruin Frank Vatrano and Zegras as he drew closer to his summer digs here on Comm. Ave.*
Dude hit the ground running, that’s great. He put in extra effort on something that could’ve been a phone call or something he waited until training camp for.

*“Pat … I mean, I’d rob a bank with Pat, he holds everything close to his chest,” kidded Cronin, recalling his anxiety while waiting to hear back from his would-be boss. “I’m thinking, ‘Geez, that went really well,’ … and he said the same … but it took a while. Obviously, I feel very fortunate he chose me.”*
Stuff like this makes me feel optimistic about the future. It seems like they’ll relatively easily trust each other which in my opinion is a huge help in a job like that.
