Isn't he an RFA this offseason anyways?
pretty sure he's headed for group 6 UFA status this summer
Isn't he an RFA this offseason anyways?
Why would he be given a chance at next year's camp when he wasn't given a chance at this year's camp?
Why would he sign to stay with the Bruins when he didn't get a chance to play despite showing he was capable?
Cap Friendly had him as RFA, but Group 6 makes more sense.pretty sure he's headed for group 6 UFA status this summer

Thanks.
He’s going to get caught up in the numbers game. I like him. Hope he sticks with some team.I posted a tweet about Czarnik and Group VI Free agency in, I believe, the Providence Bruins thread. He is going to be a UFA because he didn't meet the requirements to stay eligible as an RFA.

Clearly they don’t want to lose him on waivers and they want him to play for Providence in their playoffs
Czarnik needs to be up with the NHL Bruins ASAP. Acciari was horrible at center. Wingles was not much better at center a few weeks ago.
I understand that if they recall him, he will not be able to play for the AHL Bruins again due to waivers but I would think your ultimate goal is NHL Cup, not AHL Cup.
At worst, when people start to get healthy you can give give some guys days off by moving Czarnik up and down the lineup at C or RW.
I think he definitely will get a chance with someone.
What about JFK ? Isn't he looked upon as greater potential than Czarnik ?He's the only center candidate among Donato, Bjork, Cehlarik. could see him replacing Nash until Studnicka or Frederic seize the job, if they ever do.
I think he may have a shot at cracking the roster, but if I were him I'd probably be looking elsewhere.
Marchand Bergy Pasta
Debrusk Krejci XXX
Heinen XXX Backes
Schaller Kuraly Acciari
Assuming Schaller/Kuraly get re signed, and both Nashes price out of Boston...Donato, Bjork, Chelarik all will be fighting for open spots. This also isn't including the potential emergence of Senyshyn, JFK, and Frederic.
Good player but he probably has a better chance elsewhere.
I would be very surprised if Donato barring injury doesn’t play 70 + NHL games next year.
Bjork will probably have to start in the AHL (just to get game ready again) and hopefully he forces them to call him up after 25-30 games.
JFK will be the interesting one that could go either way.
Im betting the Bruins sign an older Center ala Dominic Moore to push for competition and cover their ass and that’s about it this off season.
What a nice problem to have!
Fitz has been really started to round out his game from everything I’ve read.
Senyshyn- They have the luxury of burying him again. Couldn’t be a better scenario for his development.
Frederic - full year of professional hockey and nothing but a taste of a game or two is probably ideal.
Cehlarik - if he stays healthy is the best option to bounce back and fourth. Will either seize an opportunity or be dealt at next years deadline.
Studnicka - has to go back to JR?
Zboril - probably start the year in providence but be first guy given a chance?
Lauzon - Huge year and off season for him. If he avoids injury could push Zboril for first man up.
Vaakainen - Probably a lot closer than many think/expect after playing against men. I haven’t seen or read the upside that some see but a left handed minute eater like Carlo for years to come seems realistic.
Did I miss anyone of note?
Gabrielle - love the way he plays but was pretty disappointed with his first pro year. Hope something clicks and he can come in and make some impact in providence.
An AHL salary heavy 2-way deal would probably keep him.
i was wondering about this. if he wants money, you probably have to give him a 1-way at NHL minimum (which is fine - they
gave agostino 800k to basically play in providence this year). but is he more interested in a better opportunity to play?
don't really see where he fits unless he's a 13/14 forward.

They'll have 15 contract spots for 17 UFA/RFA's. Holden, Postma, Gionta are as good as done. They'll try and bring both Nash's back.
Interesting for me is the backup role. I would guess they try and bring Khudobin back. You want to leave room for free agency and you never really want to operate at the 50 contract limit. Most teams like to be around the 47 contract range.
Will be an interesting numbers game in Boston/Providence in the offseason.
