Player Discussion Austin Czarnik

[TheBigBadB]

I put Agustino, Czarnik, Vatrano and possibly Spooner in the same group. Great AHL numbers but game many never translate to the NHL consistently enough to remain in the league. Hope I am wrong, but just feel they are those types.

That's why TC is going to be so exciting this year. Competition for what could be four or five open forward slots should be intense.

I believe Bjork has a lock on one of those. Agostino was awarded a one way contract. No guarantees, but he should start off with an edge on the others.

I'm pulling for Austin to snag a spot.

Nice recap of Czarnik's pro career by Zachary Leach in www.prohockeyrumors.com. Story was prompted by Austin's signing of his two way contract.

I still think he has the potential to be more than just an AHL guy.

I think he could slot in on a 4th line for a team, but I'm not seeing much more potential than that.

Yeah, 3rd or 4th line I'm thinking.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Yeah, 3rd or 4th line I'm thinking.

I assume we'll potentially see this tonight, if Acciari can't go? Also assuming he's up for Acciari, and not for Marchand (i guess you can ERC for suspensions). If Acciari goes, could always sub Czarnik in for Vatrano.

Heinen -- Bergeron -- Pastrnak
DeBrusk -- Krejci -- Spooner
Vatrano -- Nash -- Backes
Schaller -- Kuraly -- Czarnik

He should be given another opportunity...continues to impress P bruins and wasn't bad when up. Perhaps he should be called up before Cehlarik next opportuntiy. Love Cehlarik however Csar is more deserving at this stage.

I like this kids talent.Not sure he is 4th line material though.More of a scoring type player to me not a grinder.

 

[LouJersey]

Would much rather see Blidh in a game like this.

 

[Tampbear]

I'm really happy he is called up, the kid has been playing great hockey down there and absolutely earned it. I've felt for the kid playing great all year and not being given a chance at any point. Don't know if he will do anything with his opportunity but I'm glad he is getting it.

I love this kids right-handedness.

Love Czarnik. Deserves this shot. Played well in his time here.

Sp0oner? Huh? Spooner can be inconsistent, and certainly has frustrated people, but he has shown repeatedly during his NHL career when you put him on the ice with talent around him he produces points. Spooner will end up playing 10+ nhl seasons.

I do think Czarnik is an offensive player who really needs to get out there on a line with talented linemates and PP time etc. And he may not be quite good enough to fill that role at the NHL level.

I agree

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Played well tonight and pretty sure grabbed an assist on the Krug PP goal.

Looked solid

Maybe Acciari is finally ready to go?

one of the issues with czarnik is he's a few games (4?) away from needing waivers.

Ah good to know. Thanks for that insight. So even if Acciari isn't ready, maybe they recall Cehlarik, or give someone else a look? It's only one more game, anyway.

Yep....the logjam is going to burst sooner or later.
Never thought Id type this but too many guys capable of playing.

Yup. He's played 56 NHL games. If he is on the active roster for his 61st game (doesn't even have to play) he will need to clear waivers

indeed. a good problem is still a problem.
