Player Discussion Anders Bjork II

[aguineapig]

I would love for Bruce to put Kuraly with Bjork and Studnicka for a shift or two with the command, Gentleman full speed ahead!

 

[Gee Wally]

Very good deal.

 

[danpantz]

The depth in the Bruins lineup is just insane.

What's the cap situation: Capfriendly show $16m for Debrusk, Chara and Gryz. That seems pretty easy.

They can make it work if they want. We are in a very good situation cap wise.

Is that all they have left to re sign other than Krug? Should be able to fit him in as well

Nordstrom and K. Miller are UFA at the end of the season as well. Nordy they might want back, he's a useful player, but his cap hit should not be much. Miller I doubt gets an offer.

 

[Skelen]

I think this is going to be a great deal for Boston if he can stay healthy. His numbers are a bit lower than I think we expected for him this far in his career but with everything he's battled through I'm excited to see that next gear. I think he had a solid year overall and he's a well liked guy in the locker room from my understanding. Low risk high reward

 

[Estlin]

Awesome deal for one of the best forwards on the team. Let's hope that Cassidy gives Bjork a long leash and places him in a position to succeed.

I think they signed Lindholm for two years with the idea of replacing Nordstrom after this year

 

[Kalus]

Wow, another win for Bruins management. I am surprised Bjork agreed to the third year.

He has the tools of a 2nd liner. Let's see if he can put it all together.

 

[UConn126]

I've never been super hyped on Bjork, but this is a great contract for a bottom 6 guy who can move up to the top 6 in a bind. Hopefully he can keep developing and turn into a consistent 40 point guy.

 

[JCRO]

Very high on the kid.

And this deal tells me the Bs aren’t ready to give up on him at all. Still young and has shown flashes. Just needs to stay healthy.

Im happy.

 

[Kalus]

Looks real good against the Wagner deal, too.

 

[JRull86]

Great deal for the team, especially if he stays healthy and starts to hit his potential.

 

[22Brad Park]

Very good deal.

Sweeney takes pressure off kid now.Good bet its him.dressing in my mind.But DeBrusk is the one who should be the target.He is 23 and a proven scorer in this league and has playoff experience galore now.Again sign the priority players first.Hey 3 yrs 1.6 or whatever it was is great though.

They should have plenty of space to sign all the RFAs and Chara, plus Krug if they want to. If they don't sign Krug, then they'd probably have close to $7M to spend on someone else. The one question is if Chara re-signs for the same deal, then they'd have $2.75M in easy-to-reach performance bonuses between him and Halak, and they'd have to decide how comfortable they are carrying that over into 2021-22. I also wouldn't be shocked if Chara took an even more team-friendly deal, though that assumes that Chara hasn't changed his mind since March and decides to retire.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Looks real good against the Wagner deal, too.

Or Aciari's, even if he did turn into 4th line Mike Bossy.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Even seeing that "reporter's" name on here is annoying after the Rask/Marchand bit but I'll ignore it seeing that great news!

Another great contract extension. The Bruins really need him to take that next step with production but he looked far stronger this season.

 

[Kalus]

Staying healthy will be the crux of it. The injuries his first two years really held back his development.

Deleted: didn't see the news item referenced here until now. No reason to bring it here.

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Excellent deal. I think the biggest overspend in the NHL is on 2nd/3rd line wingers. If Bjork approaches his full potential this will be a steal for the B's.

 

[Over the volcano]

Kid really didn’t have much of a track record to ask for more - glad they kept him in the fold but he’s still yet to become what they’ve been counting on for a couple years now.

 

[bruinmann77]

Great deal by DS looking forward to seeing what he gets done with TK

 

[Aussie Bruin]

He's had some bad luck. I think DeBrusk's going to wind up a better player when they're both in their prime than Bjork, but the biggest difference right now between the two as they both look to sign their first 'big boy' contracts is that Jake's had a pretty good run health-wise, apart from concussion concerns, while Anders has missed a lot of potential game time through injuries. Means he's playing catch up and still has more to prove. As it is, this sounds like a good deal for both him and the team so hopefully it comes to fruition.

 

[slim399]

Love it, I was predicting 2 years at 1.5mill cap.

hoping for Debrusk 3 years, 3.33mill cap and Gryz 5 years 2.85mill cap next

 

[bruinmann77]

I would really like to see what DS sign next and will it be Jake ,Matt or Tory?
