Why shouldn't Bjork be that 2nd line winger?i think bjork will be part of a trade for that 2nd line winger.
kuhlman is the perfect 3rd line winger for coyle and heinen.

I think he'd fit great on that third line. Then put Steen next to Krejci when he's ready.
obviously clearing out backstock before he gets traded.Pro Shop just loaded up with Bjork shirts
they weren’t there before
Good sales strategy: put up for sale an item for someone who won’t be here anymore. Sure to sell.obviously clearing out backstock before he gets traded.
Why would you break up the one line that’s consistently putting up points? Shouldn’t they try to add to those that are not producing?If Krejci is healthy these are the lines I'd like to see when Bjork gets called up
Jake Berg pastr
March dk Bjork
Heinen Coyle Kuhlman
And the rest
Now not sure if Cassidy would put Bjork on second line immediately.

Then give him Bjork, Don’t break up the 63-37-88 combo that has worked so well. All it takes is a little fortitude to send down a non-producing forward.These lines have produced and continue to produce . Krejci needs some scoring . If we are going to pair him up with Jake and Bjork that's not fair..if by some chance they stop producing which I strongly doubt .put them back together but DK deserves at least one bona fide scorer . He deserves it
they should call him up
2nd or 3rd line not producing a lick
It’s time those wingers aren’t doing much. Him in the mix instead of Backes will help.
No reason to pull the plug on anyone else this early I like Kuhlmans speed and Ritchies size.
If DK is out I want Kuraly promoted and Gaunce 4C.
Nice article on Bjork.
What a Great Attitude!

“Getting to those areas” has been something of an adjustment for Bjork, a left-handed shot who spent most of his time on the right-wing before moving to the left side for this season. The six-foot winger is now lined up on his strong side, an opportunity he says has allowed him to make quicker plays. He also identified cutting in toward the middle of the ice as a problem he wanted to address. As a left-handed shot on the right wing, there’s a heavy temptation to cut toward open space in the middle of the ice – a move that can net you a lot of goals in EA Sports’ NHL 20 but can get you into some trouble in real life.
“I think that got me into trouble a bit when I was up with Boston the last couple of years,” he said, per the Boston Herald. “I think I had a tendency to do that from college. I think I want to drive the puck down and to the net more and being on the my forehand on the left helps with that.”
“Everyone wants to play in the NHL,” said Bjork at Providence’s Dunkin’ Donuts Center last week. “But there are definitely things I can work on. I had good conversations with [Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy] and management as well. I appreciate their thoughts and the advice they gave me, what I need to work on. I agree with it. It’s good we’re on the same page there. Obviously, players can look at it as a negative, getting sent down and not playing exactly where you want to be. But personally I’m excited about this opportunity to work on things and maybe play a bit more and maybe develop my game to get it to where I want it to be.”
“He’s come down and been excellent,” said Providence Bruins coach Jay Leach, per the Boston Herald. “He’s on the ice after practice, he’s all in. He’s terrific. He played a bunch both nights. He’s owning the puck, he wants to make a difference, he wants to make plays. All I’ve seen is a desire to get back there, and he’s going to let his play speak for that.”
Great to read, has taken his time in Providence not to sulk but to put his head down and bust his arse at getting stronger in the areas the B`s have asked him to
He was/is already good enough for Boston.
I think offensively there was little I had issues with but I also felt he needed some seasoning in other areas. I never felt his work ethic or willingness to learn was any concern, kid always looks like he`s hustling but it`s more about positioning and identifying where he needs to be without the puck and being there before or when the puck does.
He`ll never be a bruiser but in the 2 games I caught him play in preseason, he looked very assertive, actually seemed to be skating with his head up too which is a bonus. My guess is we`ll see him long before the American Thanksgiving especially if this team continues to get production only from one line
Im sure he'll be up by then with someone, but its interesting, as he's playing Left-Wing right now, and somethings gotta give. The Bruins need a RW with skill, who can put the puck in the net. Maybe Sweeney is working the phone lines and we'll see one of DeBrusk Bjork or Heinen moved in a deal, because of right now I feel the Bruins have 4 LW who can play and play well in a top six role,but not so much on the right-side.
Sure they can play Bjork on the RW, but why have him play the left side down in providence and Heinen could always switch over once Bjork is called up. I feel that's the more likely scenario, but I really like the chemistry between Heinen and Coyle and with Kuhlman on the Rw it would make one really good third line.
