For those who attend or watch the Providence Bruins, you are all in for quite the treat. Bjork’s vision, hockey-IQ, hands & ability to finish are going to make him an instantly-productive player in the AHL.
There are players who aren’t nearly as skilled as him who score and produce at an impressive-clip. In my opinion, Bjork is on a whole different level when it comes to talent, compete-level & readiness— he’s a dangerous weapon for Providence.
Not sure if he will assume his role on the RW, or move over to the LW, especially with Cehlarik back in the picture. The line of Agostino-JFK-Cehlarik was lights-out to start the season, so Jay Leach might be inclined to put them together again.
However, I still maintain the standard of Bjork being NHL-ready and playing at a much-higher level than the AHL. There are just simply too many young-players who are producing and playing well for Bjork to take a spot from.
This move is a much better alternative than him sitting in the press-box and not playing.
