Was kind of hoping he'd get a full year in the AHL. Who knows, maybe he comes up and forces the team to keep him up. If he's capable of being your #3C then great.

Jack The Stud!
Hope we get to see him and Gaunce during their call ups. I liked what little I saw from Gaunce.

Wow, that's earlier than expected. I worry a bit for his health. He's 6'3 but he can't weigh more than 175lbs. Still, excited to see his progress.
I'm just as excited to see Gaunce. I think Kuraly is better on LW and would LOVE to see what a 4th line of Kuraly - Gaunce - Wagner can do.

I wanted the DeBrusk treatment so badly. He's on such a roll though, they must want to see how he looks up here. Worst case, he goes back to Providence with an NHL taste and what he needs to work on.
He was excellent yesterday afternoon and has been on quite the tear in the AHL. Here's to the start of what hopefully is a great career.

It's been a while since I've hopped on a prospect train (I think fanbases in general tend to overrate their own prospects), but I'm very high on Studnicka. This will be interesting.

Is he 6'3''? I see him listed mostly as 6'1''. Definitely earlier than I wanted but probably not a long term call up unless he completely goes off. Not to get too off topic here, but excited for Gaunce as well. Glad he's fully healthy, still rocking a full face mask, and it'll be good to see what he can bring IF he gets in. From what I have seen in Providence, he has some two-way ability, will go to the corners, and skates pretty well. He doesn't appear to be a bruiser though.

Oh, I was just guessing at his height and weight. He looks very tall in person, taller than Bergeron and Bergy is listed at 6'1. We'll have to see what he looks like next to Coyle (listed at 6'3).
Agree on Gaunce. I like his high motor and would love to see him on that 4th line.

Did you see him this year or last? Reason I ask is when I saw him last year, my immediate reaction was, "Oh Jesus, he's a stick!"
But this year, he looked like he'd managed to put on a little weight.

I saw him this year, in September. He still looked really thin to me. I also saw Bjork the same day and he looked much thicker through the shoulders and chest than the previous years.
Shocked! Probably good for him to get some reps. Not viewing him as a middle six savior right now.
While I worry that it's too soon, I have high hopes for Studnicka and I like an awful lot of what he brings to the table, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with the big Bruins.
I rate him as just about the most important prospect we currently have, so I really hope they get his progression and development right. Good luck Jack!

Studnicka is the guy I think will make the biggest impact of the Providence crew. This guy has some serious tools...

Yeah, he's still a beanpole, but you should have seen him last year. I was torn between the skinny thing and, "Oh my god, he's just boy!"
Bjork actually got yoked out prior to last year's camp. His neck was huge. I'm hoping someone had a talk with him about proper training, because those guys who go from small to Lou Ferrigno overnight tend to be susceptible to soft tissue injuries like, ah, shoulders and such.
AWESOME NEWS, lets give the kid a chance and play him 14-16 mins a game and see what he has.
I hope he plays better than JFK did. I was really disappointed when he came up.

Saw him vs the Devils live in the first preseason game and he was all over the ice and pretty physical as well...Got into it with Subban a bunch and didn't give an inch.
Stud is only 20 yrs old, give him another 2-3 years for him to get bigger/ fill out.
He must be 180-185 pounds now , or he would be getting knocked off the puck very easily.
I remember when Cam Neely came into the NHL at 18 yrs he was around 185 lbs soaking wet and got to around 218 pounds when he matured.
DK is listed at 188 lbs BTW and handles himself okay.
Excited to see both of these guys on the big club. Ideally would have liked to see Stud get a full year in the AHL but you gotta throw him a bone after scoring a goal in each of his last 5 games and 7 of his last 8.
Guance looked ready in camp to me. Glad he's getting a look.

Bergeron for Hart
I don’t know how tall he is exactly, but I’m 5’10” and he’s taller than me when he’s barefoot around the locker room and I have regular oxfords on. I’d say 6’1” - 6’2” is fair.
Jack is definitely a bit sleight-of-frame still, but he’s added some size going into this year, even if it was just a little bit.
