How did he look in the 2 games? Any chance he takes a perment spot?

He looked great. He always looks great when he's up here. There are no current spots this year. Next year there's an opportunity. I like him as a player.

Him and Lauko have been revelations, will be incredibly important to have them playing big roles in the bottom 6 on their cheap deals

Good job by Steeners (last two games)
Built like a small fire hydrant. Staples puck very well against the boards.

Do you guys think he should have a permant spot with the Bruins?

Yes.

I don't know if the cap will allow it, but I'd send Brown down. The 4th line should be some (healthy) combination of Lucic, Lauko, Beecher and Steen.

I'd use Heinen as a middle6 spare. He can slot in on either side of C on the 2nd or 3rd lines.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Yes

Why? Whats stopping him from taking a perment spot with the Bruins? He always gets send back to AHL.

Not much room when everyone is healthy.

However (and I've said this before) guys like Steen and Lauko can play on my team any day. They wreak havoc with their speed and north-to-south tenacity.

Love him.

He waited many years now. Better he gets traded.

Competition. The Bruins really believe in internal competition for spots. I think they expected him to take a spot when they signed him to a one-way contract, but he was beat out by Lauko and he continues to have to battle against Lauko, Brown and Heinen (although I see him as more of a mddile6 spare).

Hopefully he keeps playing well and shows the league he's an NHL player. If the B's can't afford to keep him he can always get claimed.

Still doing good?

I was at game and was watching him - fast and gets after it

I like him hopefully pops one in - he’s not on either special teams that’s a problem

steen flying into the islanders goal the other night was a season highlight.
every guy on the team should be driving the net like that.

Cleared waivers. Sent down. Only guy in the league with 30+ games and only 1 point. Yikes. Might be it for ol' Oskar.
