Would you guys deal Backes for McDavid? I'd struggle with it at first but I think I'd eventually be okay.
If they they throw in a 1st with him, sure!

Really like Bjork but for a guy who isn't suited for the bottom 6 he's going to have to produce more than nice flashes of talent at some point.
Everyone realizes that Bjork has been playing LW all preseason right? And so has Heinen. So unless one of them is RW on Saturday then there's no chance Bjork is making the opening night roster.
Bjork has played RW almost his entire college and NHL career and views himself as a RW. It's not LW or bust for him to make the team. Come on.
Pavel Shen has definitely been a bit of an unsung hero this preseason. Happy he's gonna spend a few seasons in Providence, not going to be star, but seems like classic Bruins leadership player and fits the mold of a responsible 4c. Think he can become a big role player down the line.Takeaways
1. Oscar Steen & Pavel Shen
Very interested in what they do in Providence
Impressed with the skating of both
2. Trent Frederic
Competes hard takes zero ****
Lot to like - will be a fan favorite at some point
3. Lauzon
If he stays healthy he’s an NHL player
4. Anders Bjork
Stick him on third line for now and leave him there
Heinen played RW when Bjork-Coyle-Heinen was a line a few games ago and was a rw with johansson-coyle. Heinen can play any forward position, I really don't think this is concern.Everyone realizes that Bjork has been playing LW all preseason right? And so has Heinen.

I think he will. He's made the team 2 years in a row but had some awful injuries. I understand why they might have wanted him to get time in Providence to get up to speed, but I think his performances in preseason has shown he's ready. If those 3 remain a combo through the season, Bruins are in very good shape.Great. I hope I'm wrong because I'd love for Bjork to make a difference this year. Guy deserves a break.

Unrelated thought, wonder if Steen is going to get his chances as a C this year in Providence. He was great in that role in Farjestad.
Just in from the game.Bjork is showing the naysayers what an impact he can have on this team. True, his injuries have limited his exposure and thus, his support, but he can be a positive force in the top nine. His talent is obvious.
