Team: 2017-18 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 16, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

5 Important things need to happen for this mock to become accurate.

#1 Bjork needs to keep up his momentum and land an NHL spot. He played mostly RW in college and in this scenario, we keep him on the right side.

#2 Heinen has to have a good camp. He has also played a lot of RW, so we keep him there as well.

#3 DeBrusk shines in camp and makes the roster as a LW.

#4 JFK Has a sluggish camp. He reminds me a bit of Khoklachev and really didn't look much better in College year 2 than he did year one IMO. He almost appeared as 3rd fiddle of the Keller, JFK, Greenway line at BU, or atleast in a tie with Greenway for 2nd best, but Big guys have it harder in College than regular sized players.

#5 The Bruins fail to re-sign Stafford and walk away from the Arbitration award to Spooner.


The most likely way for this to get changed is by DeBrusk having the poor camp and JFK being good enough for the NHL. In that case Bjork would move to 2nd LW, Heinen would move to 1st RW and Backes would move to 3rd RW leaving a hole for JFK as the 3rd C.

I guess we'll see what really happens when the time comes.
