Opening Night?

Created by: boston781
Team: 2017-18 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 27, 2017
Published: Jul. 28, 2017
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
What I feel the opening night roster will look like.

Two big standouts I'd say are Bjork and DeBrusk. I'm basing it off the small sample size of what I saw these guys do last season in-person (Watched DeBrusk play 5 games, 3 for Bjork). I think they both have what it takes to crack the opening night lineup.

It feels kind of weird, there are a ton of young guys that I think can make the roster for the Bruins and it hurts to leave some of them off of the roster. Love the feeling of my team having a good minor league system.

Heinen is viewed as a top 6 forward, they wouldn't play him on the 4th line. the rest makes sense.

If Heinen could add some scoring to the 4th line and give them a two-way game I could see him starting there. I think one of our biggest holes has been that 4th line scoring and even the bottom 6 scoring in general. I wouldn't play Heinen at center, but I think the other option is Krejci's LW.

When Sweeney signed Kenny Agostino he said it was time to see what he could at the NHL level, doubt he's playing in providence this up coming season. unless Debrusk really excels in camp he could be in prov to start. there's almost too big of a back log at LW and C now. would like to get Debrusk in there, and Henein/JFK at C sooner than later.

does that mean Vatrano and Spooner could be on the outs ?

I think we all know that Spooner likely won't last more than 1 year. That's barring a great season. He's not a bad player but he's a specialist and he is stuck behind Bergy and Krejci so tough getting high quality wingers when you are bottom 6 C

Vatrano will have to impress this year. Bruins are loaded in prospects. Agostino is NOT one of them. I never heard Sweeney say that about him. But he did say there will be some openings this year and all the candidates will have to come to camp in shape and determined to be able to win those spots!!! Agostino/DeBrusk/Heinen/JFK included with others!!!!

Pretty good mock here!

There are a few things I would change but I think everyone knows what those changes are....
