Bruins Depth Chart - July 2017

Bjork and Kuraly would both be higher on my list. Kuraly is a good energy guy to play with Acciari and Nash. Bjork tore it up at the college level and I expect him to start the season with Krecji and Backes. I hope they resign Stafford if they have the cap. I love his play and JFK and Heinen could both use some time in Providence.

DeBrusk and Kuraly are kind of equal but both behind Vatrano and Beleskey right now. Bjork needs time in Providence. Prove your talent at the pro level - College level, especially in the States means sweet FA, it is below the Junior leagues in Canada for skill level - hate to break it to you. Bjork is good, will play eventually, let him show off in Providence first! More playing time too!

Stafford says he wants to go to Minny, once a player says that? Let him go, he's done and feels he can do better elsewhere, Our own talented prospects are too hungry not to let them play now!!

JFK needs time in the A yes, but Heinen proved himself last year. Sarted slow, listened to coaching, got better as year went on, was one of tp scorers on the team at the end of the year and absolutely dominated in the playoffs!!!! That's the guy we need in our lineup!!!! A kid who isn't afraid to step it up in critical games and at playoff time!!!!

..

Is this depth chart based on talent, potential or line combo's?

Mostly a combination of talent and potential and actual experience - not so much line combinations. Good players can play all over the ice and can be coached. so while JFK has potential, ne has no real pro experience so that drops him down a bit. You need to prove you can play in Providence first, unless it is VERY clear at training camp that they can play pro.

Just my opinions, everyone's will be a little different.
