Bjork is on fourth line if he starts. Pasta is on the first line no matter what. Also I’m guessing studnicka will be replace with JFK. Just my thoughts.

Studnicka is not playing this year unless he has an amazing camp

Bjork is not on the fourth line if he starts he has only played top-6 in the nhl and thats where he will stay he cannot play as a grinder.

Bjork starter last season with marchy and Bergy as a rookie. He might start in the minors depending on how his camp goes to get readjusted. But I’m with you on jfk, him or Frederic’s spot to take

Marchy-Bergy-Pasta
Debrusk-Krejci-Heinen
Donato-JFK-Backes
Kuraly-Wagner-Acciari

Nordstrom-Szwarz healthy scratch

Bjork in minors. Needs some time in AHL to shake off rust and get accustomed to physical play of pros. He wilted when teams got physical with him. Never was the same after the concussion. Needs to get his feet back under him.

Sadly i think they go with Kuraly as C3 which will be a big mistake.

No ones really talking about Studnicka but they should. Frederic and JFK can born in the AHL. Studnicka would have to go back to Juniors four 1 more year. If Studnicka is on par with Frederic and JFK at camp I won't be shocked if Studnicka gets the nod.

Bjork will start in the AHL, and then will most likely play second line alongside Krejci and DeBrusk. JFK will probably win that 3C position over Studnicka, but I would't be surprised if Studnicka makes it really close.
