Boston Bruins: 3 young players to watch this season
By Sam Minton
The Boston Bruins have plenty of young talent. Here are three guys you should keep an eye on as we get closer to the regular season.
The Boston Bruins roster is filled with talent. There are a ton of young players who could become great players. We already saw last season that the Bruins could be contenders for years to come.
Last season was supposed to be a rebuilding season for the Bruins. The playoffs were a dream that some fans thought was impossible.
The Bruins shocked the NHL by having a great season. They seemed to be built for a long playoff run.

Sadly the Bruins Stanley Cup dreams were cut short in the second round of the playoffs. Still last season was a season of progress. The Bruins realized they have a ton of young players who could develop into some of the NHL’s best.
So here are three young players to watch this season.
1. Anders Bjork
Anders Bjork showed early on last season that he could be a scoring threat. In 30 games he had 4 goals and 8 assists and showed that he can perform in the NHL. He played on the 1st and 2nd line and gelled well with his teammates.
Sadly Bjork’s season ended early due to injury. So Bjork will look to stay healthy this year.
It will be interesting to see where Bjork slides in. The Bruins shouldn’t split up the first line, and Jake DeBrusk showed he is going to be a star. I think Bjork may start on the Bruins third line.
He would get to work his way back, and if he starts to play extremely well the Bruins could just move him up.
With a full season I think Bjork can put up some nice numbers. Next season he should show that he is a top 6 forward.
