I hope pairings are

Z-Fabbro
Christiansen-Severson
Provorov-Jiricek

But I firmly expect Christiansen and Jiricek to be together and play less than 10 minutes
It would be logical, since in the case of Boston we should have three quality pairs.

Finally, Pyyhtiä isn't playing. Mikael is trying very hard, but his max is the AHL, if I'm only writing about North American leagues. Btw, I'm not sure he would be one of the above average players even in the KHL.

He reminds me of Sami Pahlsson; billed as a forward who is defensively responsible and checks off a lot of boxes as “ok” but isn’t super skilled in any one area while doing so, so doesn’t drive offense or produce points. Kid seems nice and all but if we had sufficient talent I wouldn’t expect to see him on a fleshed out roster

He's not a classic defensive forward, doesn't have great play without the puck. JvR isn't much either, that line needs an aggressive player who can defend well, play without the puck, win battles. Sillinger would be ideal in my opinion. Unless the coaches want to move Voronkov out of the top 6, of course.

Man, poor Chinny, 11 points in 17 games and keeps getting demoted
I think not. He has very good chemistry with Sillinger and Danforth is playing great. Conversely, Adam can be helped by the presence of veterans, especially if Labanc is in great shape.
