bc they aren't top 6 players, then they shuffle them up with more players that shouldn't be in the top 6.

Yes but you can’t get chemistry with a few games. It’s what they have now. All this shuffling isn’t helping. Even with the first line this is the same. Bergeron and Marchand can’t expect the other winger to just fit in and get it. Takes time.

Marchand Krejci and Pasta did instantly, sorry but you can't put AHL players in the top 6 and expect production. You can try to put all the Bjorks Donato's Heinens and Ceharliks of the world in the top 6, if you don't have the talent, it's not working

Heinen and Donato have had their fair of chances...Bjork Cehlarik and Zach have not.

They need to prove the are legit 3rd liners and belong in the NHL first before given a top 6 role

Heinen Donato Nordstrom have proven this? Debrusk easily ... you can see the difference / the separation from the others.

Debrusk sure but none of the other have shown me the consistency of belonging in the top 6

What about Spooner?
Say what you want... but last season Debrusk Krejci Spooner looked pretty decent for the most part. Even better than Debrusk Krejci Nash
Its too bad that Spooner is not much of a goal scorer or else that line could have been better
At the end of the day a player like Spooner (but better scoring ability) is the right kind of winger to play alongside Krejci vs a glorified garbage man like Simmonds

You and I might be the only two who watched the bruins last year. They were very effective together. If not Spooner trade for someone with a similar skillset / speed and creativity.

Want a happy effective Krejci...
Bruins notebook: David Krejci enjoys skating with young wingers Jake DeBrusk, Ryan Spooner – Boston Herald
“I have good speed on both sides and I use it to my advantage through the neutral zone and try to make something happen,” said Krejci. “I really enjoy playing with Spoons, he has a lot of speed and he’s a very smart player and he makes some plays.
“I really enjoy that, and Jake has been playing good. He is a young guy with a lot of energy and he is flying up and down and winning battles in the corner. “

Strange how Ceharik did have some early success in the way of assists but hasn’t really got that chance again. Although that was a couple years back

The bruin fab 3 NCAA players have the inside track and I don't doubt the p bruin fab 3 are too happy about it.

I don't know about that theory. There are lines that click right away. Krejci DeBrusk and Heinen worked better (immediately) than a lot of the other combos they tried. They didn't score but they generated tons of chances and allowed very little. Krejci with Marchand and Pasta was an instant success even thought Krejci and Pasta have struggled with other wingers (despite being all world talents in their own right).

The thing to keep in mind with Cehlarik is that he's only played 17 NHL games (over two years). Ryan Donato already has twice that. Bjork has three times that.
I try not to make any judgements about prospects in their first 20 NHL games, but Cehlarik actually had a fairly impressive start to his career.
Coming into this season he had 31 goals and 61 points in 84 AHL games, then followed that up with a strong training camp. Given the options we've seen to this point, I would love to see him get another chance with Krejci and Pasta.

99% of NHL centers don’t have wingers that compare to Pastrnak & Marchand. What’s your point?

What? Yes they do
Most 1st lines in the league and at least half the leagues 2nd lines
Heck even some team 3rd line wingers
Iam not saying they are as good as pasta/marchand but at least have half the skill/creativity... that would help utilitize Krej game
And not bumping up a 4th line playerd like Nordstrom, Backes, Wagner.... which is a waste of wingspace on a top 6 fwd spot
Imagine even if Krejci had Kapanen, Leivo, Brown as his wingers (3rd line wingers on Leafs) ... would be much better

Bruin fan since 1975
did you just say most 1st line and half the second line and some 3rd line winers compare to marchand/pastrnak
in what way?
like... they are all male?
like... they all put their pants on one leg at a time?
like... they cant sing a song as well as mick jagger?
I have no idea what you are talking about here... how are half the second liners in the nhl and some 3rd liners comparable to marchand/pastrnak?

Pertaining to the Bruins' forwards, I think Cehlarik's ability to pass the puck rivals Krejci's. However, I can see why the Bruins may be concerned with his pace of play. I think it has less to do with how fast he can skate and more to do with his decision making. We saw it in his short stint with the Bruins. His passing was incredible, but he was prone to turning the puck over with his attempts. In today's NHL, turning the puck over in the neutral or offensive zones could very well lead to a breakaway or odd-man rush by the other team. From reading Divver and others that cover and watch Providence Bruins play, it sounds like he is still having trouble addressing that area of his game. Now, I wouldn't be opposed to the Bruins giving him another shot, but let's see what a line of DeBrusk-Krejci-Pastrnak can do.
I understand that you are trying to make your point, and i am sure you didn’t read correctly your post before sending it.... saying most center of first, second and some third line center are centering wingers of the quality of 88 and 63.
