The Bruins allocated most of their fiscal flexibility this offseason to adding a top-line center in Elias Lindholm, an imposing blueliner in Nikita Zadorov, and a few fourth-line bruisers.
The best-case scenario for Boston is that 21-year-old Fabian Lysell steps into that key spot in the lineup, benefiting from newly-formed on-ice practices.
While the Bruins could opt to promote an established NHLer like Morgan Geekie or Trent Frederic, keeping them lower in the lineup could exploit matchups better.
Boston was unable to add a top-six winger to replace Jake DeBrusk this summer, spotlighting the challenges ahead for roster composition.
