When Krejci returns they should bring Bjork up and play him on the left side and Debrusk on the right. Jake is a shooter but he's not known for making plays. Giving Debrusk some looks on his off wing might open up a few more scoring chances for him.

Seabass, that was an excellent article on Pastrnak, he is off to one helluva start to this season..If Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak can all manage to stay healthy for all season, Marchand AND Pasta will both be around 100 pts and like the article from the Hockey News said, If Marchand didnt miss those 18 games, he would have likely reached 100 pts..But its crucial they ALL stay healthy.. Thanks once again Seabass for a great read and everything you do around here!!

Did you guys catch Pasta going down in a heap on the side wall last night. He was in a lot of pain and at the time I was very nervous it was his hand. I though he might have re-aggravated last years injury but thankfully he looked fine on his next shift.

Cam Neely produced three 50-goal seasons during his Hall of Fame career for the Bruins, and no member of the franchise has accomplished that feat since No. 8 last did it in 1994.
It might be time to rewrite the record books.
David Pastrnak has scored 10 goals in nine games to start this season and could be starting a march toward that milestone.
Fifty goals. It’s an enormous challenge.
Neely would know, so The Athletic asked him a simple question: Do you think Pastrnak will reach that 50-goal plateau this season?
“You see his skill, his hands and his vision, and if he doesn’t get too selfish, then yes,” Neely said.
During the 1993-94 season, Neely scored 50 goals in 44 games, and he registered his first 10 in only eight games.
“If you’re a goal scorer, 50 is always something you’d like to achieve,” Neely said. “You can’t start focusing on the number as much as making sure you’re doing the right things and then, obviously, getting your chances.”
If linemates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron remain healthy and that top line continues to produce — especially on the power play — Pastrnak has a viable path to 50. He was on track last season before suffering a hand injury, which limited him to 38 goals (a career high) in 66 games.
“I could’ve last season if I stayed healthy,” Pastrnak said with a sigh, thinking about his off-ice injury. “My biggest focus (now) is to be healthy and be 100 percent so I can work on my game and be better every day, and you can’t obviously do that if you’re hurt.”
He’s had three consecutive 30-goal seasons, and while 40 is technically the next benchmark, Pastrnak is already looking past it. He wants 50.
“Definitely,” he said. “I want to get on that kind of trend. I really don’t try to think about it, but I want to be a 50-goal scorer. I wouldn’t say it’s stuck in my head like I have to, but I know I can.”
He’s continually working on his scoring prowess and has the ability to score from all different angles. The one-timer has been spot on this season for Pastrnak.
“It seems like he’s hitting it cleaner this year than the end of last year,” coach Bruce Cassidy said of the one-timer.
Cassidy also believes Pastrnak can score 50.
“Yes,” the coach said. “He was close last year, and this year it looks like he’s on the same path.”
Creativity has always been in his hockey DNA, but Pastrnak’s efforts didn’t always prove fruitful; sometimes in his efforts to try something different, he would make bad judgments during games and lose the puck. He’s now found the balance between being creative and when to make the simple play.
“There’s definitely times in a game when you need to make those decisions,” he said. “A lot of it comes with experience. I feel way more comfortable every game making those decisions. I want to become the type of player to make the right play every time. It’s not going to come overnight, and you have to build it into your game.”
Cassidy recalls Pastrnak as a skinny teenager in Providence trying to make his way in pro hockey. Opponents could easily knock him off the puck earlier in his career, but Pastrnak has increased his size and strength and is no longer a pushover.
“He’s strong on the puck, so he can be a little more creative,” Cassidy said. “It’s just physical strength, and he’s able to have the puck longer. Right now he’s confident with his moves … when you’re feeling it, you tend to make a lot of right decisions. When you’re not feeling it, seems like every decision you make isn’t good.”
Maturity and experience are factors, too, and yes, the fact he’s playing with Bergeron and Marchand helps.
Against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, Pastrnak threaded a pass from the half-wall through three defenders and onto the tape of Marchand, who finished with an impressive release that resulted in a goal. Afterward, Pastrnak explained it’s a play the two have been working on in practice and have unsuccessfully attempted a few times during games.
Confidence is a huge factor, especially when a goal scorer is feeling good about his game so early in the season. When a player is feeling as good as Pastrnak right now, the puck has a tendency to find him. He’s in that zone and has found that sniper’s touch.
“It’s very difficult to be an individual in this sport and have success,” Neely said. “Linemates are key. The way you’re used on special teams, particularly if you’re a goal scorer on the power play, is key. The success of the power play is key. All those things are a factor in each individual’s success, notwithstanding the team’s success.”
Last year, only two players, Alex Ovechkin and Leon Draisaitl, scored 50 goals. Only seven active players — Ovechkin (eight times), Ilya Kovalchuk (twice), Steven Stamkos (twice), Sidney Crosby, Corey Perry, Evgeni Malkin and Draisaitl — have reached the mark at all. Pastrnak hopes he’ll add his name to that list this season.

NHLPA is in discussions with Byfuglien’s agent, Ben Hankinson and are currently reviewing the case. If it’s determined Byfuglien hurt his ankle playing hockey the financial side of this matter could get complicated.
