Again, not an NHL level mentality if 3 games ruin him. 

lol it'll shatter anyone's mentality because of hype and expectation by the fans.. he wasn't a great prospect to begin with he's borderline and a tiny goalie.. but the fans here were oozing and awwing over him when drafted saying it was a steal.. between getting shelled in the NHL level and missing almost a year of development due to covid shutdown and not doing great in the AHL.. this guy have had terrible stats ever since drafted and haven't improved since being drafted

Might be the Management has a crystal ball knowing JT hurt to-night.

Team needs some help on on backend no doubt   Not knowing anything about studnika other than hockeyDB etc. Some utube. Boston’s deep at center , there’s an oppurtunity  an opening that for his 37 eastern games that he has under his belt might serve him well? if he gets to play in the pitts.  Game who knows. There seems to be some salty Bruin fans.    With Miller moving to wing and lazar out for who knows. There was a need.   IMO there’s dialogue happening  wouldn’t be to surprised if something bigger goes down.

Jack Studnika is a solid prospect who skates really fast and shoots right with a bit of size. Im really glad he is now in our system

We will do this, send away our first to a struggling team and just gd fold sending away our unprotected first this year to someone like Anaheim or Arizona.

 

with the statements about this trade, the statements made recently and the now obvious vision of retooling and going for it; I've little faith in this management group at all

you have little faith

your doing better than me

Mikey wanted out,  Lazar is on IR,  they filled a void.  Chill peeps.

only if Studnicka is better than Dries

[DeltaSwede]

I don't think Myrenberg is an NHL player. Mikey needed to chance somewhere else. 

 

Take on a project with some promise, nothing to really be up in arms about here

[J-23]

Cool trade.

 

Weird comment from Allvin.

Now announce Carlo to Vancouver

As much as we don’t have enough RHD, we were really lacking centers in the system as well. With a distinct possibility of one of Horvat or Miller getting traded this year, adding someone with the potential to step in as a 3C was crucial.

 

Just because he hasn’t made the jump in Boston doesn’t mean there isn’t anything there. He’s still young, and has shown very well in the AHL. Our scouts made a similar call on Nils Aman, who Colorado didn’t even bother signing, and he’s been a great fit.

Time will tell but I do hope something else is going to happen as us getting a decent rhd and not one other teams gave up on but a solid one.

Interesting to read some of the comments from the Boston side. While I can’t say Bruins fans have been quite as hysterical about this relatively minor trade as Canucks fans, their initial reaction was almost as negative as ours. They didn’t like the trade, felt like the return was pretty weak, their GM messed up, and they lost a promising young player for basically nothing. They took some comfort in getting any return for a player they were expecting to eventually lose to waivers (most felt Studnicka would never clear and would have lots of NHL teams interested in picking him up). It wasn’t really until Canucks fans started pumping Myrenberg’s tires on social media that most Bruins fans felt they got anything close to decent value in return for Studnicka. And still, they seem mostly happy just to not lose him for nothing, with a silver lining of getting a lottery ticket in Myrenberg, with a slight chance of becoming an NHL player for them.

 

Not saying that every Bruins fan loved Studnicka and was crying bitter tears over his trade, but most seemed to like him a fair amount as a prospect/young player. Majority opinion on Bruins message boards and social media seems to be that he’s a decent bet as a future NHL 3rd line centre, and may be ready right now for that kind of role, if given an opportunity with another team, but was never able to crack the Bruins lineup over the veteran players in front of him.

 

As for a recent profile on Studnicka, here’s a good post from today on HFBoards (written by one of the Bruins board’s mods):

 

“He's big, fast, not afraid of contact, good defensively, good shorthanded, was a prolific AHL player, led the league in shorthanded goals. He's smart, he makes clever passes, he can play center and right wing, but he's also light and gets knocked off the puck easily.

He never got confident at the NHL level, he also never really got a stretch in the NHL where he could adjust and get comfortable.

IMO, the Bruins botched his development. The Bruins, under Sweeney, have maintained that a rookie has to beat out a veteran to get a spot in the lineup. And since Sweeney keeps signing free agents it's really effin hard to beat one out. If you're an 'offensive' guy then you have to beat out a top9 guy.

Last summer they told him to add some strength and be prepared to have a good camp. He spent the summer in the gym, added 10lbs, had a great camp... and was sent down because the Bruins had no NHL roster spots, they would have had to waive someone to keep him up. I think that's when they broke him. No matter what he did he wasn't going to get an extended look here. I wouldn't be surprised if he asked for a trade.

He absolutely can be a 3c and after his big season in Providence it looked like he could be a 2c but his development stalled there.”

This reminds me of the Forsling trade.

[86Viking]

It would be great if Studnicka could turn in to a useful player for us. He isn't much of a prospect anymore in my opinion, it is kind of sink or swim now that he is 23 almost 24 and needs waivers to be sent down to the AHL. 

 

If fans don't put high expecations on this guy then any contribution he makes at the NHL level should be considered a success at this point. We won't know about Myrenberg for a few years just like Forsling who is now a top 4 D I believe on a top team in Florida.

 

On paper Studnicka seems to fit our needs, let's see who his linemates are and how he gets deployed...

 

I think some have mentioned he has size, he is listed at 6'1 187lbs...that doesn't scream size to me just average, let's see if he plays with an edge and likes to hit...can never have enough of that on your team!

I think this trade was about giving to guys DiPietro and Strudncka a fresh start to reinvigorate their careers.

HATE THIS.

 

Our ONLY progressing RHD or ANY size, one of only 11 we've drafted since 2003 that is lighting it upon sweden just tossed away for a redundant as f*** right shooting centre

 

It's like, hey you've got two flat tires, know what you need? A gd air freshener.  That'll fix things up 

 

Ffs this is stupid

It's funny that people on here are saying how he is 5-6 years away and yet you look at our prospect pool on RD and wonder why we don't have many. Is 4-5 years too long for this management/organization to develop Defensemen? The words that stuck out to me in all this is "he is an interesting player but he is 5 years away" so basically don't bother developing Defense because that's how long it usually takes. While sure he could be nothing. It's the principle of not being patient enough to show the fruits of your labor. It takes a long time to get D prospects to make the team. The teams impatience of drafting and developing shows. But what do we know WH, mere mortal fans that are tired of seeing this.

if Studnika turns into a RH3C for us, and Myrenberg a bottom 6 RHD or less its a win for us. If Myrenberg turns into a middle pair RHD then it was bad. No one knows what either of these guys will be, have to wait and see.

This speaks volumes.

 

We'll yet again be going for short term fixes, rather than focusing on the bigger picture.

 

We're destined to stay mediocre with this mentality.
