You may want to add Anders Bjork, but they are returning much of the same team so there is no new shiny toy at this point. This is Bjork’s 3rd pro season, each of his first 2 have ended with shoulder surgery. He has played 50 NHL games, has flashed at times, but hasn’t broken out. He has looked good so far in camp but isn’t a lock to make the opening night roster. If things go right he has top 6 potential, but his first 2 years haven’t gone well so he is still a mystery.
Then it is down to Providence. Urho Vaakanainen (D) and Jack Studnicka (C) are their top 2 prospects. Vaakanainen is likely the first D up if/when then injury bug hits. This is Studnicka’s first pro season so he is a bit further down the depth chart in terms of getting called up but is a notable player to follow at Providence. Another player to watch is winger Oskar Steen. 6th round pick from 2016, he broke out offensively in the Swedish Elite League last season. This will be his first NA pro season and he has excelled in camp. He could be up on the NHL roster sooner rather than later.
