Some new details have emerged on the Boston Bruins possibly demoting a newly acquired forward.
The Boston Bruins had a lot of question marks entering the season this year, and after making three separate roster cuts, they slimmed their roster down to be complaint for the season opener.
Some fan favourites like Fabian Lysell, Matt Poitras, Michael DiPietro, and Georgii Merkulov unfortunately didn't make the roster.
But some newly acquired players the Bruins signed to deals this off-season ended up cracking the NHL roster, and one player could get demoted already.
Marat Khusnutdinov looks impressive
One player that really stood out for the Boston Bruins last night was Marat Khusnutdinov.
Some fans believe that Khusnutdinov should be placed on the 3rd line, instead of the fourth line.
Wouldn't he be better on the 3rd line? Been watching the B's for a long time and very rarely see a small, fast, young kid with a skill play on the 4th line. I know he's not going to be anywhere near Marchand but he's the last one I can remember?
Right now, this is how the Bruins third and fourth lines are looking:
Jeannot-Minten-Eyssimont
Khusnutdinov-Kuraly-Kastelic
Khusnutdinov-Kuraly-Kastelic
If Khusnutdinov were to get promoted to the third line, it would mean that Michael Eyssimont, a player the Bruins just signed in the off-season, would get demoted to the 4th line.
The Boston Bruins will not take Tanner Jeannot off the third line, as they are using him as Fraser Minten's "body guard", so if someone were to get demoted it would be him.
Do you think the Boston Bruins should demote Michael Eyssimont?
