The Boston Bruins have informed Oskar Steen won't be coming back
The Boston Bruins have informed forward Oskar Steen that he will not be coming back to the team or organization next year.
A lot of players that get drafted later in the Entry Draft don't normally pan out and the Boston Bruins have seen that quite a bit over the last 10 years. Some names are Anders Bjork, Ryan Donato, Jacob Forsbacka-Karlsson, Zach Senyshyn, Jakub Zboril, and Jack Studnicka.
All these players have either not panned out with the Boston Bruins organization and are on other teams or not in the NHL anymore.
Oskar Steen seems to be in the same situation, a former sixth-round pick who has been told by the Boston Bruins to look somewhere else for employment as they don't see a fit in the organization with him.

#NHLBruins forward Oskar Steen will test free agency and the team has given him permission to do so #GetBent
2016 6th round pick
60 career games: 4-4-8
During his time with the Boston Bruins Oskar Steen has only seen 60 NHL games spending most of his time with the Providence Bruins. In those 60 NHL games Steen has put up a total of 8 points, 4 goals and 4 assists.
During his time with the Providence Bruins he has appeared in 222 AHL games and scored 53 goals, 63 assists for 116 points.
Moving forward the Boston Bruins have a clear picture on what they want to bring into their organization and don't see a fit for Oskar Steen. Steen will become a free agent once July 1st comes.
