They have plenty of options to use in that spot, and there are at least 3 wingers in the Bruins lineup who could compete for the spot.
One of these is a proven winger under Jim Montgomery's system Trent Frederic who played 82 games for the Bruins and had a career year scoring 40 points( 18 G, 22 A) in 2023-2024.
He's got the kind of play the Bruins love, as a two-way forward, and can defend his teammates on the ice too. Who doesn't love a good, old-fashioned power-forward?
Fabian Lysell played 56 games in the AHL, scoring 50 points(15 G, 35 A), and could get a look on the right flank as well.
And Morgan Geekie, had an excellent showing in 2023-2024, proving to be a good depth option when the Bruins needed the help playing 76 games with the Bruins scoring 39 points( 17 G, 22 A) a career year for the former Kraken forward.
