After the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney missed out on filling any holes through free agency, they'll be looking to fill those holes internally.�
One of the roles that has a big question mark beside it is the third line center role.�
Joe McDonald of The Athletic expects the Bruins could easily have the answer within their organization.�
McDonald writes that Jakob�Forsbacka Karlsson will fight hard to earn that role during training camp.�
The 2015 second round pick had 32 points in 58 games for the Providence Bruins last season which included 15 goals.�
From McDonald:
"He has a high level of skill and can make high-end plays, the kind of plays you need your third-line center to make at the NHL level. He went through a year last year where he turned into a professional hockey player. He was playing against men, and there were some adjustments, and he still had a pretty solid year."
Do you think he can steal the third line center role?
