How Does Signing Tyler Johnson Impact The Bruins Roster?
With Riley Tufte assigned to Providence does this move make room for the Bruins to bring in Tyler Johnson? Adam Pellerin and Judd Sirott explore the potential impact bringing in Johnson would have on the rest of the roster. If he best connects with Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle as his linemates. And would bringing Johnson in mean possibly sending young center Matthew Poitras to the AHL, or will the Bruins hold onto him?

Fourth line great. Third line should be Coyle, Freddie and Zacha, that would be great. Top 6 we have Marchand, Pasta, Lindholm and Poitras (hopefully). Sending him down to providence is rediculous. A couple games he’s been out best forward. That means we are short 2. We need to take a chance on Lysell, Merk and Johnson and Brazau.
Send Poitras to Providence. He is not showing he is ready for prime time.
Look at Tyler Johnson's NHL Stat's …and he is still a great playmaker/scorer as shown in camp… there are just a few on Bruin's roster that can match him offensively. The only reason we don't have him playing is because of Swayman.
So did they sign him?
No no no no no, don’t sign Johnson.
I definitely feel he will be more like Tufte or Jones. I don’t believe he is the caliber of Heinen, or better.
What about Patrice at the helm
