Bruins announce new lines and pairings after massive roster cut
The Boston Bruins decided to make some huge cuts today as 19 players were sent down including top prospects Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov.
Many were surprised to see the two top prospects gone so early from camp since most saw them battling for a roster spot even though they were off a rough start in the pre season.
Since the Bruins decided to get rid of so many players, the lines and pairings for practice have changed quite a bit but there is no update on any cuts in Providence with all these players headed down.
As the Bruins continue to search for the winger to replace Jake DeBrusk on the second line, they have Morgan Geekie currently playing with captain Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle while Matt Poitras is back to centering the third line.

Fans were surprised by a lot of the moves general manager Don Sweeney decided to make as certain players that were kept seemed like questionable choices with who they decided to send down.
