In the past, he was widely regarded as the most promising prospect within the Boston Bruins lineup.
At only 20 years old, he impressively accumulated 49 points across 60 games in the AHL. Despite his considerable value at that time, he struggled to establish a consistent presence in the NHL, recording just 16 points in 90 games.
Now 24, Studnicka has shown promise with 7 points achieved in 9 games for the Canucks while playing in Abbotsford.
His move to San Jose presents an opportunity for a fresh beginning.
