Analysis:
Anders Bjork is a player with a lot of praise and good feelings about his play...but there are also a lot of question marks around him. Which is never fun for a rookie, even if it’s not his fault.
He played perfectly fine as a top 6 winger in a mere 30 games of being one, helped by the fact he was often playing with some of the best compliments a young winger can have with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. When he was on his game, he showed how head-and-shoulders above many of his former NCAA peers he was with the kind of poise and skill that makes you believe he’s been playing in the NHL for awhile now.
