Austin Czarnik came into Boston on the heels of a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing was that he was genuinely impressive in camp, he competed well in spite of his small stature and his knack for crazy fast, accurate shots, speedy skating, and willingness to get into the thick of the action on offense or defense got him in the good graces of Claude Julien.
The bad thing was of course...the fact that he had his roster spot solidified by the injury of Frank Vatrano, who ended up being out for half the year.
