Boston Bruins: Khokhlachev Wants To Play in NHL Not KHL

The Boston Bruins have a very big problem, but it’s a problem that most teams would be envious of. One of the best prospects in the Bruins system, Alexander Khokhlachev, wants to be an NHL player and believes he’s NHL ready. That in itself isn’t quite the problem, however. Due to the fact that the Bruins have such a deep lineup down the middle of the ice with players like Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Ryan Spooner, and even Chris Kelly and Max Talbot, who are both capable of logging effective bottom-six minutes, it is almost impossible to fit Alexander Khokhlachev into the lineup at center.
