However, given we’re now six years removed from that draft and Peter Cehlarik still hasn’t made it stick with the Boston Bruins, you’ve got to wonder whether we should give up on the idea of him ever turning into much more than another tweener; not quite good enough for the NHL but slightly above AHL level.
Last season saw him hit a new career-high in NHL regular season games, tallying 20 appearances for the Boston Bruins and managing to grab four goals and two assists during that time with the big club.
His stat line with the Providence Bruins in the AHL certainly suggests that there’s enough to his game to make the jump permanently.
