Interesting. I'm pretty shocked they didn't go with a goalie there

He has a big finish, led Oshawa in points in the postseason with 15 points in 11 games

Long scouting article on him
https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/2017/5/26/15683226/jack-studnicka-2017-nhl-draft-prospect-profile

That analysis sounds like he could be anywhere from a 3rd or 4th line guy to never making it in the NHL at all. Typical Bruins pick a guy with a so-so scouting analysis that could be a reach to make it as a bottom 6 forward. But 2nd round in a not too deep draft he might be worth the pick.

From the same article in post 25 included this quote from Dom on the pick.

“Studnicka has good size – although adding bulk will be key for him. He is an excellent skater who has an explosive first step and decent top end speed who can change direction with ease. He possesses very good vision with high quality playmaking skills with an ability to set up his teammates. His shot is underrated in my opinion. His release is deceptive and accurate and he puts every shot on goal with a purpose. Studnicka can be elusive in the offensive zone. He can break away from coverage almost undetected and put himself into scoring positions. He has very good puck skills and strong possession skills. Although he needs to add some muscle, he will not shy away from the hard areas. Once he gets stronger, it will become an area where he wins more often than he loses because of it – and his work ethic.” – Dominic Tiano"

Local kid Ben Mirageas who was maybe the most interesting NE skater in the draft goes to the Isles in the 3rd round

There are some very unfortunate names in this draft which could lend themselves to bad nicknames, puns, or jokes.

Mismash
Studnicka
Lane Ziblocki (block zi lane)

And let us not forget "Cake" Makar thanks to NHL Twitter.

:laugh:

Late in the 3rd round, and a bunch of goalies taken

The monsterous Keith Petruzelli, who some had in the late first round is still on the board. Come on Donnie.

Believe this 3rd round selection is tied to what the Flyers picked up from the Bruins for Rinaldo. Could be a source of backlash should he one day excel for Philly.

18 80 PHI BOS-PHI KIRILL USTIMENKO G BLR 6' 3" 187 RUSSIA-JR.

Was really hoping that the B's would find a way to get miragaes. Loved him when he was at Avon in NE Prep.

Walsh tore up NE Prep this year and it will be interesting to see where Jack Rathbone from Dexter goes who also had a very good in NE Prep this year

Anyone have an idea why Popugayev, who was ranked top 30 by most places has now fallen to the 4th round?

Would like to see it traded. If not, hope for C or RW. Maybe we can find another JFK or Bergeron.

Good call
