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
Kirill Ustimenko A goalie from St Petersberg closes the RInaldo deal
Another local Riley Walsh goes to the devils

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.

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?

Probably just got your answer as they talked about him. Huge drop off in production for the last 45 games of the season. So very much a wild card
