I thought there would be at least one trade by now. I guess this draft class is so good nobody wants to trade the higher picks away.

You know Vegas likes to put on a show, be interesting to see the Draft there next year.
That dude a robot?
and a ton of centers taken too, the gut punches keep rolling. Hockey gods were definitely cruel to Boston fans this year. Like Lucy holding the Football for Charlie

The sting of not having a first round pick really hit me when I saw NYR get Perreault at 23rd pick. Draft is so dang deep. Insane that kind of quality was available that late. Heck they are on pick 27 and really good players are still available.

If the Bruins had their first round pick they still wouldn't have picked yet.

Chicago won the lottery, but after that imo Philly and Detroit winning this draft so far.
Philly will suck for a few more years but they're going to be a force again in about 3 or 4 more. Yzerman is just a smart GM. Detroit won't suck for too many more years either.
Yotes are just head scratching.
Sucks that the Bruins aren't involved.

Yep, and they would still have plenty of great options left. So deep. Second round is going to be interesting as well. Some very nice centers and d-men still available.

Chicago grabbing Moore at 19 was pretty wicked. Fastest skater in the draft along with getting Bedard could be quite the haul. Agree that Philly and Detroit did great. Philly going to have to wait a while it seems for Michkov to be able to come to the NHL, but from what I've seen of him it'll be worth the wait. I think Philly got the second best player in the draft.

Ne pas plonger!
It’s tough to do with hockey. Very few of these kids are NHL ready. It’s not like the NFL or NBA where they get drafted and play immediately, so I feel most of the analysis is just comparing their game to a current player, spitting out some stats, and saying where they will be playing in the next year or two.
Can the Bruins, you know, actually do something and get some draft capital instead of sitting on their hands like nothing's wrong? I don't care what bullshit metric any of the apologists want to throw at me to justify last season, this team is going nowhere. Blow it up and start clearing roster slots for the prospects in Providence that need to develop and refill your prospect pool instead of letting them stagnate.

They wanna make another run next year donny isnt gonna tear this down . Hes gonna bandage it and make playoffs next year. I'm ok with this strategy especially next year with bergy last year probably.
