"No upside". One of the better vids I've found of Boisvert and highlights him perfectly.

Good scouting video of Sachas all around playstyle.
A bit of a puck hog in the neutral zone and has poor offensive zone entry with possesion of the puck numbers
Great puck skills and a strong shooter. Some smoothness in his skating with the puck

All of these prospects are unfinished players at this point.
I don't think we can say which will turn out better than expected or worse than expected until they prove it.
So many greats were picked late in the draft and so many busts were picked early.
It's a crapshoot. You do your best to find someone who you think can make that jump to the NHL in a few years and hope for the best.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg were late picks.
Robitaille and Brett Hull also.
Nobody expected these guys to become NHL stars.
For all we know at this point, John Mustard could be a Hall of Famer.
So let's just hope for the best and give the kids a chance to prove themselves.

I was looking at the "HF Boards Top 50 Prospects" lists from over the years and it solidifies my apathy for prospects and the draft. You never really know. By all means some of you here like/love talking about prospects and that's all well and good but it does nothing for me. The success rate on most of these kids is way, way, way too low for me to follow their development seriously.

Powers with a nice article on Boisvert.
I will add... That he has some pretty filthy hands over Toews... doubt if Sacha can BULL and win the Puck /board battles that Toews did in his first several years...
But-yeah--that video shows that Boisvert could be special.
Also like that he has a very Boyish face... which leads me to believe he has a lot of filling out to do as well as maturing... which means even more potential upside...like Rinzel

read Powers' piece and Wheeler's (from 5/24). feeling pretty optimistic here. kid seems laser focused. as myriad others have stated myriad times, it's impossible to project what the finished product is going to be. but I see very little to be concerned about. 2 years at UND (great choice, BTW) and then on to the Hawks (almost certainly the Hogs). next 2 years are gonna be interesting.

Kid turns into the second coming of Wayne Simmonds and people will still say they should have taken x player instead.
Kids tough. Double tough. Nobody is going to cheap shot Bedard once this kid arrives.

you want an apostrophe here. unless you are making a general statement about the surprising capacity of children to withstand hardship and dropping the auxiliary verb caveman style, which would be contextually very confusing.

Would assume many of you already follow NCAA/North Dakota Hockey Reporter GOAT Brad Schlossman on Twitter, but if you don't he's the one to follow to keep up with what is going on with UND and he tends to reply to questions you may have about guys like Boisvert or UND in general.

I don’t see him like that, but I’m not a pro talent evaluator. I’ll be over the moon ecstatic if he turns out like they have him portrayed in that article.Sacha Boisvert - 2024 NHL Draft Prospect Profile - The Hockey Writers NHL Entry Draft Latest News, Analysis & More
