Happy! Somewhat local, playing in Boston for the next few and can keep track. Want to see him at development camp. Who knows, could be a busy but man if he translates to the show he could be nasty

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

BC a good place to learn. Close to the team so they can spend time on him.

This could be a core player in 3-4 years.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Dude is gonna be fun to watch progress.

Starting with development camp this week?

 

[Gordoff]

So cool. The Bruins can keep a close eye on him and he can drop into the Warrior for events, practices etc. Get 'em young and have them for life.

 

[Tbaybruin]

6”61/2. Wow might top out at over 6’7. Love his stride. If he gets over 15 points as a freshman, look out.

 

[JOKER 192]

2015 all over again, the Bruins pick, the following pick ......sigh

 

[the negotiator]

no coincidence that he'll be up the street at BC where the Bs can keep a close watch on his development

Might take a while but the potential is there ...we shall see

 

[NeelyDan]

Early shot of Deaner at development camp

 

[Gordoff]

Blackhawks rebounding fast: BASTARDS!

The good news about Letourneau is that he's considered a unicorn. Not only does he have great size he looks coordinated and nimble in his skating too.

Article: Film Room: Dean Letourneau's size and skill make him worth a first-round gamble in 2024 NHL Draft

The main concern even though he averaged 2 points per game was his level of competition not his tools.

I think it's also a really nice bonus that he will get to develop at BC right in the Boston area. So he will feel very comfortable with the local area by the time he makes the transition to the Bruins.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Good ,not great

Well sure but he’s a boom or bust guy. Skates well for a big man. I say great. I’m a homer

 

[JOKER 192]

I hope we’re wrong

That's 2 of us

 

[chizzler]

Funny how LA and Chicago moved quick

There were going to be more further along prospects than Letourneau but it's ok to swing for the fences here. I think Greentree is going to be a very good player, and they may have gotten it wrong, but to me it was the right move at this spot in the draft. He has legit top 2C potential and you would figure with that skating and size a high floor as a bottom 6 guy. You could also see him sliding to the RW and being very good. Vanacker is another guy I think who will be a very good pro

I hope I'm so f***ing wrong I'm laughed off these boards

 

[KrejciWinger]

Greentree is 6'3 211, but it's a lucky guess either way

 

[Drift]

Called it love it

 

[chizzler]

That was the pick. They f***ed up. Skill and size like you said.

Greentree is 6'3 211, but it's a lucky guess either way

 

[Bruinator]

It will be interesting to track the 2 of them

Greentree is 6'3 211, but it's a lucky guess either way

 

[Drift]

M

Let's goooooooooooooooooooo

Dean Letourneau come on down!

Meant to reply to this

 

[LouJersey]

There is nothing wrong with wanting Greentree here and being disappointed. Kid to me is a lock winger in the NHL for a long time, especially in an organization like LA.

Agree. My hope is a better Coyle.

Could be Blake Wheeler if Blake Wheeler was a center.
