Anybody that compares Martin to Clutterbuck is only looking at one aspect of his game and giving a poor scouting report.
We are f'd
I'm convinced our entire executive office doesn't know what to do with themselves with a first-round pick. They are either unprepared or reaching.
Pick the best available player. That's all you have to do in the first round. The entire team sucks so it's not like you don't need the player at any position.
Ok…by whose determination? Read the draft coverage, look at the lists and the mocks, listen to the podcasts. This draft is a crapshoot after 2 (I think after 3 with Hagens but alas). They are going to pick who they think the best available player is, as is any team. Such a tired narrative.
The person who posted it suggested it was a reflection of the Bruins draft board.

Yeah I’m sure people have seen their draft board. Teams usually give random media guys a peek at their plans.
They reached for a C last year instead best player available according to any list you want to use. Please give me 2 reputable lists that you can find that had Letourneau rated higher than Chernyshov.
So you are saying about 13-16 and I think he could be gone or available at that point. If he were available I pull the trigger in a minute. Admittedly my assessment of this player may be irrational as I have fallen head over heels for the reports. But he’s not the only player I’d do this for I’ve seen in that range. So I’d have to see the board but I’m open to it depending.
Great video, he had lots of good things to say about Frondel, Hagens and O'Brien (he was asked about them by name).
No way !! Another 25 goals overpaid canucks ?? He will be 27
I don't think that's true. Redline has him at 7. Craig Button has him at 6. Daily Faceoff has him at 7. Sportnet has him at 7. The Hockey Writers final rankings has him at 6...
the problem isn't that they "reach", and it's not like they're thinking, "well, we're pretty sure Kyle Connor will be better than Senyshen, but no one will see this coming..." It's not an issue of draft strategy or some sort of faulty roster construction. It's either bad scouting, or not listening to the scouts. As a group, they got together and decided that Seny was a better prospect than Barzal and Connor. That Vaak was the right move, that Beecher was the guy. Whatever process they used to reach those conclusions is the issue.
There are plenty of others that don’t have him that high either consolidated is 15
The guys that have him later are guys that are usually not in the buildings and/or are idiots.
