NHL 2025 DRAFT - Bruins pick 7th III

[Kegs]

Greentree who was picked right after by los angeles got like 100 points. Donny might have done another reach debacle here. Its early but not looking good.

There is a massive difference between drafting 25th and drafting 7th. Don’t lose sleep over this my guy.

Letourneau left a lot to be desired this year, it seems. Hopefully he can break out. 0 goals in 36 games at BC.

Sweeney dug deep finding Letourneau. He wasn't playing Major A in the OHL. He could have done better. Steers away from a lot of CHL players. Instead he took a dark horse hoping for a miracle.

Also a pretty big difference between the OHL and the NCAA

I’m getting nervous they might move that pick for a more established player. That presser yesterday might have just been Sweeney keeping his options open but it smelled like they’ve had talks.

Sweeney has been overall good IMO on trades but this franchise is desperate for young talent up front. And if they think they can contend quickly and move a high pick in that effort I think they are high as a kite.

I doubt anyone trades for that pick until the draft itself. Teams are going to want to see their guy is there before dealing for the pick.

Letourneau would have racked up points in the USHL or OHL IMO, I wouldn't stress about it

Did you already know that Desnoyers challenged Hughes to trade up for him? And not surprising why, it's been since Lafrenière that Quebec produced a prospect this touted.

So yes, I think it's possible for the Habs to swing for the fences on him. There's been stuff like 1, 1, 2, 2, floated to land him. Which I wouldn't accept in Sweeney's shoes. So if they want him, it's more.

I really do not care if Desnoyers proposed being traded to Montreal or not . Kent Hughes is only making a trade if he feels it benefits the habs

I like what I saw from him in the few games I seen, but dam 3 points, and no goals is pretty lame. Teddy Stiga picked 30 picks later had 30 points on the same team.

He also had 2 years in the National Development Program before going to BC

Different line mates, more ice time.

I hope he doesn’t trade the 7th for someone a year away from free agency. Make the pick. Spend wisely in UFA market/ or via trade. Save some coin for next summer.

UFA:

McDavid
Panarin
Eichel
Makar
Kaprizov
Laine
Connor
Tuch

RFA:

Bedard
Necas
Zegras
Robertson
Cooley
Nemec
Carlsson
Harley
Fantilli
Etc etc etc…

I think his play led to that

Leterneau reminds me of Joe Colborne. I’ll leave it at that

He didn't dig that deep. Letourneau was ranked by most to go late in the first round.

Hell of a shot there. Curious - how many games did you watch Letourneau play this year?

THW have Frondell falling to the Bruins , if only it was true.

Three games live this past season. Merrimack Providence Northeastern. Smooth skater, but never stood out. He’s 6’7” so he’s noticeable in that way. If he were 6’0” I wouldn’t have known he was playing. He looked overwhelmed. Hoping he could put it behind him and take a leap.

How many of those players will actually get to free agency?

I'm thinking, very few.

Not sure that accounts for a 27 pt. difference.

I watched Letourneau in the Beanpot and he was getting time with Hagens.

No idea. Has anyone done the math? What percentage of UFA’s-to-be make it to free agency? Let’s only include the top 50 scorers.

Interesting read.

Frondell with a VO2 max of 64.7 and did pretty well in one of the anaerobic tests. Fit boy.

If hes joe colborne that's not so bad. He carved out a few good seasons. I'm hoping hes a brian boyle type.

Sometimes I wonder if we roam the same planet, lol.

Projected top-five draft pick could fall to the Bruins at No. 7

As is usually the case with the NHL Entry Draft, some late risers will begin to take control of the narrative leading up to the event. It happened last season w

Of those 8 UFAs you list I bet 1 actually goes to free agency. Regarding the RFAs, how often are offer sheets used?
