NHL 2025 DRAFT - Bruins pick 7th

[GordonHowe]

Yeah the Gabe Vilardi comparison isn’t overly optimistic. Seven years after he was drafted, he finally had his first 60 point season.

I’m with the majority here. McQueen may be an interesting player, but no way on God’s Green Hell do I take him at 7OA.

I would not touch McQueen.

Martin, Eklund, *Martone,* Deysnoyers, Hagens, O'Brian, etc.

Again, you never know who might be available.

Yeah, didn’t somebody say his spine is the issue? Pretty important part of the body. Important enough that Buffalo split ways with their franchise center over how his was going to be surgically treated.

Sucks for the kid, but I’d probably pass on him until the 2nd round, and that’s only because we have two picks there.

If the story was, “this guy absolutely is a better player than all the above at 7”, then that’s a different story. Parity, too close to call or not enough games played to know?…forget it!

It is unfortunate for the player. But I would certainly stay away in the first round. If he is still available in the second, maybe you take a chance.

What the F? We have half the board “hoping we don’t pick this high again for a long time”, like this team is a quick fix, and one #7 makes us a contender. Then you have guys suggesting trade down. If this franchise doesn’t know how to pick a better player at #7 than #13, then that’s a shame and we should fire the whole scouting department.

I have more faith in the Bruins scouting department to find NHL players in the 2nd round then I do the Players drafted in the 1st round.

Hello 2015

Jack Nesbitt , 6'4" 184 pound C from the OHL Windsor Spitfires is another option for the Bruins after the first round. Big strong kid. I believe he had 84 points. Plays power play and PK. 2 shorties this season. Not sure Sweeney will stick to the CHL.

myNHLdraft.com has Nesbitt being drafted 1st round 16th OVA

 

[The don godfather]

Martone desnoyers frondell ecklund o brian are all gonna be solid players. Get one of them.

How long has Dennis Bonvie been in a head scouting position?

How long has Scott Bradley been with the scouting department and in other organizational positions?

" Since 1993."

What does this tell you?

If they don't f"ck it up, they will.

 

[bobber]

BPA all day. No trading down. No trading up. You need one stud and”multiple prospects” not only this year but also next. FA class is extremely top heavy. Chances are that Bruins don’t get a “prize” in free agency and that next year is a chase for the playoffs. That means at least another top 12 pick. They had a great run. The hope should be that over the next two drafts they fill the cupboard with talent while competing all year to make the playoffs. BPA every round. Wingers/Def/Centers. The team needs NEW talent everywhere.

Bruins are in dire need of improving their prospect pool. One of the worse in the league. Not a time to piss around with draft picks. Take the BPA in the first and thr best players available in the 2nd. If the scouts are up to snuff there will be some decent prospects to be had .

 

[FONZIE]

I'd say BPA unless it's close. If it comes down to Martone/Frondell or Martone/Hagens then pick the Center because they're close enough talent-wise.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

I love Victor Eklund and I'd be thrilled if the Bruins got him. Hoping for him or one of the top 6 to drop.

I have a hard time getting excited for him due to Lysell-PTSD.

Martin the the best pick at 7 --if he's still on the board. Tom Wilson had 9 goals in his draft year (33 this year in NHL). OHL level grit translates to NHL very well with a skill base.

 

[McBrom7]

I can’t lie I’m gonna be pretty damn salty about the final 2 games of the season if he goes one pick ahead of us to Philly.

 

[The don godfather]

Rossi is probably better then any player after misa . I would deal that pick for him in a heartbeat. He exploded for 60 nhl points at 23 years old.

No

 

[The don godfather]

No

If Donny gets McQueen or something out of range open the pepto. I have my pink bottles ready .

Fireable. Dont risk it

 

[The don godfather]

Fireable. Dont risk it

I already got the nightmare desnoyers will slip were all gonna say pick him when hes there. Donny goes up were proud to select Jackson Smith Dman.

 

[BMC]

If they don't f"ck it up, they will.

"If" being the key word.

I just don't trust this management to get it right.

 

[Bruin4]

I can’t lie I’m gonna be pretty damn salty about the final 2 games of the season if he goes one pick ahead of us to Philly.

He’ll go before that and Philly will take Martin, leaving the Bruins with O’Brien.

It’s a lock !

If he does that, Pink will be the flavor of the day, and Sweeney will be receiving his Pink slip!

 

[Bruinator]

Martone desnoyers frondell ecklund o brian are all gonna be solid players. Get one of them.

It's a guarantee that 2 of them will be there at 7. Maybe three of them if Martin goes in the top six. I would be ecstatic with any one of them. Another wild card is what if one of these teams decides they want the best defenseman available outside of Schaeffer.They really shouldn't be able to screw this up

If frondell is there you grab him and run. I think hes best of the bunch after misa martone the o brian.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I think Frondell will drop and be there. Caleb D, Brady M, Mrtka, O'brien all seem to be rising.

 

[PlayMakers]

He’ll go before that and Philly will take Martin, leaving the Bruins with O’Brien.

It’s a lock !

If Desnoyers and Martin are both gone before the Bruins pick, that means one of Martone, Hagens or Frondell is still there at 7.

I wouldn't say O'Brien is a lock over one of those guys.

Game 2 in the QMJHL FInals is in the books, what a game went to 2OT, Wildcats win 4-3 and lead the series 2-0. Desnoyers had a couple of nice assists and continues to lead the league in playoff scoring. Pecarcik had a great game and both goalies were very good.
