At that point you take your guy.
The only forward added to our top 6 is Hall. I’d rather take the 3-3m UFA wings listed here and turn it into the best single forward we can get hopefully someone that can drive play on line 2.
Player preference, I like Frondell and if they miss on Martone and the other centers I mentioned I would be fine with him, I think he and Martone are the two closest to being ready next year and having some impact.
Hagens over Martone. It's a no brainer. Next 4-5 are more dealer's choice, though I would prefer Frondell over all of them. I don't think I'd pick Martone unless the Bruins are at 6 and he drops there.
Personally I would prefer Caleb Desnoyers over Hagens , but I am no expert, I have limited viewings of both
Classic. I feel this is the most important thing to the Bruins brass.
It wouldn't surprise me if Misa goes number one or two at the latest.
I see Hagens as being a good talent and is a top five pick but is more of a pass first Center, playmaker vs goal scorer.
Schaefer is the top pick in this draft according to most scouts.
I agree with you fully if it’s Marner, just feel like we can’t/wont match the offers over 13mil he will get. I like Ehlers more than Boeser but not entirely sold on either, and last summers signing left a cautious feeling in my stomach if you know what I mean. For this mockup, I didn’t want any acquired players via trade really (save for pickard), just who was out there via UFA (or obtainable RFA) which isn’t much. I would easily remove Hall and Roslovic, and Pionk and even Fabbro though to put a scoring threat up top and give the top 6 more gas. Cuylle though is a great opportunity. If you can find a way to trade for a quality top6 forward I’m curious what the cost is, and think it likely involves Zacha or Mitts given other players protections on the team.
He's been in Boston for six months. I'm sure that's not going to keep people from yapping about Sweeney only liking local kids. Which...looking at recent draft history...doesn't make any sense at all.
Id take Both over him, but that just my opinion, Martone reminds me of an Anthony Mantha type, sure he'll be a good NHLer, but one who you see so much more in, but your never getting.
You are a thief of joy.
Honestly, my little yap was more in terms of trading and acquiring so many US born players. I don't have all that much bad to say about the drafting other than the obvious.
And to think in 2015 he could've replaced his two Canadian CHL 1st round wingers with two Americans drafted shortly after from the USHL and that draft would be judged VERY differently.
