Bruins are on the clock.

I like Mike Babcocks candor

“This time of year there’s always somebody pissed off.”

Great quote.

 

[Gator Mike]

Bruins select D Roman Bychkov.

 

[EvilDead]

Roman Bychkov. A Russian defenseman from Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Was hoping they’d trade into the second round.

I was as well.

Takes 2 to tango.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

In the 5th Round the Bruins pick at #154: Roman Bychkov

Some info on Bychkov.

[Montecristo]

Small Russian dman. Maybe he’s gonchar

 

[KlausJopling]

Two years in a row we’ve selected a Russian. Glad there not just ignoring them any longer

 

[Gee Wally]

Seems like all 3 kids have a bit of sandpaper to them.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

He definitely will need weight if 161 lbs is correct. He's listed 5'11" so not overly short. Likes to hit and move the puck. I'll take it.

They can all move, too.

If you're not a plus skater, you can't play for Don Sweeney's Bruins.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Sweeney targetting players with speed, compete level, and grit.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Hope he isn't one of those Russians who never wants to come over.

I thought it be tough to get 30 players from the OHL drafted and that would be bad for that league.

We're up to 20 and it's ugly and embarrassing.

On the other hand, it leaves room for some free agent signings a la Kyle Keyser

 

[DominicT]

Hope he isn't one of those Russians who never wants to come over.

He should get drafted in the CHL Import draft next week and likely come over to NA

Just as a point of reference, what is the high-water mark for OHL draftees in a single draft in the modern 7-round draft era?

The Bych is BACK!

 

[EvilDead]

There's always that risk when selecting Russians and Euro players late in the draft.

I'd have to look it up but I believe 51.

30 would be their lowest ever and this won't reach 30 which I thought might be possible

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Why is Vancouver booing Nashville? Did they want Subban that badly, lol

 

[ap3lovr]

Really looking like the NCAA had made huge inroads into hockey. I wonder when it will eclipse the chl as a preferred destination.

 

[Gator Mike]

If you're watching on NHL Network... I love PK Subban.

 

[Gator Mike]

Also, the Bruins are on the clock.
