Yes only 12. My bad. But the point still stands, they named 8 d-men in case Lauzon can't go

Are we comparing OHL players to NHL players now?
Great Sean day has 8 points and is a plus 5 but Carlo only has 2 points and a plus 5. You're comparing apples to grapefruits. Where apples is an NHL player because their good, and grapefruits are junior players because they are awful.
I am saying the hype on those two was over the top. If they were Marner, Nylander, Laine or Matthews then people would have a case. They are proving the pass on them was justified, the ones we missed out on has turned out okay. Whoever pines for them needs to forget them because they are forgettable and not regrettable.

I'd rather have young NHL players having trouble producing in my system than old junior players struggling to produce. But the bruins don't need any help right now thankfully
Come on now, this is seriously disingenuous. Writing off those 2 examples as "forgettable" 7 games into their career is equally as foolish as writing off Senyshyn or anyone else.
It's okay to admit that Senyshyn is off to a very disappointing start this year. The Bruins took a gamble reaching for him because they liked him, they opened themselves up to criticism if he doesn't live up to expectations which he isn't. The others you mentioned have already accomplished something that ZS hasn't, arguing otherwise is grasping for straws.
Forget Senyshyn we are talking about the 2 superstars we missed out on. Put it this way on the Bruins alone Heinen, O'Gara, Carlo, Czarnik have outplayed them so far. On the Bruins they would be behind our guys, so yeah so far they are Khoklacheving all over the ice. Connor/Barzal deserve critism because of the inflated hype and the Sweeney screwed us crowd. There accomplishments do not add up to what our guys are doing now. Big deal what they did means nothing now. Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side and I like who we took. I am very happy not to hear about those two anymore.
Reminder, this thread is to discuss Bruin prospects and their progress. ANY rehash of the 2016 draft is to be done in that thread. Not here !

Senyshyn doesn't have to prove to anyone in the Bruins front office or coaching staff that he can score in the OHL. He has already shown he can score at the OHL level. Mentioning this years stats makes no sense as some sort of failure in the OHL.

What is your basis for him being a bust?
Reading
Live scouting
Taped viewing
Stats
Word of mouth
Gut/intuition
You seem adamant along with one other member here he is a bust
I'm interested on why so convinced- like you know something others don't
Look I hope the kid turns out to be the greatest scorer in NHL history. He had a rough off season, maybe it's just a bad start and he'll turn it around, but if his production, at his age, in Jr, falls off a cliff because he's been asked to be better defensively ... that is still massively disappointing. What does that indicate for his ability to play an adequately rounded game in the future at the NHL level? Might not be fair to the kid, but the Bruins picked him in the middle of the first round, and that carries expectations especially in a draft + 2 season.
Right now it looks like the Bs got caught trying to be the smartest guys in the room.
My opinion based on watching him play so far this season. Is that okay? Or is it only ok to have positive opinions of Bs prospects? I dont know if he'll be a bust, but I surely expected more from him at his age in Jr.
Again it's ok to admit the kid has had a disappointing start. Doesn't mean you have to write off his future.
Yes, let's continue to react emotionally and dissect every games he plays. So we can be happy when he gets 4 goals in a game, and get upset everytime he doesn't.
In many ways I think Sports was better before the internet, when you were lucky if you got an update once a month on the play of your prospects.

No kidding
At least got to see him live in preseason and he checked off the boxes I wanted so we will see how goes

I don't think Senyshyn is having a rough start regardless of his off-season. Since the the begining of last season I have not been disappointed in him while watching games online. The big thing I would say I would like to see changed, is that, Senyshyn is very streaky.
No matter who is coaching the Bruins, Senyshyn will have to play a well rounded game just like Barzal and Connor will have to. We can agree on one thing, hoping that he kills it for Boston.

Haha, not to be confused with Norwegian singer Bjork, swan outfit and all. I too am looking forward to seeing him and the others that are doing so well for us in college and junior. We could have one really skilled fast pest line with him, Gabrielle and Blidh.

Great to hear how great Bjork is doing. After eight games he's tied for the lead in points for the NCAA. Know who he's tied for the lead with?
Mike Vecchione.
***Apologies in advance, as he's not a Bruins prospect-but he's not anyone's prospect-and since we don't have any active ones, I didn't know if it was appropriate to bump a two-year-old undrafted NCAA prospects thread.***
But check it out: 5'10" 194lbs, grew up in Saugus as a Bruins fan, went to Malden Catholic (with Ryan Fitzgerald), and undrafted in 2011 after putting up 70 points at MC. Goes to Union College where he's managed to put up 52-77-129 in 119 games as of Oct 30th, and attended Bruins development camp in 2015 as a non-roster invite.
Did I mention he's a right shooting right winger?
Krug...Czarnik...Vatrano...Acciari...Vecchione?
I have no idea if NHL (or better: Bruins) scouts are watching his games, but maybe something to keep an eye out for when Union's season is over?

Anyway, steering this back on subject, I'm glad to see how great our prospects are doing. Hope for the future!

Thanks for posting Dan!
Love the outside speed driving to the net. In both instances he took the puck from a wide angle, improved his own angle while using speed to the net while protecting the puck.
Refreshing to see that instead of a cycle then pass to the point for a shot wide hoping for deflection...
