So, the last conversation Mantykivi had with the Bruins was before the start of the year when Jamie Langenbrunner called him.

One of my favorite times of the year.

That seems very odd

 

[Saxon Eric]

If they're not signing him they better have a plan B

 

[DominicT]

That seems very odd

I spoke with his father and uncle today. That's what they told me and Langenbrunner told Matias they like him very much.

I will talk to Matias after the playoffs. I don't want to bother him while they are still playing.

Interesting. Seems odd. i would figure PJ and a couple of the euro scouts would have swung by a few times to watch him live, but i really know nothing. I also don't really know what the contact rules are

Its complicated. They can't sign him until May 1 when his current contract expires. But he has an extension with Ilves that takes effect May 1. That Liiga contract comes with an NHL out clause. It also comes with the standard IIHF out clause until June 15. Bruins only hold his right until June 1.

So bu May 1 we should know something can’t believe they won’t sign a prospect if they like him. Especially with almost no draft picks in 2023

Enjoyed 2 periods in Guelph today. Nice meeting Guelph Bruin. Thanks so much for the beer. Beer and wings on me Buffalo prospects game this September.

Poitras was quick, smart with the puck (hockey IQ thing evident), beautiful snipe for the first goal, agree with Guelph Bruin fan he isn't playing defensive hockey but that could be by design.

I was impressed with Mast. Big, strong, and decent wheels for a big dude.

Was hoping to see Mast/Poitras rumble ... only time that came close was on the pp.

Guelph is beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed Guinness at McCabe's...Good recommendation Guelph Bruin!

Poitras should stay in OHL for 1 more year. Needs to add some bulk. He didn't shy away from physical stuff but still needs some strenght/heavy.

Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: April 9, 2023

Plenty of disappointing ends to their season for Boston Bruins prospects last week. But hey, they should be happy with the seasons they have had. Today I am going to do it a little different and br…

Trying to learn more about Providence College goalie Philip Svedeback but don't see a thread for him even though he was drafted by the Bruins in 2021 (4th-117 overall).

In looking at his stats they are respectable and he played 34 games for the Friars as a freshman.

Is there more to know?

He's starter material, if you're able to watch him he will remind you of a young Tuukka Rask, same mechanics, same technique, improved mentally by leaps and bounds from his USHL days,PC asked a lot of him this year and he delivered

 

[DominicT]

My predictions have Sarnia and London winning their series and meeting in the Conference Finals. It all begins tomorrow night for Mast and Edward.

Who is Justin Brazeau? 6'5" 245lbs and 43 pts in 67 games in Providence.
How does he go undrafted after 75 and 113 pts in the OHL? was he over ager or something?

Dom, asking out of pure curiosity but for someone like yourself who has his finger on the pulse of the game, how did you go about speaking to his father and uncle? Do you contact his agent for an example? And if so, how the hell do you get his agents number? Simply through the connections you have?

Always interested to hear about how things like this work behind the scenes, thanks

They both follow me on Twitter. They let me know of I say something they like, but in particular if I say something they don't like.

Mantykivi is in an elimination game in 12 minutes.

As for agents, I meet them in a rink somewhere.

Skating is why he wasn't drafted
Skating is why he's been on a AHL contract thus far
Good lower league player though

@DominicT

You mentioned he has an NHL clause.

Does that have to be a 1 way or can it be a 2 way?

It has to be an ELC, and they are always two-way.

 

[Guelph Bruin]

In today's lingo according to my daughter a two-way contract identifies as a two-spirited contract or maybe it's contract fluid ...I get confused

Edward and London tune up Kitchener 5-1
Zeros across the board for our guy

Mast plays tonight

Mantykivi's team lost , season is over ,now we wait...

Mantykivi has one more game for the bronze against IFK Helsinki. Not until April 20

 

[JRull86]

Was there any inkling he was signing? I figured he'd do another year in the OHL.

He can only sign an ATO and he has to go back to the OHL next year. He's allowed to play because his season in Guelph is over.
