Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: May 14, 2023

Another Monday Morning Prospect Update beginning with a signing. This week it was Mason Lohrei who inked a two-year entry-level contract with the Bruins. The contract comes with an NHL base salary …

Frederic Brunet was the runner-up for the Emile Bouchard Trophy given to the Defenceman of the Year in the QMJHL. Tristan Luneau (Anaheim Ducks – 2nd round, 2022) took home the honors. I truly believe had Brunet spent the entire season with Victoriaville, he would have taken home the award.

It appears the Bruins are going to let Mantykivi walk.

I reached out to Matias and he didn't want to discuss it. Then, this morning I got a message from a family member asking if I knew whether the Bruins are going to let his rights expire. My response (in my head) was if you don't know by now, then how would I know. And if you haven't heard on May 16 when his rights expire in 15 days....

I'm not saying the kid is going to be a superstar but he has done everything that was asked of him and I think he's earned an opportunity. And with all the traded assets, they could use him and give him a shot.

I don't understand why they wouldn't sign him and give him an opportunity. I agree with you Dom.

Still hoping they do.

I dont understand why if they have have the last roster spot before the new year kicks over. unless they are working out an ELC with Toporoski (sp?)

That's not an issue. The contract would be for 2023-2024. They have plenty of spots.

Could be trying to work out the transfer fees. But I can't confirm that at this point.

Poitras has amazing vision. Patient with the puck/tight puck handling in traffic

Anticipating the day he makes the parent club. Should be a tremendous asset on the PP.

As a OHL Ranger/Bruin fan we see Poitras play quite a bit. Highway 7 rivalry between the Storm and Rangers. Only 7 miles between cities. He is not a big physical kid but he finds his way through the crowd and makes intelligent moves on both sides of the puck. Hate to compare but he is a Marner type player. There are some huge players in the OHL and Poitras plays without fear of going to the dirty areas with or without the puck.

Digging this assessment. Even if he ends up a poor man Marner, that would be considered a nice find with a late 2nd pick.

My greedy side hopes... Poitras is a little more scrappier than Marner though

Sweet one timers. How was Merkulov defensive play this season? Does he have a chance to make the parent team next season?

He's got a little flare at the end of his one timers. I think Alexi Zhamnov had the same little twist at the end of his one timers.

So, one publication released it's prospect rankings today. When talking about the top-5 European prospects, guess who got an honorable mention.

Maybe I am reading it all wrong, but it seems that the PBruins operate under a divided mind- is it a place to park veteran depth for emergencies, or a place to develop young talent to become future BBruins? It's hard to tell sometimes, and the coach they have doesn't seem to know what his job is (or maybe he does?): is it to develop young players and so give them icetime and opportunites even if they are not playing well so they learn, or is it to win?
