Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXIV

[Dr Quincy]

They don't pick high and largely stick with US/CAN players. They have a few swedes, but are mostly late round picks. Letourneau being their latest high pick will probably at best be a camp invite. Maybe in his 20 year old season.

True but there were US and Swedes picked in the 2nd round or later in this draft that made their teams. Stiga, Burnevik and Eriksson off the top of my head. Now just because those guys are further along than Letourneau right now doesn't mean they always will be.

I remember the arguments that the BRUINS should have drafted Kreider over JDB. I'm guessing at this point that JDB's value is higher than Kreider's.

Well he was drafted six years before JDB. So would have been a hell of a pick I agree.

I want both, a team that makes the playoffs and has prospects at the world juniors ( like T bay , Dallas, ). Is that too much to ask?
We are the only team in the league without a player to watch.

both of the teams you mentioned have a whopping 2 players each represented at the WJHC`s, not like they are sending 5/6 like some teams

I think what Canada often does wrong is overload it`s roster with first round picks, feels almost lazy , the attitude too often seems/appears to be that the more 1st rounders you have, the better you`ll be. I think this year they have 11 but could be wrong there.

I think they often forget that the depth guys who may not be first rounders can be equally as valuable

I'm sure they get pressured by the NHL clubs as well. Like I'm sure the Bruins wanted to make sure that if they released Poitras last year, he'd be an important player for them.
