And did I not warn you guys Letourneau was in for a rough Freshman year
But ultimately I believe he'll be fine,he's got too much talent,upside is still there

Question is , is he better off learning with the limited minutes he plays at BC rather than playing at the lower levels and developing against lesser talents.

Next season will be the big tell

It's been mentioned many times before, and I'm sure all teams fans do it, but the B's prospects are overhyped but this board.
Been on the board too long, since the Rivals (?) days. There are so many names of prospects that were hyped and most made 0 impact. I used List of Boston Bruins draft picks - Wikipedia as a reference. Cam Mann, Kyle Wanvig, Lee Goren, Lars Jonsson, Martin Samuelsson, Ivan Huml, Sergei Zinovjev (He's still coming over right ?) , Hannu Tiovonen, The 3 K kids (but Krejci was the real deal), jared Knight, Peter Cehlarik, Anders Bjork, Jakob Karlsson, Jesse Gabrielle and Jack Studnicka are the ones I remember most that got a lot of ink/hype and sadly did not pan out. I thinking Lysell and Poitras are next on the list. They are both still young but the B's seem to prefer to call up plugs , drafted around the same time as these two rather than these guys.
Swayman , drafted 2017, is the last true impact player the B's have drafted. Lohrei may get there but that is weak drafting. I have given Sweeney the benefit of the doubt, giving him a pass because the B's never had low draft position, but I think poor drafting has really caught up to this team.

I'm sure he's at least happy to be in the room and getting into a college workout regiment. That's a positive I think?

I don't know. I have liked Marc from the beginning and they have jerked him around a bit, a baffling pattern per genuinely possible high end talent like Lysell, Merkulov and, to a lesser degree, Mathew.

What, exactly, are they waiting for?

This is the perfect time, in a very imperfect season, to see what they have in these prospects, one way or another.

It's a top tier program with some older guys to compete with and learn from. My guess is he's better off with that coaching and those facilities than riding around on a bus in the USHL playing against other teenagers.

Only if he has a strong belief in himself and a good close support system which I think he has both as i remember a few interviews with him and by his parents...strong sane people .....otherwise I've seen the first big failure in life lead to a spiral of not meeting potential. There's pros and cons to each path he could have taken. The other might have been better but we'll never know, he just needs to survive this one while maintaing that "I can do it" shine

Hey now. Gabriel had a wicked good season in Australia in 2019:
