Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXIV

[Kegs]

Kinda hard to argue with all those rankings articles where the Bruins are generally 28+

I never tried to. How can the bruins have a stocked prospect shelf. Good teams generally do not have good prospect pools. Especially a team that’s been competitive and trading away picks for so long.

Thanks for sharing and I agree this pick was a swing for the fences.

I guess that means zero prospects will be attending this tournament. I miss Locmelis already :p

Another year of watching no prospects, kinda sad.

I’d rather watch the bruins in the playoffs for 20 years than watch 3 prospects compete at the world jrs.

Kind of a false dichotomy there.

One of the main reasons they were able to make the playoffs for 20 years was they had prospects that were high end and competed in the world jrs-

Bergeron
Krejci
Rask
Marchand
McAvoy
Pasta
just to name the most important ones.

I think the fact that they haven't had a lot of guys lately says something about the near future prospects of the team.

How easily people just cast Dans Locmelis aside smh

And Poitras. And lysell.

Such a perfect move sending Poitras to the AHL. This is going to be so good for him. He can grow his offensive game without worrying about mistakes. Does not need to rely on his biggest strength, which is playmaking, and instead can be a goal scorer.

We may see him again for the playoffs.

Agreed and a refreshing move, too often teams push younger players into action before they are ready. Now, Poitras did very well with his short introduction last year but with the injury/surgery, he looked to be a bit behind which is to be expected.

Factor in he didn`t/doesn`t have to clear waivers and to send him down, work on his development and let him marinate, IMO, will pay off in spades down the road. I suspect we`ll see him again this year but lots of kids would have taken that demotion and sulked, sure doesn`t seem that`s part of Poitras character and he`s producing in Providence.

How easily people just cast Dans Locmelis aside smh

they do this with many prospects, the fans that really make me shake my head are the one`s who do so having never seen the kid play

I can`t say much about Locmelis as the only times I have really seen him play has been when he`s represented Latvia where he has done very well and I`ve liked his game, no clue what or if this translates down the road in the NHL or with the B`s but..

 

[ODAAT]

I think I`m putting this in the thread most closely tied to it. Nfld is getting a shot at a Junior team, this time it`s Acadie-Bathurst losing it`s team and relocating to Nfld, other teams have made a go of it but not with pockets as deep as this group

He played against Shattuck St Mary's team that the writer (Colin Johnson) is talking about and did well against them.

I found the game sheets for two of them, one win and one loss. His stats were 5 goals one assist. They lost 2 other games but no stats are available.

Is it true that 31 of 32 teams have a prospect at the tournament

True . It is great to have players in this tournament . However many quality NHLer's never played in this tournament

 

[yazmybaby]

I’d rather watch the bruins in the playoffs for 20 years than watch 3 prospects compete at the world jrs.

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.

No top prospects for 20 years, means 20 years of 1 or 2 (if lucky) round exits in the playoffs. Do they make a banner for that?

After watching Lysell in the tournament 2 years ago, I can live without anyone in the tourney. That was not in any way a positive experience for anyone (including fans)

Besides Pelosi, name a Bruin Prospect, who you think would qualify?

They've aged out for this tournament.

At least next year you could have Letourneau and Johansson. Maybe even Groenewold.

I know that was my point, I just wanted him to realize that!
