Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXV

I agree that they should take the best player available.

Captain Obvious says get as much talent as you can on the wing, especially in free agency. There's always plenty of talent out there in that regard. It's the easiest way to improve your club.

Select a center at some point whom you can groom and develop in your own system.

Has Mark Divber recently pointed out, rather than have someone, say, go through the system in Buffalo, which is not exactly a winning culture, and then try to convert them to the Bruins Way, draft your own and go homegrown.

That is certainly the case with centers, at least in my mind.

Yeah, pretty bad track record of forwards as reclamation projects out of the Buffalo system 😐

What perturbs me was seeing how pure and raw Pasta was upon entry. Kid could barely keep on his skates for more than half a shift, but you knew the speed, drive, and stick was there. We haven’t seen that much of a leash since then save for Poitras, which was pushed along by the OHL/pro factor. He obviously is small, but the skill and intelligence was known immediately, and not through 4 years of minors and AHL slogging. Sometimes I wish there was a little more trial by fire and not necessarily trust, but lack of a need for 100% defensive responsibility for younger players. Lindholm makes 7.75 and effs up,why do you need to hold them to a higher standard? Seems like Lysell and Merk have a similar offensive nature, but we’ve made them change so much about them to fit into our system, rather than accepting the player for who they are, and trying to imprint some two-way qualities on them during development.

Think we're seeing a lot of it in Loheri.

Letourneau at #3 seems like a stretch. No goals at the NCAA level. Seems like a bust or a 4th line center at best. Sure hope I am incorrect, because maybe guys with his size need more time to grow into their bodies?

He has the highest upside, that's part of the formula
He's 6'7 and still has baby fat,he'll get an extra long runway

I agree with moving Swayman but you need a good backup, not Bussi or DiPietro, and a team willing to eat Swaymans contract. If people thought the return on Ullmark was bad wait to see what Swayman would bring after the season he is having. Last three games he has quit on the team and looks like an ECHL goalie.
