Little disappointed so far but Collin Graf is still out there as a standout. He’s also from Mass so there is that connection.

Hardy Aktell is also very interesting out of the SHL

Gotta get this Graf kid. Mass kid, natural center, 6'0 tall, right shot, huge upward trajectory, 20 years old and had 59 points in 41 games for the national champions. Graf can join the hometown team and fill a huge need and potentially be on the team in 1-2 years.

Not sure when they implemented it but it's been a while, Bruins got a pick when they didn't sign Ashton Rome in like 2006, I think it's only first rounders now
Thank you, I wonder why this don't happen more often. Maybe this will be the Bruins big add

He would be a huge signing, and if they did nothing else that would make it a very successful FA period, and I don't think they would do nothing else

Graf or O'Brien. Graf would be a big add. O'Brien is the type of guy you are ok with as a 3rd best signing type. Certainly not a big add.

To me Jay O'Brien is a nothing signing. Matt Brown on the other hand? Speed and skill. Not sure where he is expected to sign.

If they're going to sign a former high pick who's not signing with their draft team, I'd rather take a chance on Mastrosimone than O'Brien

I really wanted McAllister, but Graf would be a solid addition, after that either Brown or Nelson. Something tells me Donny is looking at Graf and then one of the other two.
