Another in a long line of smart signings. Kuntar impresses.
To me, the college route is Sweeny's strong suit.
Credit where due.

I have not seen much, a couple of periods here and there, but between that and the reports, I am not impressed... Ceiling is probably Ahl/fourth line material with size. I am sure Sweeney had a part in it, but from what I read here, Neely is the one who is tight with the BC people.
Based on this thread it appears Colorado is having little issue with a similar elite roster. Bruins generally do well with these future depth players, maybe there will be one or two in the end.
So far Colorado hasn't signed a single player to an NHL contract. They have signed 3 guys 24 or older players to AHL contracts. Sandelin is hte best of the bunch and he got a 2 year AHL contract
Would that make people happier, if we signed up bunch of 24-26 year old guys to fill up Providence's roster for next year without being Bruin prospects?
So far NHL teams have signed 28 players to NHL contracts since the end of the college season, and that includes draftees like Kuntar.

America’s last Howard Johnson’s restaurant closes, lists for $10
It’s official: There are no longer any HoJo eateries left in the US.

I don't think Colorado has the bottom 6 or bottom pairing depth like the Bruins have.
I wouldn't know. I just think from what little I do know, but they do a good job of plumbing the depths of college town. Drafted or undrafted. So I am impressed with that.
Just a caution but more often than not these undrafted guys are older and don't pan out. Ben Meyers hasn't lit it up and he was big prize last year. But there are many more who just aren't quite good enough.

They have Found Acciari, and plucked Kuraly from Sharks, out of college etc....they do.
Torey Krug.
Undrafted.
What's great is that we have, at least, four strong hockey programs right here in MA, and with what I imagine is a capable college scouting squad throughout the U.S., gems are uncovered.
It's a very intelligent, resourceful and cost effective approach to building a prospect pool in a cap constrained league.
Full marks to Sweeney & Co.

Personally, I'm only going to get upset about not signing Graf or McAllister, maybe TJ Hughes or Austen Swankler too, who aren't even guarantees to leave school. Give me the younger options with more development runway who were able to quickly adjust to the college game. Basically, get me this year's Merkulov.
I'm with you. I will be disappointed if they do not get 1 high value guy signed, ideally it would have been 2, but I'll be happy with 1. None of the 24/25 year olds had my interest.
