NHL Draft lottery III -May 5th- Bruins locked into 5th before ping pong balls.

[McBrom7]

Less than a week away. My 5th it is!

Finally have a date. I wonder why they wait so long to schedule the date?

Their just building the drama for when the Bruins win the lottery

I had a dream we won the draft lottery. Last time I had a dream we won the draft lottery was 2005 where we didn't win the draft lottery and ended up with Matt Lashoff, so...

Two kids that I am following in the U18 tourney that are impressing me that I would love us to draft are Ben Kindall and LJ Mooney.
Both should be around in round 2 may fall to early round 3.

Like Frondell, in fact like him better than Misa. However, to me he definitely projects as a winger. He reminds me of Sundin or even more a better skating Laine.

I see a Josh Norris

hmmm, maybe I see it, but Frondell has a higher level shot and has better tools.

I think his ceiling is much higher.

Brady Martin of the Soo Greyhounds is another interesting prospect in the upcoming draft. A center. Righthanded shot. He had 72 points this season. 68 PIMs. He is one of those players that gets under opposing players skins. 6'0". 175 pounds.

Saw this tidbit on Facebook just now. A reminder of how the draft can go, one way or the other:

Also interesting to look at the rest of the 1979 draft class. Pretty good pickin’. Glad we didn’t end up with Brown.

Cinco de Mayo celebration. Big event in Los Angeles. Wanted to be sure draft wasn’t stepping on anyone’s huaraches.

For a team with such a great track record of 2nd and 3rd rounders, god we f***ing blow in the 1st round.


Hopefully between number 1-6 we will walk away with at least a potential 1st line center (Misa, Frondell, Hagens) or a 2nd line center (Desnoyers, OBrien). If we get 7, hopefully someone above us takes Martone.

If bruins get Schaefer, misa or hagens we should all learn how to do back flips just to celebrate.

For me you can throw frondell in the mix as well

I’d love to add frondell, Desnoyers, obrien, Eklund and martone as well. But I’m not going to take up gymnastics because of it.

Hagens, misa and Schaefer are on a whole other level imo.

 

[DKH]

I can live with 7 but I don’t want to

I want options

5 would be nice

It's weird to me that Brian Propp is from that same draft class. In my head he come along much later. But, maybe its just because I discovered him from Upper Deck cards.

NFl draft is over so I shifted back over to NHL. Did my Lottery SIMs this morning and Bruins got 1 and 2 back to back. Is it May 5th yet?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I got a feeling it's Misa or Frondell coming to the B's

Two kids that I am following in the U18 tourney that are impressing me that I would love us to draft are Ben Kindall and LJ Mooney.
Both should be around in round 2 may fall to early round 3.

I feel like Mooney will fall pretty significantly due to size concerns. Not sure this management group is ever going to take a player that small, but there's no question he's talented.

With Kindel, everything I've seen is mid or late 1st, so seems unlikely he'd fall into the 50s to use one of their 2nds on. Not sure how high up they could realistically move with both of their 2nds. Everything I've read is that people aren't high on the 2nd round talent this year.

I don't know where you been looking but all my pre-draft rankings has Kindel ranked from #18 to #25
As with Mooney he should be there at 51/55 maybe even at #69

1979 was 1 of the best drafts ever due to the fact that the minimum draft age was lowered.

May 5th Bruins will get the 5th pick and they will draft Desnoyers (I said it 3 times earlier it's already done) and since #5 is retired for Clapper he will wear 55 and in his rookie season he will be the team's 5th highest scorer.

5 is a good number.

 

[Jdavidev]

I don't like Frondell getting all this love lately! Makes it less likely he falls to 5 or 6. I've had him as my second favorite forward for a bit

Just hope we don't finish fifth.
