Who knows, maybe someday Bergeron will be the one that extends this kid's contract
honestly since they know each other I can easily see Bergy being his billet like LaPointe was to Bergy.
Bergeron has always said without that he never have had the success he’s had.

Really like this pick for the Bruins. Biggest upside of the guys you all selected.

Righteous bucks!
Reading the minuses in the kids prospect report. I think those negatives can be ironed out by a good staff.

He learned that from watching a certain center who may or may not wear a letter here in Boston
I think he will. Just a gut feeling.

Plus if he turns out to be a good player then we can roast Montreal for passing him over 8 times.

I didn't know he existed until the Bruins drafted him. Seen the size of the paws on the kid, like his smile, heard his father was a figure skater... decided, he's My Guy now. Freddy B. is the man for me.

Brunet is a great pick up by the Bruins and exposes a flaw in a lot of scouting lists. When a player is a year older teams have a tendency to overthink it and only draft a kid like that in the sixth or seventh round. Boston taking him early fifth would be considered a reach because of his age and nothing else. If he ends up a star it might make scouts change their methods of being so against drafting a kid who just needed an extra year to figure it out. The skill is what you scout not the age.

Since 1972, 50 players were selected 132nd overall – including Brunet. Five were goaltenders, 19 were defencemen. Of the 44 skaters selected, only 8 went on to play 100 or more NHL games and just three of them, Ron Wilson (1975) 177 games; Kyle Quincy (2003) 586 games; and Tim Heed (2010) 105 games – were defencemen. Just 9 more played in 1-99 games. The remaining 27 didn’t appear in any NHL games.
While I won’t give you an NHL comparable – that’s unfair right? – I will look at players that have played at this level and have some similarities. Those similarities may be everything from size, production, draft position and league.
