Captain Jack is the real deal. I could easily see him getting to play with the big club sooner rather than later. He is a beast.

You forgot Keyser in the ECHL who’s been out with an injury most of the year.

Beauty!
P bruins are looking dominant!!!!
Filled with young prospects. How is is possible the bruins were ranked so low in the prospect pool.

No real high end glitter
had they taken Kaliyev instead of Beecher or DeBrincat (oh wait he’d be in Boston on second line) over Frederic they’d be in the teens
you need a handful if that
can they get 3-5 legit players out of
Swayman
Vladar
Kesyser
Vaakanainen
Lauzon
Zboril
Frederic
Senyshyn
Studnicka
Lauko
Olsen
Hall
Kuhlman
Steen
Hughes
Beecher

I talk to a Western Conference pro scout who married a girl from my area and they settled here - he keeps close tabs on this area and we have some great conversations
never talked rank but have talked Boston’s prospects a lot since he covers them for another team
there are guys he doesn’t like that I like but others they are high on
Studnicka had their organization his first rookie tourney
overall - he says Boston is exceptionally well run and Sweeney has a huge advantage living in the area and able to see kids easily and forge deep relationships with college coaches, the area itself, the name Boston Bruins behind him, and he’s smart and his staff is outstanding.
but Studnicka was the guy they really liked as far back as September 2018 and he’s only got better
he also liked Lauzon which is looking wise as well - not sure he will be a top 3 but he’s a competitive and smart player. He thought he had that Bruins style

Writers don’t necessarily go to every hockey game and watch. So the rankings can easily be ranked on numbers. Bruins don’t really draft high end offensive for the most part. They excel on the back end and other intangibles (character, work ethic, willingness to learn) I’m not going to argue the way. It’s actually working. Most the bruins players are in house talent. That’s the best. Players the organization developed. They are cheaper and u get to groom them your way.

Maybe next year.
Second place in the division on the line today, head-to-head with Hartford. Hershey in town next week, with the possibility of first place on the line. Getting tight in the division and PBs really starting to come together. Already re-upped my ten game plan for next season so the first three rounds of the Calder Cup playoffs are free. Good chance they go that deep!

Are you saying that’s his 7th short handed goal this season? I mean I assume that’s what you’re saying but not a typo or anything?

From who I have seen this year Studnicka, Frederic and Lauzon will all have nice NHL careers. Vaak and Zboril could. I don't watch a lot of college hockey so haven't seen Swayman or Beecher but have heard only good things.
Studnicka is only top 6 talent that I see but Frederic will be a very good bottom 6 guy. I believe he was leading Providence in assists going into last night. Lauzon looks like Kevan Miller without as long a learning curve as Miller had.
There is good talent here and I agree with the mentality of take the as sure a thing as possible over a potential boom or bust pick

They like drafting captains and bright guys
Sweeney gets a lot of information out of his college coaching network and has an innate ability to be able to assess defenseman
they played 4 young defensemen yesterday and have 3 more in Providence who project as top 6 and Clifton was playing in Finals
they also traded Lindgren to the Rangers and he’s considered a future letter guy for them
someone knows how to identify defenseman
I mean, clearly he's not bumping any of the the top 3 in Boston so the only option I see is 2RW or 3 RW. If wing isn't an option , then what?

man, looks like this kid has all the tools to be playing a significant role for the big club down the road, every time I check in here it seems those who are watching live share about this element or that which he`s doing so well at, great to read

the only quibble about his game is he's sometimes a little sloppy with the puck. that's a
maturity thing. he looks like a legit 2 way 2nd line center. not nearly as big as kevin hayes but
he brings similar things to the table: ability to play all situations, add offense, add defense.
krejci's playoff will be interesting to watch because coyle can probably hold the 2C role until jack
steals it from him (which won't take too long i would imagine).
