100% on board with giving both Seny and Zboril a look next season. That's why I included them in my line-up. These guys both have to go through waivers this year. Let's not add insult to injury and watch them on another team. Neither will likely be stars but both have bottom pairing potential.

No reason not to give them a shot.

 

[Estlin]

The problem with regard to Zboril playing in Boston next season is Chara returning (which appears to be the case) and Moore still with the team. Add to them Lauzon and Grzelcyk. Something will have to give on the left side. For me, it’s all the more reason to move on from Chara. What will likely happen, though, is that Moore will be dealt and Zboril will be the seventh defenseman.

The bruins have done a pretty darn good job in later round draft picks so why risk/F up in 2015?

Sweeney, Neely and the scouting staff wanted to be the smartest guys in the room, and instead both at the time and 5 years later, they were the dumbest people in the room.

 

[The don godfather]

I keep saying getting carlo in the 2 nd round was pure brilliance by donny but he gets no credit for it. So many teams passed him some twice. Give the man a break.

Well I wish Senyshyn well battle Clifton and Lauzon on the right side . But I do think Senyshyn did well in his first stint up with Boston.

Yeah, pretty common for the new guys.

I'd like to think that there were some B's scouts who wanted Barzal, Connor, or Chabot. Assuming they scouted Zboril heavily, they would've seen Chabot as they were teammates.

He did but if management thought he was a top 6 guy they wouldn't have traded for Kase I would think. I see bottom 6 in him.

The team interviewed both Barzal and Connor, but I can't speak for Chabot. In fact, you can even see the team interviewing Connor in "Behind The B." Elliotte Friedman wrote the below about Barzal, and it has been heavily implied on here that the mystery team was the Bruins:

Barzal is a confident lad. There is a story about him that made me want to talk to him. It goes like this: During one of his draft interviews, a team asked him, “Why should we pick you?” Word is he answered something along the lines of, “Don’t, and we’ll see how it works out.” I think he was surprised that I knew it, because he laughed but didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to cause a problem.

 

[Over the volcano]

He did but if management thought he was a top 6 guy they wouldn't have traded for Kase I would think. I see bottom 6 in him.

Think management blundered bringing the first Ritchie in - just a total roadblock for the kid in the lineup spot they’ve been training him for.

 

[Midship]

Where would the Bruins have been in the cup final last year and this year with near PPG in regular season and playoffs Barzal? The most obvious pick at 13 and they somehow missed with f***ing 13-15. This franchise doesn't deserve a cup any time soon for the absurd incompetence displayed that draft day. Don't care how many times it has been said and no, I won't "get over it".

 

[Gordoff]

It is scary that they saw them both at the same time and picked Zboril... SCARY!

You know what they say about blind squirrels?
Just joking, he knows defensemen better than forwards and he's done well in that regard but the rest of his picks.....woof!

Seny is a forward so I'm not sure what your point is?

 

[Estlin]

I have wondered about that, too, but figure that Boston chose Zboril because of his supposed “snarl”.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Misread the quote. Thought it said “battling for a top-6 spot” (on defense). And a lame attempt at humor.

I think there is more than a 50/50 chance
Senyshyn is a complete bust.

I know u can't go strictly by stats but he has 1 assist
in 12 AHL PO games. Even in Jr he didn't light it up
in the PO, better than AHL but not impressive. Most importantly to many guys have moved past him in the last two years. Kuhlman, Studnicka and Frederic for certain and its looking like Steen and Lauko will also.

Zboril, you can give him a year in Boston and see what he has. D always develop later.

Also what turned them away from Barzal and Connor, did they interview that badly?

Don and Cam.

i remember so clearly the french tv animator s who was in total hapiness and cant stop laughing at bruins choices 15 seconds after ...they were perfectly in right to do it because it was one the most idiotic choices in all times

You maybe right, I'm not expecting to see a 1st liner but I am hoping he could maybe be an effective 4th liner. I give him a shot unless he shows really poorly in TC.

Same for Zboril see if he can handle a 3rd pairing roll, we could definitely use some snarl on D.
