Can’t get over the Chabot, Connor, Barzal thing. The Bruins cost themselves at least 1 Cup there. Damn shame
That explains a lot...Funny... heard Neely and Sweeney still go to Sinden for advice. (seriously, though...)
Craig Duncanson and Dan Gratton 1985 (9th and 10th).I know is like kicking on someone who is laying down, but...
Selecting DeBrusk, Zboril, Senyschyn as top 15 selections looks even worse now than on draftday.
Could been all time worst, but I remember vaugly LA swlected two busts in top 10 -85 ish.
Boeser in there tooCan’t get over the Chabot, Connor, Barzal thing. The Bruins cost themselves at least 1 Cup there. Damn shame
Is Senyshyn any good? I’ve never seen him play but his stats look horrible.
No, he’s awful. Some think he can be a 4th line Dan Paille type despite the fact that he has zero grit or physicality to his game. If he was drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round he’d be in Europe already. They rolled the dice( twice) on a project at a draft spot and in a draft where it was completely unnecessary and are paying the price, it already cost them one Cup.
How do they not hit on one of them….it’s like a blind squirrel even finds a nut from time to time. 3 consecutive picks and Conner, barzal and chabot get picked right after, they went from possibly looking like genius’s with the 3 consecutive picks to absolute morons.Can’t get over the Chabot, Connor, Barzal thing.

Did they actually scout the guy???
I thibk they did the old "doesnt had the deep book on players after their two top guys they drafted", and just drafted their next giy on the list, despite being thought of in 2nd round.
He was seen as a good 5 vs 5 scorer if I remember it right?
Just reLly stupid, they could just take a grab at K Connor, knewing they would have at least a A prospect. But... no
It’s strange, it’s not like they have drafted terribly compared to the rest of the league, they have had some pretty decent hits on guys outside the 1st round in the last decade ( Gryz, Carlo, Lauzon, Lindgren, Bjork, Heinen, Donato-flipped for Coyle) and hit 2 home runs with Pasta and Mcavoy. Just mind boggling how on the 3 most important picks of the last decade and a complete whiff. ZS in coming up on 7 years post draft and hasn’t shown any semblance of NHL ability, but he will find a spot on a bottom feeder looking to fill it’s lineup and hope his former draft position is an indicator of his talent.
They also lost Hamilton as part of that draft
I seem to remember there was a lot of talk about them packaging these picks to move up for someone they really wanted, but late in the draft that trade never panned out. It kind of seems like they spent more time scouting who they thought they were trading up for and never thought they'd have to make these picks. I remember them talking about the trade falling through, but the rest is just speculation though. Might explain some of it.It’s strange, it’s not like they have drafted terribly compared to the rest of the league, they have had some pretty decent hits on guys outside the 1st round in the last decade ( Gryz, Carlo, Lauzon, Lindgren, Bjork, Heinen, Donato-flipped for Coyle) and hit 2 home runs with Pasta and Mcavoy.

Yea, there's a news article/interview with Neely that confirms that.I seem to remember there was a lot of talk about them packaging these picks to move up for someone they really wanted, but late in the draft that trade never panned out.

Barzal should have gone top 5 from my mock draft and connor and chabot arguably top 10.
I can't believe that this point has never been brought up before. You would think that somebody here would have mentioned it before especially fans of other teams. Bravo - excellent research.

Not to argue but Zboril was actually rated ahead of Chabot and was the highest Defenseman still available at pick #13.

I'll Google it later if you can't find it.
Basically caught with his pants down in his first draft.
Can't officially confirm this part, but it's widely believed Hanifin/Carolina was the trade that fell through. Funny they probably had their eyes on one of the 3 guys they picked and didn't want to risk losing one of the guys that 2/3 have asked out.
Edit: here's the article Neely gives honest take on disastrous 2015 draft for Bruins
