Half a defense, a decent scoring wing and a goalie all out of one draft is A+ in a vacuum
The problem is that there will soon be only two of the left

The worst part is that Bruins reached for players in that draft. EVERYONE had Barzel and Connors next up on the board. If they just did what all the evaluators had this franchise would be in a much different spot.
TSN brought it up tonight yet again.
This column by Shaughnessy unnerved Charlie who had just taken over from his father a few months earlier and Neely fired Chiarelli 2 days later. The problem is they had NO plan in place. Sweeney wasn't who Cam wanted as he left him twisting for a full month before he was given the job.
Personally, I think Chiarelli knew he was gone as he sold his Cambridge home in 2014.
I see things today that boggle my mind. The Bruins haven't even put out a media guide this year as the woman who did it for decades retired and it's not a priority for management. The Bruins haven't made a stink about NESN not sending people on the road while most teams have.
BUT they made sure ABC knew the Black Friday game was the 500th consecutive sold-out game ( currently the longest streak in the NHL )
Sweeney is not the core problem - it is Cameron and Charlie. They have lost many good people in the trenches to other teams as they lowball these people.
I don't obsess about 2015 anymore but I am very fearful about the future.
That's one of many problems.The problem is that there will soon be only two of the left
Any chance another organization would hire Cam Neely as their team president?
Dallas drafted Julius Honka with the 14th pick in 2014. Dylan Larkin was the 15th pick.
Probably cost them a cup.
Fun fact: If Larkin was off the board Detroit would have selected Pastrnak. Friedman said on his podcast a few years back that Detroit was debating between the two of them.Could have for sure.

OT: The 2005 draft always makes me laugh. The pick before or within a few picks after and it would've been very different. Funny because a lot of us were excited about their draft. It was a weak draft, but they just missed out on half the good players taken in that draft. It never killed them, like '15 won't, but it is interesting to think about how different this team could've been.
Lashoff 22 - Oshie 24, Cogliano 25, Niskanen 28, Downie 29 (Rask was 21)
Kalus 39 - Pavelec 41, Abdelkader 42, Paul Statsny 44, Latendresse 45
Lehtonen 83 - Mark Fraser 84, Ben Bishop 85
Jon Sigalet 100 - Jared Boll 101
Sobotka 106 (decent) - Pyatt 107, Hjalmarson 108 (Yandle was 105)
Wacey Rabbit 154 - Mark Fayne 155, Ryan Reaves 156
Vantuch 172 - no one right after D'Agostino went at 190
Brock Bradford 217 - Hornqvist was the last pick at 230. (Stralman was 216)
It happens. Teams screw up.
While I completely agree. I think the main issue a lot of people have with 2015 is the fact that it was expected to be a franchise altering draft class and with the core of this group aging, it was a great opportunity to add a few more years to the current window as well as set the team up moving forward once this core has moved on.
Instead, we're left wondering if our window is already closed and who besides Pastrnak, Swayman, McAvoy will lead this team in the future when Bergeron, Marchand, retire. We already see how difficult it is with Krejci gone. Now imagine adding Bergeron to that list.
People strikeout in baseball all the time. But when it's 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, and you're down by a run, they tend to hurt more.
2015 honestly wouldn’t be so bad if the Bruins didn’t have three picks in a row.
people don’t seem to get that part of it.

And the fact that they accumulated these picks for a GM that is a month into his first GM job.2015 honestly wouldn’t be so bad if the Bruins didn’t have three picks in a row.

Or when there’s zero outs and you strike out three times in a row.While I completely agree.

Add Barzal, Connor, Chabot and Dave Lewis could have coached this potential Bruins team to a dynasty.Cost the Bruins a cup, but it’s over, can’t even drum up the emotion to think about it anymore

Yeah. Whenever someone posts a cope like "23 OTHER TEAMS PASSED ON PASTRNAK THE YEAR BEFORE" or something like that, it annoys me because it's not even close to the same.
Good point. But Dallas didn't have the 12th 13th and 14th picks to pick Larkin. I understand a reach, but when you have the chance to hedge your reach with an all star talent with the next pick, that's idiotic.Dallas drafted Julius Honka with the 14th pick in 2014. Dylan Larkin was the 15th pick.
Probably cost them a cup.
