BUFFALO – Matt Filipe interviewed with Bruins general manager Don Sweeney on Thursday as part of the NHL Combine. He is roommates with Boston University’s Charlie McAvoy, one of the first defensemen expected to be picked later this month.

Filipe is right in the middle of the buildup toward the 2016 NHL Draft. The Lynnfield native is not taking the process for granted.

He was on my baseball team in middle school. Crazy.

Right now I don't see a potential top pairing defenseman in the Boston Bruins organization or system. That includes the current line-up. Does anyone see a current or future top pairing defensman anywhere in the system or prospects?

Nope and that's why I think we should trade for one. I'd see if Anaheim would take the SJ pick + Marchand or Vatrano (my preference is Marchand) for Lindholm. Move Chara to 2nd pairing.

Very little difference at all between Chychrun and Fabbro right now. Both have top pairing defenseman potential with Sergachev really getting some attention with his potential.

Honestly, the cost to move up is not worth it.

Get one of the top four and enjoy watching them develop. Jake Bean was the only one I haven't seen enough to comment on and would be hesitant to use the #14 on. I'd be more inclined to grab Johansen with the #29-30 pick and go with Jost at 14 if they were stupid enough not to grab one of these four.

The difference is left shot vs right shot. We're good on the right and weak on the left. Also, we don't have the time for them to develop. Bergeron and Krejci are reaching the end.

Dude no we are not. I've tried responding to you before regarding this and you ignore it every single time. This team is far better off on the left side of the D than the right. You're absolutely out of your freaking mind if you think our RHDs are stronger than our collective LHDs. In freaking sane.

Yeah I'm with you, just to expand...

Left:
Chara, Krug, Seidenberg, Zboril, Lauzon, Grzelcyk, O'Gara, Morrow, Sherman, Arnesson

Right:
McQuaid, C Miller, K Miller, Carlo, Benning, Trotman

This team desperately needs RHD.

I don't think there's any question the left side is better than the right. Both in the NHL and throughout the organization. Really not close IMO.
