Another young D to the prospect core:

Zboril
Lauzon
Lindgren
Vaakanainen

Carlo+McAvoy already on the team.
Krug only 26y.

They hit only with one of those 4 and the top-6 looks good for years. At one point, the Bruins will be in prime opportunity to do a Jones-Johansen type of deal.

Hate the pick based solely on the basis his last name is too expensive to put on a jersey:)

Welcome to Boston kiddo

Try saying his name five times fast while drunk.....I'm having rouble saying it just once!

Seriously though, with Zboril and other young guys behind him still up in the air, as far as surefire NHL caliber careers go, I guess it doesn't hurt to add more ammo to the clip, so to speak. As I said in the draft thread, I would've thought the forwards corps was in need of a bit more depth, but what do I know.

Maybe this fella will surprise us all and become what everyone was hoping Colin Miller would become.

Wasted pick, 50th by red line report. Skater with little offensive upside. Terrible. Not physical, no offense. Just drafted John Michel Liiles.

Sweeney needs to go.

Add him to the over hyped prospects and we will be lucky if he plays 80 games for Bruins.
