Thank you both, @DKH and @Saxon Eric, your observations and insight are greatly appreciated! As are those of @BruinsNetwork and all others who've provided the same. Looking forward to my 15 games in Providence this season and the next few years look to have some fun players to see grow there.

 

[DKH]

I put Harrison on my top 10 even though he wasn’t dazzling like invitees like Ben Myers. Harrison turned 18 in June and Myers turns 23 in November.

Harrison looked pretty damn good for someone so young - at 23 I can see him a top 9 in the NHL.

The Bruins forwards overall

LW

Next 2 years it’s arguably with health the best in the NHL and I’m not including DeBrusk who appears is headed out to Arizona if they can figure out pick & prospect that accompany him

prospects wise we have 2 pretty good players who fit the blueprint of Boston Bruins
Lauko
Kuntar

Right Wing

it’s light but Lyell makes it promising and Studnicka offers an option

they do need to focus on this area in next years draft

Center

A lot depends on Dvorak but right now they have: Studnicka, Frederic, Hall, Harrison, Beecher

big 3 zone players

those who say they are a bunch of 5’9 dudes aren’t looking at their center depth

acquiring Dvorak makes this a solid at NHL level

Bergeron will soon be their 5’9 center I guess

I appreciate it as well as Eric who has helped shape many of my opinions pointing things out - except he can’t get me to budge on Vaakanainen

I just can’t get his Finland U18 performance out of my mind

Well…. That’s interesting.

Post Development Camp Top 10
1. Swayman
2. Lorhei
3. Lysell
4. Studnicka
5. Lauko
6. Beecher
7. Kuntar
8. Lyle
9. Hall
10. Langenbrunner

1-9 was fairly easy
10 was hard, I considered other's like Berglund but in the end Mason Langenbrunner has the highest upside
Frederic,Zboril Senyshyn I graduated
Vaakanainen didn't make the cut

SE what is your take on McFaul. IMO he played solid Buffalo prospects a few years back. Surprised he isn't getting much love.

I think he's a good prospect but on my list I can't put him ahead of anybody else, he looks the part and he did have a decent camp but he hasn't shown the upside as say Langenbrunner has, keep in mind he has 2 more years at Clarkson followed by possibly 2 in Providence, lots can change in 4 years, at this point he looks to be a bottom pairing guy that kills penalties and kills off games, nothing wrong with that

 

[BruinsNetwork]

Up to 2,300 words on my dev camp write ups and I’m only six players deep. I’ve yet to reach Lohrei, Lyle, Kuntar, Meyers, goalies or the 2021 draft class. Ugh.

What you’re saying is that you’ll be done shortly.

Camp starts in 6 weeks...

You gotta be optimistic on Brett Harrison. He was one of the youngest guys in the draft and the youngest guy at development camp. The last time he played in the OHL he was 16-and-a-half, playing against 20 year olds.

You take Mason McTavish, who is 6 months older and the stat lines are similar (they play each other a lot). McTavish, Harrison and Shane Write were the only rookies in the league to score 20 goals. Heck even a guy like Allan McShane who played with Harrison is notable. He was 3 years older and is a player I like a lot and Harrison had 2 fewer goals in 4 fewer games. McShane was a 4th rounder a few years ago.

So with Harrison they've got a total wildcard but if he can improve his skating, he could be a good one.

Tom Fergus comp, book it.

Not exactly. OHL teams are only allowed to dress 3 0veragers (20 year old players).

The average age in the OHL during the 2019-2020 season (Harrison's rookie season) was 18.7 years of age.

No idea who he is but his stats seemed pretty solid!

Not true, you can dress as many 20 year olds as you want after Jan 1, so long as their birthday is in the new year

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

1. Scanlin
2. Meyers
3. Ford
4. Mitchell
5. Malmstrom
HM McLaughlin

Scanlin going back to college?

 

[DominicT]

Not true, you can dress as many 20 year olds as you want after Jan 1, so long as their birthday is in the new year

True. Yet the average age says it wasn't should tell you it's not "against 20 year olds"

So, with camp and the draft in our rear view, is it safe to say the cupboard has been restocked?

We've now got a blue chip prospect at each position; Swayman, Lohrei, Lysell.

We've got some good, close to NHL-ready prospects: Studnicka, Lauko, Lyle, Vaak, Ahcan.

We've got some intriguing guys in Providence: Hall, Keyser, Greenway, Berglund, Froden, Steen...

And a whole other tier of college and junior guys: Beecher, Kuntar, Harrison, Mast (Olson, Schmaltz, Duran, Gasseau, McFaul....)

“Stocked” is relative. More stocked compared to before the draft?…sure, us and 31 other teams. Stocked compared to the rest of the league? That debate will continue.

I like the sound of some of these newer guys. Hope to catch a few in Buffalo.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Scanlin going back to college?

As far as I know

 

[BruinsBtn]

True. Yet the average age says it wasn't should tell you it's not "against 20 year olds"

That doesn't imply that everyone is 20. Which is obvious. Since the guy we're talking about was 16

 

[bruinmann77]

Did the bruins sign any of the tryouts

 

[Ratty]

Buffalo tournament less than three weeks away. Any hint as to the roster?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Nope

 

[Saxon Eric]

I'm expecting the Providence Bruins + Mast and Harrison
I'm hoping for some Providence players and many CHL invites
