Why? Because the Bruins are desperate for another center right?
Saad, I can see the B's having strong interest in. Same with Murphy.

Obviously it is going to depend on what their options are. The season is still a long way from over and the Leafs pick could rise or fall.
I see them waiting until after the lottery and if that pick ends up in the top 4 they will draft the best available player, if it is below that I think they will either talk to teams about moving up in the draft or draft Murphy.
Let's not forget that the Leafs pick could be #7 and they could win the lottery and pick as high as #2 or the pick could be #4 and a lower seeded team could win the lottery and that pick could go to #5, so even when the standings are final, there is still a chance that pick could move up or down.

Whoever it is, Bruins fans will make him out to be the next Gretzky/Orr
And a lot of Leaf fans will make him out to be Brett Gretzky or Colton Orr.
I just checked the standings and if the draft order would be set as of today the bruins would be picking #5. Don't forget that the Leafs have been playing pretty well recently and are 5-4-1 over their last ten games. So this may be a trend that they are playing better or they may fall back to reality and lose six of their next ten games. Plus come the deadline the Leafs should be sellers and they will deplete their roster some more by doing that. That would make them a worse team as well.
So in reality the Bruins have a realistic chance of having a top four pick in this years draft.

I agree 100%, they got their guy last year and have Bergeron and Krejci.. You still can't pass up BPA when it's likely he can play the wing. Although, is that really helping Seguin?
*Is he back to playing centre yet? If I can recall he was the 4th line C against Toronto a few weeks ago.
You think Brian Burke's gonna be a seller? Can you describe that please?
He has MacArthur who will be locked up ASAP, no chance of a trade. Grabovski is playing his best hockey and will be key if he wants any chance at success next year, Kessel is his golden boy, Versteeg was just traded for and god forbid Burke not being respectful, Komisarek would help this team if he was moved, Phaneuf is our captain, Beauchemin would help this team if he was moved, etc.
It's likely he trades Kulemin despite me not wanting it at all, Burke didn't draft him and he's probably the 3rd best player on his line, Kaberle won't waive regardless of what people claim.
Our bottom 6 could be replaced with AHL players outside of Versteeg and Armstrong and have the same if not more success.
Toronto is not in any position to be a seller, in fact they couldn't even be a buyer.
just wondering why this isn't on the bruins board if all you care about is the bruins? seems like you could be inviting quite a bit of conflict by asking a question like this in the prospects board.
i love when people apologize for something, then do it immediately again. its like saying "no offense, but you smell really bad" saying no offense doesn't make it ok. you just generalized right there bud. why apologize if you're going to do it again?

IMO Bruins will draft BPA. They have a ton of options with how many picks and good prospects they have so moving up isn't out of the question. They also have a nice chunk coming off the books next year so they have some money to make a signing for whatever hole they don't fill via the draft.

If some fans could be adults and not get all upset every time someone mentions this draft pick this wouldn't be an issue. He asked a general question which any fan of any fanbase could make an educated guess at.
People just need the get over this pick.

Do you not have the good sense to realize that you look like a fool mocking a fanbase whose team has made your organization its b!tch?

yeah dont you realize you arent allowed to discuss your draft pick possibilities in the prospects forum if it might possibly upset a Leaf fan?
how dare you....

man i have no problem with rational civilized discussion about any prospect from any team. thats totally fine, and yes, this is a perfectly valid thread to post on this board based on the criteria of the prospects board. thats not the point. the point is that people on this site are often not willing to engage in civilized rational debates, rather they turn to flame wars and trolling. this kind of thread could be avoided by putting it in the bruins forum, where it would also fit nicely.
knowing hfboards, its naive to think that a post like this could end in civilized discussion

In all fairness some of Toronto's best trolls know no boarders when it comes to where people post things. Even if this was on the Bruins board the regulars would be filing out of the wood work to come and try and push B's fans buttons on their own board.
It's a sad reality around here. The OP wants more than just Bruins fans point of views so people are just going to have to try their best to behave.

Just gotta face the fact that it will be and that you wont be getting it back
Last year I would've cried foul and insisted that it wasn't going to happen, this year I'll just say that while it looks likely, it is no fact. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

But they aren't locks to finish worse, either. 2 way street. Leafs always go on a run late in the year, we hear that from other fans every year so therefor it is unlikely to be a top 5 pick.

Ironic coming from a Leaf fan
The most delicious irony is that all this peacocking stems from online internet forum board posters, that can carry on hypothetical arguments for eternity
BOS fans will hype the pick
TOR fans will downvote the pick
The rest will throw jabs in to stir the pot
What would the world look like without it?

Very good possibility as I see the Leafs climbing up in the standings and I can see Huberdeau rising in the rankings.With Bruins possibly picking anywhere 5-10 he would be a likely choice unless they fall in love with Hamilton or Murphy.
Another player who I could see the Bruins having great interest in is Tyler Biggs,perhaps a Cam Neely clone.
