Brandon Carlo, 2015 2nd round pick ( 37 overall, 6'5 200 pounds ) just scored his first NHL goal. The 19 year old now has 2 points in 3 games. He's been playing very well on the Bruins 1st pairing.

[SanDogBrewin]

Steal of a pick by the Bruins.

 

[PB37]

He's also a +7 in those three games, leading all defensemen so far.

 

[Dellstrom]

He has looked amazing. Only 19 years old! Averaging 21 minutes a game, I believe. Has not looked out of place at all on our top pairing.

 

[PB37]

" I'll have to be honest.... I kind of blacked out after scoring "

- Brandon Carlo

 

[Gator Mike]

Kid's been terrific. Huge body, terrific skater, and he's been pretty poised with the puck.

What are his comparables?

 

[PB37]

What are his comparables?

- Tall and lanky

- Great skater for his size

- Known more for his shutdown abilities, but has some untapped offensive potential

- Amazing poise for a 19 year old dman. No panic in his game

I think he'll be a solid top 4 guy, with his top end potential riding shotgun as a defensive rock who can move and skate with the puck on the 1st pairing

 

[KnightofBoston]

He's not lanky like Myers or O'Gara or even Dougie when he came in though. He's pretty filled out for his age which tells me he'all be a monster at age 25

 

[BB88]

What are his comparables?

Larsson?

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Larsson?

He seems more physical imo

 

[Coach Parker]

What are his comparables?

Trouba.

 

[Sheppy]

I was going to compare him to Parayko...

But But sweeney cannot draft and they blew the picks the last few years, (HFBoards typical mantra), plus 7 for the kid, damm impressive.

Never heard of anyone critisizing the Carlo pick? More or less everyone think the Bruins kill it "after" the 1st round in 2015.

 

[Revelation]

Oilers could have had him and Chatbot instead of Reinhart...

 

[WesMcCauley]

What are his comparables?

Trouba and Parayko

i watched all 3 of Boston's games so far and he looked amazing, goes to show you you can't judge every player based on their numbers alone.. he really is a stud.

DeBrusk and Senyshyn were not good picks (for where they got picked), i didnt mind the Zboril pick. All their 2nd round picks were a steal tho.. so that makes up for it.

Don't think anyone ever criticized their 2nd round picks.

 

[Satan]

I'm so surprised he's in the NHL already

Leads the entire league. Top 5 spots: all Bruins.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Indeed... And last night he played 24:27...

Indeed... And last night he played 24:27...

And having a solid d-partner to rely on has made Chara look better than he has in a couple years.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

It's because of Chara that he's performing well.

Err wait Chara is washed up... They're both playing well because of the other one...

In all seriousness, Carlo looks NHL ready at 19. Great pick by Sweeney.

Yes we did... as they were all "2nd round" picks....
