Yes they are. But Belleville is the only one in the OHL and going back and forth from game to game wouldn't benefit him as much as going to the AHL would IMO

Mark Divver reported yesterday that Pastrnak said he has a year left on his contract in Sweden. On my phone and can't link, sorry, but his story is on the ProJo web site.

Correct me if I'm wrong on surmising that if the Bruins really really want him to play in Providence, that is an option? Or would his Sweden contract overrule a possible move?
It is possible for Pasta to play in Providence. Most contracts in Sweden, where the player may get a chance in the NHL (ie not 4th line scrubs etc), have an out clause for the NHL. If the Bruins sign him to an ELC they can assign him to wherever they want.
He has to sign prior to a specific date though that I currently can't remember. It is sometime prior to the start of the Allsvenskan season at least.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I would guess that he'll play in Sweden this year and then head to Providence/Boston next year.

FWIW Pastrnak's 24 points last year are an Allsvenskan record for a player under the age of 18.

Good article from my friend Scott Barboza. Glad to see him getting time on the ESPNBoston Bruins blog- knows his stuff.

He's got another one on Pastrnak from yesterday's events, too.

Seeing as he'd be a leading player on my team in our quest for promotion to the SHL, I like the sound of that.
No, he's second. William Nylander played for two different teams last season and if you add his numbers up he totals 27 points. For some reason they are presented separately on EP.

Are these two players comparable? It will be interesting to see Nylander's and Pastrnak's career progression.

They are very different players from what I've seen.
Nylander heady, every bit as skilled as Pasta... But always seems to have more space. Sees the ice incredibly well. Stupid well. I know they aren't too far apart in size, but Nylander strikes one as being much larger.
Pastrnak is scrappy and crafty and more of a kamikaze type, less of a game manager.
They both have excellent NHL upside. I'd say Pastrnak more as a second line player and Nylander on the top line... But both being effective in their roles.

Agreed. In the process.
Meantime, I'm closing this one down, as it's almost at the limit and this stuff can be talked about in the ongoing Prospect thread:
