Ryan Donato is going to be our second best left wing when he gets here IMO. His second year has been far better than Vesey...better than Bjork....he's going to be a stud.
I thought donato was a right shot center.. LW would have been my last guess at his forward position
Is he not a center?

Interesting tidbit.
The Bruins have six prospects who averaged more than a point per game for their teams this year:
OHL: Senyshyn (65/59 games)
WHL: Gabrielle (64/61)
Jr A Liiga: Koppanen (54/38)
NCAA: Frederic (33/30), Donato (38/33), Bjork (47/36)
Three more in the NCAA were not far off:
Fitzgerald (31/34)
Hughes (32/36)
JFK (32/37)
Honorable mention: Jake Zboril (41/50)

Do we have a scouting report on him? Is he a puck-mover or a stay at home D?Diver just tweeted a short time ago that Emil Johansson could be in PB's lineup as soon as this weekend!

While doing prep for NCAA tourny had chats w few Minny people & all say Lindgren is real deal. Has ferocious attitude & awesome competitor
This comment probably belongs in the draft thread but in any regard. Dom had recently indicated in a thread that Nick Hague was a player the Bruins would be well served to target in this years draft. Mike Morreale's latest mock draft agreed. His comments on him:
19. Boston Bruins - Nicolas Hague, D, Mississauga (OHL)
Hague (6-5, 206) is a fluid skater and can move the puck extremely well, enabling his team to create a lot of offense. He also has five power-play goals, second on Mississauga. The left-shot defenseman also is tough in the defensive end.

Too bad some of these kids couldn't get here a little sooner. But still better than the barren Chiarelli days.
It is in the draft thread and Dom mentioned that he hopes the Bruins do not draft him.
Thanks for pointing out the error. Have edited the original post to reflect the error on my part with apologies to Dom.
Conor Timmins hands down over Hague for me.
Timmins (in the OHL) is the only d-man among draft eligible players in top 10 scoring. Top point producing d-man (61 points vs Hague 42 - who was second). Tops among all draft eligible players in +/-. Tops among all draft eligible players in assists (54) - Nick Suzuki is 2nd with 51.
And he displaced two already NHL drafted d-men on the Soo roster to become their number 1 d-man early in the season.
I think he just has so much more hockey IQ than Hague. Thinks the game at a very high level.
Will add this: The Bruins have kept tabs on Zach Senyshyn this season, so they've probably seen enough of Timmins to like him better than Hague.
The link you sent me to be able to view up to date draft prospects has Timmins at 26 Dom, do you think this is still accurate or likely he`s moved up a bit?
An old friend of mine teaches at St Andrews College in Aurora and enjoys catching their games, says he`s hooked on a kid Barron and it says he`s ranked at 88. He says he`s a big C-man with great hands but keep in mind, much like myself, he`s no scout
I assume you mean Morgan Barron?
Not my area so I'd prefer not to comment.
