Ya sorry about that. You guys are right.

I missed Senyshyn and also Johansson and Gabrielle.

Probably someone else too.

My stab at the current Bruins Prospect list for the start of the New Year. I've removed those that have played 30 games in the NHL so Gryz and Bjork are still on here. Also, must be 25 and under.

1) Forsbacka-Karlsson
2) Donato
3) Zboril
4) Swayman
5) Frederic
6) Grzelcyk
7) Lindgren

8) Bjork
9) Senyshyn
10) Vaakanainen

11) Vladar
12) Cehlarik
13) Strudnicka
14) Johansson
15) Hughes
16) Lauzon
17) Fitzgerald
18) Berglund
19) Koppanen
20) Steen

21) Gabrielle
22) Pare
23) McIntyre
24) Blidh
25) Clifton
26) Sherman

27) Hargrove
28) Cave
29) O'Gara
30) Agostino

31) Bukac
32) Clarke

33) Hickman
34) Cross
35) Becker
36) Khokhlachev
37) Arnesson

1 through 20 may not have someone with as high a ceiling as McAvoy or Pastrnak but that is a very deep collection of future NHL players. As many as 15 could go on to long NHL careers.

Steen scored the winner for the Swedes in the shoot out today and was impressive all game buzzing around the ice. Koppanen was another that impressed me with his presence and always being between the puck/man and his net. He is not the fastest skater but has long strides and gets where he needs to be, strong on the fore check and can snipe. Frederic needs to get a bigger role now with injuries he finally scored and Lindgren is being used less then I thought he would be as is Urho.

That top 10 is loaded even with promotions and from 11-30 has some players who will play regularly and very well in the NHL

I applaud the effort, but in 3 months this list will look significantly different (as the one 3 months ago did).

Kyle Keyser is healthy and playing up to the potential that was one of the reasons why the Bruins signed him as a free agent.

In his last 5 games he is 4-1-0 (stopped 35 of 37 shots in his only loss) with a goals against average of 1.80 and a save percentage of .934 Those are tremendous numbers by OHL standards.

Trade deadline is January 10. Oshawa has already sold off and with 3 goaltenders in the mix, Keyser could draw interest from a solid playoff team.

This list still looks pretty accurate to me. Only major change I'd make is to vault Donato up into a group with the top 3 forwards. I'd take Grizz off the list too, as he will soon be ineligible.

How high does Donato climb post-Olympics? EST guess, top7

he's in my top 5 right now. i have lauzon down a bit due to injuries (big fan, but dude needs to be able to play games), and zboril
too (although he's playing pretty well - it seems like the coaches had him totally tone it down to the point of a very simple defensive game).
