Bruins send 2015 first-round pick Zach Senyshyn to AHL - The Boston Globe

A key element for many young players to grasp, including the likes of Senyshyn: maintaining speed when in control of the puck. It’s important to attack at speed, a point that Cassidy drums into his young charges.

“He’s a good kid, a smart kid, in terms of what he needs to do better,” noted Cassidy. “He gets it. Now it’s just a matter of finding that internal motor to get yourself out of the American League — and that’s a challenge for a lot of young guys.”

Cassidy was coaching in Providence to witness first hand the early days of Brad Marchand and Vladimir Sobotka. Each of them had to refine their games, recalled Cassidy, but they arrived with motors revved and legs motoring.

“I would say he was ahead of the curve on that,” said Cassidy, referring to Marchand, who spent 113 games over two seasons in Providence before making it to the varsity. “Sobotka, too. For them it was just a matter of honing their pucks skills. Marchy’s hands were out of control a little bit when he first started — his shot wasn’t nearly as accurate as it is now. He was wide a lot.

Cameron Hughes, Emil Johansson and Joona Koppanen also were assigned to the WannaB’s. Tanner Pond also will report to Providence. Defenseman Axel Andersson, the 57th pick in this past June’s draft, was returned to Djurgarden in the Swedish Elite League.

Marchand & Sobotka the most dominant line I ever saw in 25 years of AHL hockey - there just weren’t Defenseman that could handle their quickness. Of course they were a bit over the line at times.

Who was the right winger on that line and had to keep up with those 2?!

They had Hamill with them and the takeaway was he’s the guy drafted 8th overall and the other two went in the third and fourth round ?

Brad Marchand on Jack Studnicka: “He’s going to play for this team eventually and he’s going to be a really good player. He sees the ice very well and is very talented. He’s not scared to go to any area of the ice and he’s very fast.”

Future super line

DeBrusk-Studnicka-Heinen

 

[Salem13]

Damn table, cant figure out how to put text around it



Anyways, wonder if anyone gets claimed?

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I like Cave. Thought he had a decent camp. If he works on his face offs I think he can be a pretty decent 4th line center in this league.

Dumb question, but these guys are waiver eligible and will have a chance to be claimed?

None of them are waiver-eligible, all of them can be claimed. None likely will be claimed.

 

[Boston Bruno]

I think someone will pick up Blidh. We will see.

99.9 percent he won’t be....

 

[Boston Bruno]

99.9 percent he won’t be....

Probably my bias. I like arch type.

With Captain Jack official being returned to Oshawa, it's on.... Enter to Win an Authentic, Signed Jack Studnicka Jersey

Went to see Dustyn McFaul on the weekend. Looks to have added some bulk to his 6'3" frame and not affect his skating.

Team is struggling out of the gate with a 2-5-0 record but he's been a bright spot eating up huge minutes and playing in every situation. Sits second on the team in scoring with 1 goal and 4 assists in those 7 games.

 

[DKH]

After live viewing Studnicka, Frederic, Andersson, Vaakanainen, Lauko the past couple of weeks - all recent draft picks I’d like to know what the heck they are drinking over there. A lot of off the path picks but everyone was impressive as heck

Whoever is doing the dirty work and long hours watching the draft eligibles looks like they are killing it

 

[DKH]

I look at prospects as two sets now

Group 2016-2018
Vaakanainen
Studnicka
Frederic
Andersson
Lauko

Group B (2015 >)
Zboril
Senyshyn
Cehlarik
Lauzon
JFK
Fitzgerald
Vladder
Etc

Just curious Dan, do you list Vladar on the bottom because he's the "least impressive" or ?

No his name popped into my head last

All players listed are just randomly entered in the group

In other words...the two groups are entirely arbitrary. Got it.

Yeah, the way Vladar waits patiently and draws pucks into himself is IMO reminiscent of Ken Dryden. Very patient, very poised, very controlled responses.

They still have a very strong pool considering the way they wheeled picks and some prospects out recently

He’s getting people’s attention

 

[Dr Hook]

All the hand-wringing that's gone on about the Bruins having weak goalie depth and no successor to Tuuka after Subban left and Zane stumbled now seems premature. Hindsight is always better, but I wonder if the Bruins knew all along what they had in Vladar and were less worried about Malcolm and Zane. Of course anointing Vladar as an NHLer is also premature, but it is nice to see that he could be the real deal.

I don’t know a lot about him other than the visual his size and what I’ve learned and seen at camps and Providence- he’s charismatic and the kids and fans love him and he’s reciprocating.

It would be huge if he ends up a home run
