Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects VII - Stay on Subject!

[DaaaaB's]

I'm not surprised.

Is that because of an attitude problem or just lack of skill?

 

[maxbme]

Keyser has been solid against Sweden. USA as a whole has been terrible, but Keyser really doesn't deserve the 4-0 score. Very easy to imagine this score being much worse

 

[maxbme]

Oops double posted.

here is an extremely nice pass from Vaakanainen

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

So he is done with the Bruins. Hopefully he plays well and we can get something for him. He has one more year left on his elc.

He definitely had enough hype that I'd have expected him to be something.

 

[Top Shelf Wrister]

I'm not surprised.

My fault really. Bought his junior card for my son, kiss of death

What’s the story/s with Gabrielle?

Thought he had a great combination of skill and grit - is it a growing up (or not growing up) thing, is he struggling to pick up a particular aspect they want him to work on, or is he still too much of a loose cannon?

What’s out there on him?

Has his ship sailed in the organization?

not going to comment on that other stuff, but yes to the bolded, IMO.

I am not sure if I can ask this .Mods remove if I am wrong. But where can I read what went on with Gabrielle to put him in situation he is in???

You can't.

 

[Blowfish]

You can't.

Dom any word on Ice Dogs / Studnicka? My one source who is pretty close to the organization says very likely / expecting trade soon. edited lol

DeBrusk?

As Dom says it cant.
But myself and Admin have received verified info. over many months that the relationship between player and organization was fractured.
Due to confidentiality reasons we wont be passing along specifics or quotes in our possession.

 

[Blowfish]

DeBrusk?

oh my...head cold medicine mixed with small hangover not a good thing for this guy on a Sunday. Of course that would be Mr. Studnicka.

Fare enough ,I was not trying trying to put anyone in an awkward position was merely curious as to what had happened as a Bruins fan

For us without any inside knowledge, this answer is truly ... unsatisfying

I don't know how close it is. But if they trade him, may as well trade Keyser as well. Would love to see KK go to London and watch the two go head to head. Or maybe against Ottawa with the best 2 goalies going head to head.

I like your thinking...

Oof

I can truly understand why it gets frustrating when information can't be shared for multiple reasons. I can understand that it can sometimes be infuriating. On the flip side, I can also understand why sometimes info can't be shared because of "secrecy" issues or "protecting a source" issue.

A lot of information sometimes isn't trustworthy. We as fans have to decide who we can trust and who we can't.

I do believe, in the end, it will all come out. Some will say he was never given a chance and some will even call it a smear campaign by management. Hopefully, those in the know that Wally speaks of can shed some light on the situation.

 

[veganbruin]

Bummer to hear about Gabrielle. I had high hopes for him. So much skill and will. Heck the bruins even signed him to a contract didn’t they? He played well 2 pre-seasons ago.

I imagine my question can't be answered, but maybe someone can offer an explanation. If the relationship is fractured, why don't they waive him/terminate his contract? Why don't they let him try to go to another team and restart his career? Seems like a bad look to just hold onto a player when he's not in their future plans.

Because its a business and an asset was used to acquire him and perhaps he can be part of regaining an asset. No need to throw away an asset under control if you dont have to.

The gabrielle situation can be used to argue another point that too often gets missed when casting judgements on a teams scouting and drafting

Often a kid might be a good gamble pick at 18 in a mid round. He might have intriguing ability that has a chance to pan out. Often this kid might be a very fine gamble choice

And then... life happens

You cant always place the blame on the gm or the scouts

I remember hearing about bryan fogerty and drinking... supposedly samuelsson was smoking and couldnt get his conditioning up to par. Kennedy went public with childhood abuse situation that derailed his career

Then theres injuries... girlfriend situations... and all sorts of other unique variables that might impact on a picks development

We should all be a bit more understanding that devrloping nhl pros is sometimes tricky business

This post would have been perfect Mike. Then you added the bolded. It really doesn't fit the Gabrielle situation and not worth mentioning.

 

[DominicT]

Not to mention:

Waive him to where? Siberia? He's in the ECHL. How do you waive him?

And his contract can't be terminated. He's under contract for one more year. I will be shocked if he's given a qualifying offer then.
