Another “prospect list”, hockey writers, where Lauzon is not mentioned as graduated.
Yes. However, I believe it is just a matter of time for him. For all intents and purposes I think he has, though it isn't reflected in his games played just yet. I will be surprised if he isn't on the opening day roster as a lock for the third pairing.
Beauty, I hope he pushes for spot next year.
He has offensive upside and from what I have watched has the speed to play in the NHL now.
Needed to get bigger, add 10-15 pds.

If Jake is traded then this guy as a left winger prospect could take that spot in time.

mainstays:
Studnicka, Vaakanainen
They’re the two highest upside prospects listed. Both will play in the NHL in some capacity.
biggest sleeper:
Lauko, Achan
For Lauko, if he can figure it out offensively (more consistent) he has the highest upside for forwards with his elite speed and tenacious grit. Achan will not be here long. Even as a diminutive defenseman, he can play.
biggest bust:
Axel Andersson
Isnt it obvious? He’s the only non-Bruin listed. Haha. I actually think he has the biggest bust upside. He’s a slick skating defenseman who can play on the PP but is not overly strong in his own end. Point haven’t been a huge thing for Andersson despite being viewed as a potential offensive QB. If the points don’t come what is he? Your only asset as a hockey player can’t be skating.
Biggest Mainstays:
Jack Studnicka, John Beecher
Studnicka is an obvious one at this point. The flashes he showed in the playoffs when playing in the bubble shows that he is a forward with both size and speed that the Bruins have desperately needed to compete in the new NHL. He is a clear shoe in to be on the Bruins roster for a while. Beecher seems to have flown under most of our radars after being selected, but man did he have a pleasantly surprising year in the Big 10 for Michigan. In his Freshman campaign, Beecher put up 16 points in 31 games and was a plus seven for the Wolverines, making him tied for the 4th highest scoring player on the team with fellow freshman and Flyers' prospect Cam York and Sophomore Nick Blankenburg. And he's only 18. Kid needs to develop some physical aspects to his game, but man he's got eyes in the back of his head with the way he makes some of his set up passes and has a deadly shot too. Beecher has the chance to be a real cornerstone player for this team and could possibly, in my opinion, could make an immediate impact. I will say there is a proviso to that because Beecher needs to continue that form into his sophomore year.
Biggest Sleepers:
Curtis Hall, Jeremy Swayman
Hall made a big leap at Yale this year in his Sophomore season, as he led the Bulldogs with 27 points with 17 of those being goals. The question if the progress he made in the ECAC can translate to a higher level of competition like the AHL. If so, he is a diamond in the rough that could be a nice piece on this Bruins team. I will add, however, I think Hall would be better suited to wing but that's just me. As for Swayman, he is the first goalie prospect the Bruins have drafted themselves in a while that has hype and potential to be a replacement for Rask and Halak down the line. If he does well in the AHL next season like he did for the Black Bears of Maine, I think the Bruins have a real talent on their hands.
Biggest Bust:
Axel Andersson
Kid didn't cut it in Providence and clearly under delivered to the point he is off the team. Shame really, given that pick could have been used to take Alec Regula who looks to be a big time prospect for the Red Wings. But what are you going to do. Thankfully, the Bruins were able to parlay him at the deadline for a proven commodity in Ondrej Kase

I’d be interested in hearing why Vaak would be in the bust category? Beecher as well.
I didn’t realize Andersson signed with Anaheim so that answers the biggest bust. 2nd round pick from 2 drafts ago and already gone. Bad puck considering the Bs only have 5 picks in 2018!
studnicka should definitely see a lot more time next season - maybe not 82 games but definitely a solid part of the season. 3rd line RW with Coyle? Don’t think he breaks top 6 just yet.
Beecher can’t be a bust. Too much high end talent. B’s management won’t Let him bust. He’s going to have a long career!

Didn't particularly like their respective seasons, for such an elite skater Vaakanainen was turned and beat often this season also went through the motions for much of the year,he certainly didn't play as well as he did in Boston also he'd get killed in the post season
With Beecher I get what Boston saw,at times he showed it,at times he didn't ,rumors which I won't share here have me turned off a bit,Im now in a show me mode with him,didn't make the move to the OHL that might have been beneficial
I'd move on from both of them while you can maximize return

I'm saying Vaak for "bust" because at one point he was our best LHD prospect and there we talks he'd be McAvoy future partner. So really it's a bust because I don't think he reaches that level

Was in camp with both Boston and Providence but after much internal debate management decided to send him to the Q

Swayman going to be a star - He will follow a similar path as Rask serving as his backup for 2-3 years before taking over
