Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXII

[Saxon Eric]

I would try and get him this year but he does have another year of eligibility

 

[BlackFrancis]

Good game. Exciting finish. Our boys did nothing, really.

Can't really fault Svedback on any goals allowed. No real bell ringer saves, either.

In looking at Duran's stats they are very mediocre. What does he bring to the table that could make him a future Bruin, he seems pretty highly spoken of on these boards. I have never seen him play.

Strange that they have Locmelis as the net front presence

Mediocre compared to whom?

Mediocre compared to whom?

He has 45 points in 78 career games as a forward, on the face of it it dosen't scream out genuine NHL prospect, far from it. I'm just curious why it seems like a lot of people on these boards really like this guy. Again, I have never seen him play, not trying to be critical as I would love to see another one of our prospects make the grade

I don't think there is much chance he is a top 6 guy at the NHL level. there have been stretches he has looked like he could be, but that seems to be small stretches. He has games where is is fairly dominant. He is big, and can play an NHL style game, but it may be no more than a checking line guy

He does everything you want and love out of a bottom six player. I’d describe him as an elite fourth liner, which may be an oxymoron, but i’ll stand by it.

I don’t think the goal for him is top six. He’s also on a bit of a cold streak right now if I’m not mistaken. The hope was that he would obviously improve upon last year which he maybe has not.

I loved his game at the world juniors representing the US. Was nearly a ppg playing on the fourth line.

I suppose if you're comparing his stats to someone in the Q it doesn't scream NHL prospect but then again it's an Apple vs Oranges thing
Duran has a big frame, decent skater and is able to cause issues in on the forecheck, strong at the dot, quick and heavy shot but can setup plays as well he's very streaky but also very versatile,plays both Center and RW usually on the first or second line for the 5th best College team in the Country
Hopefully Boston can convince him to come out early and sign him

Thursday Night Wrap

Myrenberg 1 assist 1 shot +1 19:02 TOI 4-2 win

Umass stuns PC with a late goal to win 3-2
Locmelis 2 shots 5 for 10 faceoffs
Duran zeros across the board but did setup multiple chances
Svedebäck 24 saves and the loss

For me players like this should be compared to Sean Kuraly, because that is what you hope you get when you draft this type of guy in the later roundx. Kuraly never put up big points in college but he is clearly a solid bottom 6 NHLer. If Duran becomes that, it's a big win for the Bruins.

Getting ready to watch BU VS MAINE. who are the bruins draft picks playing in this game

Gallagher #4 BU

[SanDogBrewin]

Almost had a couple more. Good game between Uconn-BC.

 

[Guelph Bruin]

There is a lot of banter about the big club needing more toughness (old school style.. Kevin Miller, etc) ...who in our prospect pool fits the tough as nails profile? Jackson Edward? Anyone else?

I don't know what they will be as pro's but in addition to being skilled Gasseau is big, physical, and at least chippy at the college level . Not saying he will be a fighter, but Duran could become a physical 3rd/4th liner.

SE any players that were typically ranked outside your top 10-15 sneaking up into the top 10 category?

Hendrickson and Jellvik
Kostadinski has me curious but I'm not ready to commit
Jellvik has always shown he's capable of doing stuff at top speed and he's super consistent right now
Hendrickson might have the highest ceiling of everyone in the pool minus Lysell and Merkulov but it's gonna be a long rode

How's Hendrickson's skating, Eric? I keep forgetting to tune in when Sioux Falls is playing.
