[SanDogBrewin]

Gasser with the hammer from Jellvik.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

"Bruins prospect Oskar Jellvik picks up the secondary assist with the zone entry. Eight points in five postseason games for Jellvik."

Another strong game.

Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: March 31, 2024

I have to clear up some Kristian Kostadinski news. Yes, he was listed on Frolunda’s roster for their SHL playoff matchup against Leksand on March 24, but he did not play. He does not have an SHL co…

I hope we sign Nelson big power forward from college

I hope we sign Nelson big power forward from college

We did, Bruins just announced it. He's going to Providence for the rest of the year on an ATO, then his ELC starts next season.

Manifestation is real

 

[bruinmann77]

Are they still in on Graff

 

[yazmybaby]

I hope we sign Nelson big power forward from college

What do we know about his skill set?
I see he is 24 YO, pretty old to be playing still at the College level / RH shot, and plays center?
Do we have another Charlie Coyle?

They should be doing everything they can to land him but something tells me no.

 

[HustleB]

I think we are hoping for a 4th liner here. Would be a great signing if he is able to compete for a 4th line spot in the next 24 months.

Clarification On The Bruins’ Pursuit Of Collin Graf

After signing University of Minnesota forward and captain Jaxon Nelson to a one-year entry-level contract on Tuesday morning, the Boston Bruins are likely out of the Colin Graf sweepstakes. Have they pursued the highly-coveted NCAA free agent and Lincoln, MA native? Yes, they have. Did the...

As we reported here last week, the Bruins were not frontrunners for Graf heading into the NCAA regionals. According to the aforementioned source above, that remains the case, but that hasn’t stopped the Bruins from continuing to pursue Graf.

The Leprechaun says the Bruins are NOT frontrunners for Graf, FWIW.

 

[mikelvl]

Now Divver says they aren't in on Graf and haven't been in all year. So that's that.

 

[Mione134]

Seems like a great kid.

Doubtful on Charlie Coyle.

He is likely going to have to make his bones as a 4th line/maybe 3rd line defensive player. that said he seems to be a pretty good skater for the size which can help. He also has shown the ability to get in front of of the net and work hard there. If his 4th line skills get him into the league there is a chance he can also be a second PP guy, and if he does that he could get some points.

The Bruins have wasted no time adding to their prospect pipeline with an intriguing free-agent pickup from the collegiate ranks.

Just days after the University of Minnesota was bested by Boston University in the NCAA Regional Final in Sioux Falls, the Golden Gophers’ captain, Jaxon Nelson, is signing with the Bruins.

Boston announced Tuesday that it has signed Nelson to a one-year, entry-level contract that carries an NHL cap hit of $870,000. Nelson’s contract with Boston will go into effect next season, with the 24-year-old center reporting to the Providence Bruins on an amateur tryout (ATO) deal for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.

Nelson has an intriguing skillset that could translate to the NHL ranks, especially for a Bruins organization that has made a concerted effort at stockpiling assets at the center position over the last few seasons.

Nelson is a big body at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds who projects as a bruising, two-way pivot at the pro level if he continues to grow his overall game.


“Jaxon is a big, right shot, two-way center with leadership qualities as captain of a very successful collegiate program,” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said. “He has shown consistent growth throughout his time at the University of Minnesota and the Bruins are excited to have Jaxon join our organization.”

Nelson had a strong finish to his fifth and final season with Minnesota, scoring 11 goals over the final eight games of his collegiate career — including three tallies in the NCAA tournament against the University of Nebraska Omaha and BU.

Graffiti wanted into nhl right away so looks like a money grab to me

I can't blame him.

But I didn't expect him to pick the wasteland that is San Jose.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

I can't blame him.

But I didn't expect him to pick the wasteland that is San Jose.

Since the contract starts immediately, he probably wanted playing time in the NHL sooner rather then later
I realize there isn't many games left in the season for the Sharks, but they had a reason.
Capfriendly has his contract Registration pending.
