GDT: Entry Draft 2015 - Part II - Disaster in Sunrise? - 10 AM NHLN - TVA

[YNWABoston]

I had a feeling this morning that the Bruins didn't reset their draft board when they acquired all those first round picks. The reaches they made likely mean they had Senyshyn targeted for the 2nd round pick and just picked up a round early because they liked him. No they essentially pass in the 5th round. NOT A GOOD LOOK.

Sweeney went to Harvard?

There has got to be something else. A wink and anod deal...something...Just when he was starting to dig himself out of a monstrous hole he does this! A fifth isn't a throwaway pick, particularly in a deep draft.

 

[Gator Mike]

Bruins trade pick #165 to Vancouver for a 2017 7th round pick.











...not really. But for a second, you thought "Ugh. Freakin' Sweeney", didn't you?

 

[thevikes]

He also went at it with DuBrusk and...

apparently DuBrusk more than held his own. Lousy video over on Youtube (can I print that?).

 

[jaymez33]

Suter Suter Suter... take him

 

[YNWABoston]

On the clock..

 

[HumBucker]

Nope.


Malcolm is #4 right now. HIm and McIntrye can split the duties. I think both have positive trade value.

We honestly needed this good moves to add 2 guys like Jones and McIntyre since Malcolm is an unknown firstly Rask cant get ran into the ground anad second he could always get injured.

I'd put Malcolm in the middle.

 

[BruinInPhilly]

Cameron Hughes C from Wisc

 

[YNWABoston]

Cameron Hughes, C, Wisconsin. Sweeney had to get his US College Scouts a guy.

 

[YNWABoston]

It appears Cameron Hughes was at one point highly touted, but struggled this year at Wisconsin. He was one of the best incoming recruits to College Hockey last year (according to somethings I read).

 

[North Station]

No video for Cameron Hughes that I could find...unless he also owns a wine company

 

[Emerz]

Nathan Noel would be a nice 7th round pick, rated in the 2nd/3rd round..

The Bruins really had a fantastic draft overall

 

[Gator Mike]

Cameron? Cameron?

Donny Sweeney, you're my hero.

 

[Shortvalley]

Why didnt Sweeny take Andrew Mangiapane instead of Cameron Hughes? Well... i guess its a dumb question, its Sweeny we talking about.
But Mangiapane has alot more upside the Hughes.

"Mangiapane is one of the most underrated draft prospects in the 2015 draft. He has excellent speed and offensive instincts as can be seen as his 104 points. He is small but fearless and has continued to get better as he has grown as an OHL player. Offensively, he is one of the most talented prospects in the OHL and would be an excellent pick in the 4th or 5th round. (Tyler Parchem, EP 2015)"

Overall as far as need filling, the Bruins did a fantastic job. I identified the biggest areas of need for their system as high end grinder types, high end LW talent, and D (particularly right shot D) months ago.

high end grinders (JFK, Gabrielle)
top tier type LW (debrusk and senyshyn)
D (zboril LHD, Carlo RHD, lauzon LHD, miller RHD (through trade)

Overall system depth

LW
DEBRUSK
SENYSHYN
CEHLARIK
GABRIELLE
BLIDH

C
SPOONER
KHOKLACHEV
HEINEN

FORSBACKA-KARLSON

RW
PASTRNAK
CONNOLLY
DONATO (He has to make the switch right)


D
MORROW
O'GARA
GRZCELYK
MILLER
ZBORIL
CARLO
LAUZON


GOALIE
SUBBAN
MCINTYRE
VLADAR


we've turned into the blue jackets

 

[missingchicklet]

Carlo is a great great pick. So is Lauzon. Shocked that he was still available TBH. Don't know anything about Karlsson, but sounds like he is solid. Bs did a great job in the second round.

Where is Fitz ? HEINEN is a center ?

 

[YNWABoston]

OTC for last pick of the day

 

[YNWABoston]

Jack Becker, C.. Committed to Wisconsin

 

[Montecristo]

Where is Fitz ? HEINEN is a center ?

Heinen lined up at center for DU a lot last year. Think he played wing some as well. Fitz is after all of the other centers. He'll have a tough time cracking a top 9 role with boston I think

 

[don]

3 from my list got picked. Zboril, Carlo, Lauzon. Not where I wanted them but they're ours.

 

[Bruzin]

The Bruins really had a fantastic draft overall

I like it as a whole. The Bruins certainly added much needed depth at every position (having that many picks in the first 2 rounds will do that). Let's hope some of that quantity turns into quality.

Yes, they left a few hyped players on the board, but pre-draft rankings don't mean much when you're talking about 18-year-old hockey players.

If you were told last week that the Bruins drafted Zboril, DeDrusk and Carlo, fans would be stoked. Add Senyshyn and Lauzon, who have the Dom and Kirk seals of approval, and I think the Bruins made some intriguing choices.

Problem is we have two more gaping holes

Cameron Hughes, C, Wisconsin. Sweeney had to get his US College Scouts a guy.

Probably related to Brent, then he'd cover the need to draft an ex-bruin's family
