Woah looks like tomahawk missile.

 

[Spooner st]

Looks great, let's hope it pans out.

 

[PB37]

Big kid with some skills. Seems like he was the go-to guy for his team to provide offense from the blueline, which is a good sign; big gap between him and the next defenseman on his team in terms of points.

 

[Alicat]

Welcome to Boston!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

this is oddly the most exciting pick of the draft so far. Sounds like a kid with an impressive set of tools.

 

[Bodit9]

All aboard the hype train!!!

 

[loosemoose]

Strange that he wasn't on anyone's radar despite pretty strong counting stats and analytics for a defenceman. I guess because he was barely an overager?

 

[Spooner st]

Couldn't find any video. Weird.

 

[JCRO]

"Needs to be more aggressive with his body"

Pray Bruins fans dont catch on to that

 

[ODAAT]

6`2, like it, just from what I am reading seems to be a big, agile kid, needs a little meat on the bones over the next few years, 16 pims doesn`t has me feeling the kid has any nasty in his game but....

Like the pick. Some, I repeat, some of what he lacks defensively can be taught. Interesting that he was listed as a c in his early days.

I know Dom's surprise player was in round six, but since this kid trains with Bergeron, think he might be it.

 

[BMC]

If anyone can teach a kid how to be a pro hockey player it's Patrice.

Welcome to the Bruins Frederic!!!

The Hockey News had him as a Top 10 sleeper pick
Frederic Brunet, D, Rimouski (QMJHL)

Passed over last year, Brunet has really upped his game with the Oceanic and has scouts talking. Big kid with good hands who can skate. He’s particularly strong at puck retrievals.

 

[missingchicklet]

Hope the Bergy connection with this kid turns out better than the connection with Foligno

In all seriousness, this really is an intriguing pick.

 

[Dellstrom]

Like the upside so late in the draft. Hopefully Bergy keeps him close. Will be fun to watch

 

[PB37]

Like the upside so late in the draft. Hopefully Bergy keeps him close. Will be fun to watch

Who knows, maybe someday Bergeron will be the one that extends this kid's contract

 

[UConn126]

I like what I'm reading about this kid. Think he looks more promising than the centers right now. Granted I'm going off very little lol.

Love it.

I'm sure Bergy let the Bruins know Intel on the kid.

 

[Alicat]

This is all I need to know. No doubt he was asked about him

 

[Bruinaura]

lol

 

[shelbysdad]

This could be a good pick....I like it
