I’m bowing out and ignoring this thread - why bother Corey Pronman said the system sucks
TWENTY SEVEN!!!!!!!
Remember that
Andy Hilbert and Lee Goren beat that
I can remember many of your posts over the years so I know you've been a fan of old tyme publications like the hockey news the same I was back in the day before the intraweb. and I remember those listings never giving bruins much credit too.
hell... this forum was around in the early days when Bergeron, marchand, lucic, krejci were joining the team... there were a few posters in the know who would come here and get us all excited about the special k guys... but for the most part no one was giving us much credit for that class of guys. I remember you got pretty annoyed at me when I was comparing young Bergeron to a dale hunter standard. I suppose hindsight has shown us I was quite a bit underestimating Bergeron myself. on the other hand I was giving marchand a spot on the big team after his 2o game first go... and I was being torn up alive in my offseason roster projections because no one was agreeing with me that marchand has much nhl future at that point.
so... my point is? doesn't matter what corey pronman says. ive done a little exercise here many many times over the years where I show just how damn good our 'system' has been by naming actual graduates of our system and just how freaking awesome the 23 man roster would look of real true boston bruin graduates of the system if we had them all together now.
haven't done it for awhile so here goes..
first line why not throw out pastrnak/Bergeron/marchand
second line... hows this for depth scoring kessel/seguin/wheeler
youth and energy on the 3rd line danton Heinen/david krejci/jake debrusk
some big crash and bang on the 4th line vladamir sobotka/joe thornton/milan lucic
ryan donato and nate Thompson can ride the box waiting for their turn
if that isn't the best group of forwards in the nhl… I don't know what is... and defense isn't too bad either
dougie Hamilton/torey krug can log icetime with the seguin line... whiz/bang/shoot them up
Charlie McAvoy/matt grzelyck… this is a pairing I wish to see
brandon carlo/kevan miller... our left shot graduates is our one weakness
matthew benning… I think you all will see this kids star rise and rise
tuuka rask qualifies for being one of our prospects... he was down in the farm with us waiting his chance
Malcolm subban and Michael Hutchinson also count as our prospects once upon a time
the names are here... all laid out... and they are pretty damn good... and just look at some of these names playing around the league I didn't even use here..
ryan spooner
alexander koholachev {one of ours that has nhl pedigree talent}
forbaska-karlsson…. has only the 1 game so far but could be getting more this season
anders Bjork... how good will this guy be?
Kris versteeg… a 643 game nhl career and doesn't make our team here
matt hunwick… another 500 game nhl career but a minor leaguer for us
adam McQuaid... hes one of ours... developed by us
amazing stuff
