[The Special K]

uh-oh....here comes a ****storm.....

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Never understood why they took him at 32 when Merrill and Toffoli were still on the board.

 

[LSCII]

any word on the return?

 

[CDJ]

Maybe he'll finally get a ****ing chance

 

[Coach Parker]

What???

 

[Therick67]

any word on the return?

Corey Potter

 

[Sheppy]

For who? Probably Wes Walz.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

Not happy about this.

What's coming back?

 

[LSCII]

Corry Potter

I take it Greg Zannon wasn't available???

 

[Fire Sweeney]

No way, not the future 30-goal scorer ?

 

[PsychoDad]

Never understood why they took him at 32 when Merrill and Toffoli were still on the board.

Because he made this home video with his fitness trainer how he would rock the NHL draft combine has he been invited...

 

[BruinsBtn]

So many people were in love with him on this board. At least the Providence board can finally move onto talking about something else now.

The Bruins gave up on this guy about 3 years ago when he started to train to be an MMA fighter and hurt himself.

Hopefully it's for a passable #6-7 NHL defenseman. Ballard maybe? No idea, but Minny claimed Prosser off waivers and traded for Leopold so they must have an extra defenseman or two.

 

[PlaceboFan]

Good, he was never going to amount to anything in Boston. Hopefully he can turn it around in Minnesota. Wonder what's coming back.

 

[Gargyn]

Another great pick by chia and company. I love our picks!

 

[LSCII]

Has anyone seen DKH? Whatever you do, don't let him enter any tall buildings for the next 24 hours...

 

[BruinDust]

Never understood why they took him at 32 when Merrill and Toffoli were still on the board.

Should of taken Justin Faulk with the Knight pick.

 

[Blitzkrug]

God damnit, Chia couldn't resist trading for Stewart.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

speechless right now

 

[BruinsBtn]

Never understood why they took him at 32 when Merrill and Toffoli were still on the board.

Justin Faulk was on the board!

...in Chia's defense, at the time I would have taken John McFarland (who is in the ECHL but had a 96-goal season in the GTHL).

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Zach Phillips coming our way

 

[toasterjam]

Another wasted 2nd Round pick...I guess it's not so bad we gave up 2 2nd rounders today.
I wish Knight was given more of a shot, I hope he puts it together for the Wild. I did like his game but he got buried in providence and hardly any quality ice time with quality teammates, but at the end of the day he just couldn't make it happen.

The blame is on Knight, he couldn't produce or earn more icetime, but I just wish earlier on he was put in a little better position to succeed...instead of worrying about the development of...Rob Flick, Cory Kane, Ethan Werek...Andrew Cherniwchan.

ah well..at least we still have the Tommy Cross project.

For another AHLer Zach phillips

 

[CDJ]

Former 1st round pick. Interesting. Hasn't produced too much in the AHL, but he has done more than Knight...

 

[YNWABoston]

Zack Phillips is a nice return for Knight.
