For pick #151 the Boston Bruins select Enkhbat Batbaatar of Mongolia from the CCOA (Challenge Cup of Asia) League.
Don Sweeney was quoted as saying "The other GMs are idiots if they don't see the potential of players from Mongolia playing at higher altitudes and coming to play in cities at sea level. It's science"

Just woke up this morning my time, thought 'oh I'll have a look and see who the Bs have drafted so far', first headline I read is "Bruins pick low-ranked D-man in second round". Business as usual for another day then!

Like many here I was on the Wisdom train and was disappointed Boston didn't select him, but I have to acknowledge that every single team passed on the kid at least once, many twice, until Philly took him at 94. Clearly, for whatever reasons, all the GMs were not sold on him.

Sweeney is likely browsing here and on social media for ideas. Please stop.

I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

Me too.

Really looking forward to constant arguments on this board for the next 5 years about how the Bruins shouldn't have passed on Zayde Wisdom

That's the least of it, the choice will be endless. Take anyone who was drafted after the 2nd pick.

Honestly if Bruins picked up a guy like that with a name like that I'm buying that jersey with number double 0.

I heard he has a high floor and is a couple years older than everyone else

I wish I was in control of that 2nd round pick. I would have called gorton rangers lias andersson ok . No problem here is my 2nd . How hard could it be. Jeez donny.

Low-ranked might be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about Lohrei.

Bruins miss out on Bear Hughes.....

So many missed opportunities this year..

Dont bash this pick. Enkhbat has post solid number as an overage overager!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Nepotism?

Really?

Off with their f***ing heads

I'm starting to think Sweeny wasn't very popular among his co-workers back in the day.

 

[JOKER 192]

Nah , that's to easy. They gotta suffer 1st.

 

[LouJersey]

hilarious.

I loved his pops as a player, so we will see

Yeah I'm sure every player after the Bruins 2nd pick will be an NHLer, good analysis.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This is ridiculous. Projected as a 6th or 7th round prospect if drafted. We are trying to make daddy satisfied? Is it part of his contract? A holiday bonus?

 

[Alicat]

hilarious.

[Memokerobi]

I think Sweeney and Co have as much knowledge as we do on prospects that are outside the US

 

[member 96824]

The plus side is the B’s now have their highest ranked player drafted today...so there’s that!

Who else in the org has kids, get ‘em all!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

lol really?
