Prospect Info: Round 5 - Pick #151 - D Mason Langenbrunner - Eden Prairie High / USHS-MN - 19/20

Nepotism, really?

That’s not a thing anymore.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Well the Bruins saved a ton of money on scouting this year. They only had to watch their past draft picks to find guys for this draft and ask one about their own kid. No other travel required. Sounds like the Bobby Orr story !!??

 

[Tbaybruin]

We got lucky with debrusk having bloodlines in the nhl loui . Maybe we hit the lottery again.

Ya we won 2 bucks on a scratch ticket that cost $4

 

[maxbme]

That’s not a thing anymore.

It definitely is, but it seems like he might be a solid player. not the same as devils drafting brodeurs kid

 

[BruinsBtn]

At least Detroit had the decency to take Draper's kid in the 7th round

 

[EvilDead]

I didn't realize the N in NHL stood for nepotism. I don't want to bad mouth Langenbrunner's kid because who knows, maybe he becomes somebody and the Bruins just happened to have the inside track. I just loathe the way the Bruins have handled this draft and him being taken in the 5th round given the lack of talent in the US draft pool this year in comparison to what was in Canadian Juniors kind of baffles me.

That said, we'll see how this Mason kid develops once he comes to the Hockey East under Donato at Harvard come 21-22.

Must be in dad's contract. Any children will be employed by the Bruins.

Another 6/7/undrafted calibre of prospect.

You mean Tom Fitzgerald's kid isn't NHL caliber and the Bruins burned a pick on him to make his dad happy? Lies I say. LIES! :^)

 

[EvilDead]

Can he be slimmer good god, 165 pounds at 6 feet 2. Go see Phill the Thrill and eat some hot dogs kid.

To paraphrase a joke from Otto Petersen, kid looks like he should be a bouncer at a salad bar.

Detroit just picked Kris Draper's kid

Ryan no, Casey yes

 

[EvilDead]

Detroit just picked Kris Draper's kid

in the 7th round.

 

[EvilDead]

Ya we won 2 bucks on a scratch ticket that coat $4

That's like finding the remote to your tv after the entire house burned down.

 

[CDJ]

lol some of y’all are absolutely ridiculous



cry more about a 5th round pick you know nothing about...you can’t

 

[RoccoF14]

LOL. I just checked in and got a chuckle seeing that we've drafted Mason.

I actually know this kid and and am pretty good friends with his high school coach. His aunt actually works for me. He's a good kid, comes from a great family and a solid Minnesota High School program (produced Nick Leddy).

Whether or not he's gonna be an NHLer is way too early to tell (and I don't really care TBH.) I'm just really happy for this kid right now. Its nice to see great kids take one step closer to their dream.

PS: Anyone losing their minds over who we've taken in this draft needs to calm the f*** down......NHL draft is a total crapshoot, especially after the first round.

Guess we’ll finally find out how good our coordinator of player development is considering how much he coordinated the development of this player

 

[Over the volcano]

Reminds me of the Donato and Fitzgerald picks.

Benning too ... hell throw Grzlyeck in there

It seems that DS likes to pick players going to University because he has more time before he has to offer them a contract. Good plan if you draft good players, as you see their talent as older players before getting stuck with a dud. But if you pick all reaches, employees kids, and give away a pick you are probably wasting an entire draft! That was my take on today's dumpster fire! I don't know why the Bruins brass even wasted their time today, they should have just traded all their picks to Toronto for their picks next year.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

His interview with NESN did not impress me. Does not come across as the brightest... but it was a quick first impression and we shall see.

 

[Spooner st]

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Reminds me of the Donato and Fitzgerald picks.

Or don sweeney's nephew who nowadays cannot even score in a regional hockey league

When you start ripping 18-year old kids who are committed to Harvard for being dumb, maybe it's time to take a step back.

 

[duffy]

I'm not the biggest Carlo fan but if this kid ends up 1/2 the player Carlo is then he was the steal of the draft!
