Gets a serviceable D in Trotman in the 7th where anything above career AHL'er is a win
Anything above a career ECHL'er is a win in the 7th round

its called a sophomore slump...plenty of players have one.
16/17 Florida was a dumpster fire of turmoil. They dumped Gallant 20 games in coming off a division crown. Huberdeau only played 31 games. Everyone saw their numbers drop, not just Smith. Yandle, Barkov, Jagr, all declined
He seems to get good conversations going.... but I just see no effort to use the shift key so move on.i'll never understand how anyone can read one of your posts start to finish. jesus.

@Alberta_OReilly_Fan always has good content. But you have to sift through the fluff to get it. Uses 1000 characters to say the same thing you could with 250.

Just goes to show how inexact a science drafting really is. Yet some feel like every draft pick should become a star (Ok maybe not quite that, but you get my drift).Braun, S. Wilson, Kase, Dzingel, Demers, Haula, Stralman, Palat, Hornqvist, Hunwick, Gunnarsson, Pavelski, Lundqvist, Zetterberg and Freddie Andersen were all 7th Rounders.
UNACCEPTABLE!!!!
Mike e OConnell got 3 players for an underperforming Joe Thornton including Primeau who’s brother was very good with Detroit, Stuart (i forget his first name but he was a top 3 overall pick with SJ. It’s not OConnell fault his playboy model girl friend didn’t want to go to Boston)
And Marco Sturm the best player in the history of Germany - a big place with I think more people then Canada.
Actually quite a haul
He drafted Bergeron, Krejci and signed Tim Thomas

Takes talent to find gems like Bergy Krejci and Thomas. Not all of us have manufactured dynasties rewarded for tanking and fixing drafts like Pitt or a team Chicago who had to be horrible for a decade to acquire 2 premier players. Teams like Boston and LA i respect a lot more bc they built their teams based on good management

I agree with most of this, but Boston was also “gifted” Seguin and managed to **** that up royally. I like where they are right now, but if they had kept him or got fair value on a trade, they would be in even better shape IMO.
They took a risk for that Seguin pick

What is the lowest first round draft slot the Bruins have had with their own pick since they picked Hamill over a decade ago ?Takes talent to find gems like Bergy Krejci and Thomas.

Here's a rundown, since 2007:What is the lowest first round draft slot the Bruins have had with their own pick since they picked Hamill over a decade ago ?
I believe it’s 14
But but buhhhhh.....but Pittsburgh has the blue printHere's a rundown, since 2007:
2007 - 8th - Hamill
2008 - 16th - Colborne
2009 - 25th - Caron
2010 - Traded own 1st to FLA, who traded it to LAK. Ended up 15th overall. Bruins picked Seguin with the 2nd pick (From TOR)
2011 - Traded own 1st (30th) to TOR, who traded it to ANA. Bruins picked Hamilton 9th with TOR's 1st rounder.
2012 - 24th - Subban
2013 - No 1st - Traded to DAL in Jagr trade
2014 - 25th - Pastrnak
2015 - 13 - Picked Zboril with LAK's pick
- 14 - Picked DeBruck with own 14th
- 15 - Picked Senyshyn with CAL's pick
2016 - 14 - McAvoy
- Picked Frederic with SJS's pick
2017 - 18 - Vaakaneinen
2018 - Traded own 1st to NYR in Nash trade. Pick went to OTT on draft day. Pick ended up 26. Bruins did not have a pick in the 1st round.
So, Bruins have picked (with their own picks) 25th (twice), 24th, 18th, 16th, 14th (twice), and 8th (which was Hamill). Certainly not Chicago, sucking for a decade to get good players.
But but buhhhhh.....but Pittsburgh has the blue print
5 Whitney
1 Fleury
1 Crosby
2 Malkin
2 Jo Staal
STOP!! You're making me twitch!I sometimes wonder how different the last decade would've been if Chiarelli just picked Couture over Hamill.
Spot on.
He needs an editor. Stream of consciousness writing at it's best. I have an energy drink before I tackle the long ones.
At least you own up to it. That's not a bad thing.if I could have an editor... yes please
I promise my fellow board members if I win me a huge lottery here in Canada, an editor for my posting will be the first luxury I pony up for.
until then... my unconscious will probably prevent any amount of self control. as always I apologize to those who find the wall of text offensive. and I accept many will tune me out
also props to those who notice im a little bit passive aggressive with some of my snarky comments {its not a trait im proud of and believe it or not I self edit out about 90% of the ones I origionally type}
sometimes I feel its necessary for my own level of anger management to let the odd one sneak through. for those who have accused me of being arrogant I wont take exception. I cant soft sell it.
I take my bruins very passionately. I spend maybe 25 hours a week obsessing about my bruins. ive done it for over 40 years now. I spend way more time on the bruins then I do my wife... or... my job even lol
if someone is pushing one of my hot buttons about the bruins... I may make some snarky comments... so let me take this moment to apologize
I cant promise it wont happen again. but I will apologize
Or if Camarilli overtime shot didn’t hit Chara skate and go wideI sometimes wonder how different the last decade would've been if Chiarelli just picked Couture over Hamill.
