Here is a perfect example of how to be a smart ass with no context. The comment implies that Boston struck out in this draft, sure you can say they could have had this player or that player but from that 2015 draft the Bruins have had six of their choices on their roster this year. 3 are regulars DeBrusk (2nd line LW); Carlo (2nd pair right defense 20 minutes a game)and Forsbacka-Karlson (3rd line center). Two 21 year old defensemen Zboril and Lauzon, (who are playing big minutes and developing in Providence) were called up and played multiple games quite well when 5 of the top 6 defensemen were out injured. Goalie Daniel Vladar was called up as backup when Rask was out.
And when the Bruins drafted Senyshyn (6'3" and great skater) they said he was a longer-term project- in Providence last year they had him play bottom two lines and concentrate on learning the 200 foot game. This year he is playing top lines and leads them in goals and reports are he is defensively aware and very physical. The Bruins need a 2nd line RW and he is probably going to be this by end of season.
I see a very good chance they drafted seven NHLers in the 2015 draft absolutely no reason to be frustrated.
Seeing as this was one of the strongest drafts in NHL history, and Boston had THREE picks in the first round, excuse me if I'm not in awe of their draft haul.
The fact that your team is riddled with injuries and has had guys in the line-up so far this season doesn't necessarily mean that they are legitimate NHL stars.
Ottawa has had more young players in their line-up than virtually any team out there this season but it's hardly a result of stunning draft prowess and more a combination of cost-cutting measures and our own dizzying share of injuries. Only time will tell whether any of them will pan out.
Meanwhile, there is no ambiguity about where Boeser, Konecny, Chabot, Barzal, Connor, Aho etc. etc. etc. are going to sit on their team's respective depth charts.
