Description

Don't know what pick Boston will have, but I just tried to go within the general area of where prospects might fall to the late second round. Biggest need I'd like them to address is more depth at the right handed defensive position. Bruins have a ton of left handed defenseman, it's time to think about more right shot players.

I also believe the depth at the right wing position is weak. One pick won't solve that problem, but it would definitely help.

FORWARDS
1) Dylan Peterson-#43 NA Skater- 6'4 192lbs right handed Center. power forward, in your face player. Committed to Boston University.
2) Oliver Suni- 6'2 190lbs two way winger. Finnish
3) Luke Evangelista-#39 NA Skater- 5'11 RW offensive playmaker.
4) Brandon Coe- #35 NA Skater- 6'4 190lbs RW. Said to have talent of a first rounder, however he can't stay consistent or doesn't show up often
5) Maxim Groshev-#25 EU Skater- 6'2 194lbs RW/LW left shot. two way winger from Russia
6) Theodor Niederbach-#19 EU Skater- 5'11 172lbs right shot two way center. has good offensive instincts and also displays a ton of grit and energy

My Pick: Dylan Peterson or Theodor Niederbach (unlikely he falls to Boston's pick)
DEFENSE
1) Eamon Powell- #51 NA Central scouting- puck moving minded right shot defender. committed to Boston College
2) Michael Benning- #57 NA Skater- right shot defender, two way. undersized at 5'9 but Bruins love their shorter dmen
3) Jack Thompson-#60 NA Skater- 6'1 right shot dman who is a two way guy, but more than likely is going to turn out to be more of a defensive minded dman at the pro level. He's gotta get stronger
4) Thimo Nickl- #74 NA Skater- right shot 6'3 190lbs defender. shutdown guy
5) Ian Moore- #47 NA Skater- right shot 6'2 170 lbs. MA native and committed to Harvard. Don't know if he'll fall to Boston
6) Mitchell Miller- #49 NA Skater- 5'11 190lbs right shot dman. puck moving and provides some physical play
7) Michael Krutil- #27 EU Skater- right shot two way dman at 6'1 190lbs. Czech Republican

My pick: Ian Moore

Based on Boston's recent draft picks, they prefer the two way forwards. I believe Dylan Peterson checks all the boxes who offers size, two way play, underrated offense, and as a bonus he's commited to BU. If he falls to Boston, I think this is the guy who they're taking

Awesome. I love when people have detailed descriptions offering insight like this. Helps the entire community learn a little extra. Jack Thompson is a guy I was looking up yesterday. Seems like he could be a stable reliable option.

I would be shocked to see Ottawa pass on Peterson 4 times in the 2nd. He checks so many of their boxes it's insane. Big American Centre with ties to the city of Ottawa. Two way player who competes hard. He's committed to the NCAA, but his rights are owned by the 67's. All he's missing is a former NHL player as a father and you'd basically have Sens prospect bingo.

I don't necessarily want him, but with four 2nds I would be willing to put a significant amount of money on the Sens taking him.

haha I wouldn't doubt it. He's definitely a guy I'd love on the Bruins. Based on the Bruins picks with Frederic and Beecher, this guy is a similar player to them which is why I think they'd take him if he's there (which could be a stretch). Unless Boston takes a different approach

Yup Jack Thompson was a guy who seemed intriguing to me as well. It was honestly a coin flip to me between Ian Moore and Jack Thompson. Even though I like an offesnive guy like Eamon Powell, it'd be nice to see Boston address a more defensive stable right handed dman with their pick due to having a decent amount of puck moving left shot dmen

Later picks I will always lean towards stable d over offensive. It’s a crap shoot might as well pick the one that at least understands his position.
