Quoting: pharrow
Studnicka isn't Barzal, and their prospect pool is not deep. If it was, they would be using it. They lack depth scoring. They don't have guys who can fill that role.
Every team likes to hype prospects, it doesn't mean they are actually difference makers.
This team like all good teams is going to age out. the question is when. It happens to every good team. They are no different. Which is why they should sell out and go for the cup.
That's what you build a team for. This is the best shot they will probably have in the next 10 years.
Well you just proved me right by saying "they would be using it.". Due to the amount of injuries this season, the bruins have called up Studnicka, Frederick, Bjork, Senyshyn, Lauzon (briefly), Urho, Cam Hughes, and a few other non-prospects (Guance, Carey, Kampher). So yes you are in fact wrong and you just proved it.
@Shaamwae is entirely correct too. So please listen to them. I am not saying he is exactly like Barzal, but it is a stretch to say that the bruins "won't have a single 1C on the whole team"
Also the key word was "underrated". Im sure you watch nhl network or NBC who all want to say the bruins are the 25th best prospect pool. That is simply so wrong lol. Like Marchy and Lucic and Bergy and literally half of their team, a lot of the bruins good guys come from the second and third round and nobody wants to accept that they may be good untill they are the Selke winner or a 100 point player lol
