    JFK will be entering his «put up or shut up season» whenever the 20-21 season starts

    And the fact that 2 players (not goalies) are 22 here shows me that they NEED to win either this year or next one...

    Studnicka, Beecher and Vaakanainen look good at least

    The Bruins window is definitely not as far open as it once was. You know what, if there's a team that will land Eichel I have a feeling it's them. Chara is on a year to year basis. Bergeron and Rask are still great but aging. With not much in the pipeline, I could see them going to great lengths to try and get Eichel to fill in for Bergeron, they have the young talent to possibly get it done.

    You could make a case for Frederic and add him over Koppanen at least, who will probably never be an NHL player.

    Hall/McFaul otherwise. Idk much about Shen but him as well. Or even Keyser.

    Aside that, agreed.

    The whole 100 games in the AHL disqualification seems really arbitrary. Tons of successful prospects have played 100 games in the AHL.

    JFK signed a two year deal in his home country. He stated that he intends to return to North America, and to boston, but he wanted to be home for a couple years. Next year is a tough year to be a put up or shut up year if he’s not on the continent.

    Dont rule them out though, people are very quick to underrate the bruins prospects.
    Stud, Vaak, and Beecher will all be pretty good.

    But also guys like Lauko have become better than expected, and guys like Zboril and Senyshyn are not busts just yet.
    In Senyshyns few NHL games this past season he looked very comfortable and played pretty well. Some guys just dont play well in the AHL and then boom with the big boys

    Also the goalie prospects... Swayman was nearly a hobey baker winner, Vladar was lights out in the AHL, and Keyser was an OHL beaut, though he had an off season

    After 50 NHL or 100 AHL games, I look at guys as pros as opposed to prospects. Yes they can still turn out into great players but they aren’t necessarily a prospect anymore

    I think you’re in a preposterously small majority in those definitions. It is such a common route for a guy to get drafted, play two more years of junior, and then two more years in the AHL before becoming an NHLer. It’s just commonplace. How about euro’s that don’t have their major junior rights held that are AHL eligible at 18? They could be ripping up the NHL at 20 and at 19 they aren’t a prospect in your book because they played a season and a half in the AHL?

    Thats fair!
    People may disagree... but yeah ignore that dude, hes always looking for a fight.

    I would personally agree with the 50 nhl games, but maybe do like 150 AHL games or something, cuz a prospect can still play two full AHL seasons basically at that rate.

    Under the parameters of games played, I think this list is pretty good. I think i would have players like Cooper Zech or Victor Berglund ahead of Koppanen, but thats a matter of opinion. Koppanen has been up and down from the A to the Coast often, Vladar might be a touch high for me but Goalies are hard to judge and he did have a really really good year. I probably would swap Beecher for Steen due to Steen's adjustment year to the North American game, but i wouldnt be surprised if he turned it around next year, and made a legit run at the big club. All in all, pretty solid!!

    Well if you want to avoid any sort of critical comments, maybe just do them for yourself and then don’t hit publish. Or do a better job. Either one.

    Haahah, love how passionate you are about this. If Frederic had been on the list you'd be happy as a clam.

    It’s just academic. The bruins have two prospects that are high value and the rest are jumbled.

    Nobody else is making any comments about it like that. You are, again, alone

    You could give him a kind suggestion such as my own! "I would personally agree with the 50 nhl games, but maybe do like 150 AHL games or something, cuz a prospect can still play two full AHL seasons basically at that rate." ... Kind, but gets the point across!

    Totally man, like you said 150 ahl games, or 200 pro games would be a good measure but also it was just @itwasin 's way of looking at it. He never said that guys like Senyshyn, Zboril, Frederic, etc. are over the hill or wont pan out, he in fact acknowledged that guys like that make it all time. The nice part about this way of doing is it brings light to couple names particularly Curtis Hall, that maybe would be on the outside looking in on many Bruins prospects list, who had a really good year at Yale this year!

    Also, Quinn Olson is a sneaky prospect too. Had an undercover year on a really good team UMD. Won rookie of the year for the team.

    Absolutely boys! and i agree! Senyshyn isnt a "prospect" in that sense of it, and while I still would call him one, you guys are entitled to not believe that cuz hes like 24.
    But yeah! You also said they can still boom at like 25/26! So we are on the same page!!
    Bcarlo25 comes here to yell at and argue with everyone. I have tried getting the admin to look into him but alas, i am wrong because I must have "thicker skin" to post on public forums.
    But i mean being told "Well if you want to avoid any sort of critical comments, maybe just do them for yourself and then don’t hit publish. Or do a better job. Either one." probably doesnt feel good im guessing right @ItWasIn so i mean just letting u guys know: ignore him, he isnt a good representation of a bruins fan
