I’m saying that drafts in all sports are a shit show. No one knows what will come of any player selected.


Hundreds and hundreds of scouts out there doing shit for fun

lol I'm pointing out that the drafting has been total dogshit and the 2015 3 pick was the highlight of it

even though barzal was a top 10 pick, that fell into their lap, they passed on him - they also passed on svechnikov

svechnikov was a huge factor in the bruins R1 loss, he was all over us, nah lets take debrusk



I'm saying they could've let yahoo autodraft for them and wouldn't be looking at Charlie Coyle as your #1 center going into 2023

never said whatever you were talking about

I agree, but to whiff on 3 consecutive 1st round picks with so many great or even elite players taken shortly after... that's unprecedented across all sports lol

Wrong Svechnikov :P he went 2nd overall to Carolina a few years later.

The one the Wings took also busted.

Pretty much

I mean look at the 2015 prospect rankings..it’s not like they were reaching. Scouting is necessary but there’s no science to it. Could have a kid that seems like a sure thing turn out to be dogshit. Happens all the time. Then you have undrafted kids turn into all stars.

I’m just saying it’s dumb to look back on a draft after the fact and say it’s the biggest reason for a lack of success when he was probably excited about the players drafted at the time.

Honestly, I think DeBrusk could still be special and Zboril is finally developed and looks like a solid piece. And if I recall, they got Carlo in round 2 that year. He’s brought up the 2015 draft multiple times and it’s just annoying lol

then don't read/respond to my topic

please tell me more about the incredible depth and talent we've drafted in your own boston bruins delusion thread


every team thats a contender relies heavily on their elcs performing and because none of our prospects worked out our god tier core aged out into the oblivion of retirement

I wish we could've drafted better and had some guys come up through the system that didn't cap out at jake debrusk

the one pick they hammered was pasta and they're went really mediocre since then

why is this so annoying that you need to go on for a page about it



it feels like every year we're standing around scratching our heads and doing mental gymnastics to figure out the value in our picks

but i'm coming out of left field somehow

Tell me, what did you think after that draft? Unless you thought it was shit and that they should’ve drafted x, y, z instead you can’t really say shit. Sure, in hindsight they should’ve drafted x, y, z but they didn’t. They’ve still been close and with a few moves here and a few moves there maybe they win another cup or two.

I’m sure you knew what all the good players taken after their 3 picks were gonna be though right? 🙄

I was praying that the team didn't just shit the bed while everyone laughed their asses off at us, you didn't even bother posting because it was so disappointing


ironically if you go back 1 page its you lashing out at family guy, basically the only reason you come around is to start shit I see

Too easy with most Boston fans

Bottom line, that 2015 draft isn’t why the Bruins are in the predicament they’re in.
