Why isn't it a major improvement with Lindholm? Coyle and Zacha earned more points in 23-24 season than Bergeron and Krejki did in 22-23, right? And they took us into the 2nd round. So why are we forgetting that? With Lindholm in the center, I see this as a big big step forward.
@LowQualityBruinsFanКүн бұрын
Because lindholm really did struggle the past few years. Last year in 75 games played he had 6 goals and 23 pts at even strength and was consistently part of negative impact lines. I believe he can bounce back but he's definitely not a sure thing.

It would be the opposite - Jeremy has an extremely aggressive agent and an even more aggressive father Lewis Gross, Jeremy's agent also represented Nylander on his recent $92 million Toronto contract. Which many think is an overpayment. I don't know them personally, but both his agent and father's business practices are well known- they are relentless & effective. I had a feeling when Jeremy demanded arbitration last season, he might regret not saving it for later, when the money & starting goalie position really counted during his prime. And he's not in his prime yet. I won't get specifics, but he's not. part of me thinks he's taking on the NHL overall, the NHL players union is pushing for higher salaries because the profits are getting crazy and players aren't making anything compared to team owners. That's a whole nother topic I don't think he deserves what he's asking at this point of his career, yet respect his taking on the nhl, like a musician taking on the music industry. But no, his agent is not sitting back thinking Jeremy isn't worth 8 million or more not Louie Gross! And certainly not his dad.

@@TheFoolintherainn If your client was having a down spell would you not opt to wait it out in the hopes that he can turn his game around? With Swaymans playoff performance, waiting to sign a deal looks like a stroke of genius on the part of the agent if that was the case. Fact of the matter is none of us know what truly goes on in these negotiations so maybe Sweeney tried to sign him in February when his game was slipping a bit but the agent turned down the offer.

I am seeing a much stronger defense corps that can easily be paired with a big defensive guy and a puck mover. In addition, they can fix the Mac problem that so many wrote about around the playoffs (ie Is he hurt, etc, etc...). So, adding Zaddy fixed a problem and set the table for 3 great pairings. Also, this should get HLindholm on track, which would be a bonus. I'd have Zaddy with Mac, but on power plays, I'd have Mac with Lohrei. Adding ELindholm will improve slotting across the top three lines, making others more effective. In addition, it puts another key faceoff guy in there. Note: Beach and Kasty are also above average faceoff guys which is a big deal in both ends, particularly in tight situations. Adding toughness is a dynamic that will spread and give confidence to the team. Just look at how they waned a bit after Lucic departed. The 2nd line RW thing is no big deal...they'll get 20+ from that position individually or collectively, which is more than DeBrusk left with, and they came in bunches. Perhaps the most exciting dynamic to come is watching players- from Providence -slot in and do it. Braz and Wotherspoon are great examples. And they have some big guys to slot in who have upside.

1) Agree 100% about Swayman. 2) DeBrusk wasn’t happy in Boston. Wanted back in Canada. He needed to go. 3) Agree about Lysell/Geeke. Players like Lysell are high risk high reward. We put up with high risk Pasta and Marchy we should give more leeway to Lysell. 4) I think our D will be our biggest strength. 5) Toughness matters. Panthers knocked Marchand out of the series and Pasta did nothing after the Tkachuk fight. We relied on our skilled players to fend for themselves. Bottom line is on the last 10 years we got knocked out of the playoffs by tougher teams. Our last cup was won because of toughness. Playoff hockey hasn’t changed that much since then.

I agree with you on DeBrusk. I wanted him to stay really bad. People don't realize how hard he works. I have much faith in Sway. Every younger player is a gamble. Even if he doesn't improve at all, we are fine. If he gets better, we are better than fine. Our goalie coaching is the global elite. The only way Sway is going is up. He doesn't get hurt, he doesn't get mad, he doesn't give a fuck. He's the Donald Trump of goaltending. Teflon Swayman. He improves his play all the time. His rebound control was bad until the second half of this year and into playoffs. This is the youngest team we've had in 10+ years. This also a much bigger and heavier team. Sweeney gave us what we asked for. Let's be honest. He filled a lot of holes and I'm impressed. This will not be the same team we've been seeing for quite some time.

He has not taken on Big boy teams in their houses - he's played Vegas, yet look at the roster- he's never taken on Mark Stone nor Jack eichel I don't think he's played McKinnon in his house? Rask had a Stanley Cup ring. Jeremy's statistics are based on a very coddled and hand-picked schedule because goalie Bob & the Bruins had the dumb luck & luxury of Linus Ullmark. When you look over the schedule Jeremy was asked to take on? Open up the rosters and check out the locations of those games. I don't think he should be paid on his potential -he's not difficult to figure out by third period, lower left post and upper right shoulder. Ask tortorella & the flyers, artemi panarin... Can't scorpion post to post. Jeremy was brought up because the covid knocked out rask and halak. Not because he was ripe. I don't count his first two seasons on NHL ice... He needs more time and to prove himself a starting goalie. The Bruins will sign him, yet if he ends up walking? We'll be more than okay. when goalie coach Bob Essesna, leaves then we are in trouble.

Here’s who to get excited about in the Bruins prospect pool. Dean Letourneau. After him, an extremely raw prospect that is likely 4-6 years away, that’s about it Outside of Letourneau and another guy that isn’t really a prospect anymore, Matt Poitras, 90% of the guys on the ice at Bruins development camp were 4th to 7th round draft picks You can rattle off as many of the needle in the haystack guys that have made the NHL after being drafted in rounds 4-7 as forwards or d-men but here are two BIG reasons why that’s nothing but wishful thinking NHL’s historic draft metrics say less than 12% of 4th to 7th round forwards and d-man selected ever make the NHL and even a fewer % have any shot at playing in the league for 5+ years Don Sweeney made 29 forward of d-men draft picks in rounds 4 through 7 from 2015 through 2023: NHL Games Played Leaders: 34 games: Oscar Steen 5 games: Jonna Koppanen That's it!!! So not a single one of the forward or d-men Don Sweeney drafted from 2015-2023 has played even 50 NHL games. The Bruins also currently have ZERO in-house 4th-7th round d-men or forwards on their team Don Sweeney’s hit rate on 4th-7th round forward or d-men draft picks in terms of any NHL games played . 2 guys out of 29 drafted from 2015-2023: 6.89% right in line with NHL Historic draft rate of less than 12% of forwards of d-men drafted making the NHL So homers... Don’t talk to me about Cole Spicer, Oscar Jelkivik, Becket Hendrickson, Riley Duran, Dan Locemelis, Jackson Edward, Frederic Brunet, Ryan Walsh. Ryan Mast and all of the other more recent 4th to 7th round draft picks Don Sweeney has made Why? Because if even one of those guys makes it to the NHL and plays even 35 NHL games, that player would have exceed all other forwards and d-men Don Sweeney has ever drafted in the 4th to 7th round. Getting the picture yet? Their Farm System isn't very good Bruins homers As for the rest of the Bruins so called higher end prospects right now.... Lysell- Make it or break it year. Many folks think he’s not ready, some do. In terms of value he’s done nothing but lose value since being drafted. Not a bust yet but hardly a can’t miss guy at this point either Merkulov- Jack Studnika part II. Lacks NHL size & speed, not good on draws, average defensively. Merkulov is not a real NHL player. Brett Harrison- Third line, limited winger at his ceiling. Slow. Slow. Slow. Trevor Kuntar- 4th line NHL grinder at his ceiling That’s it folks. That’s it. #NoBueno This is why the Bruins HAVE to keep their 1st and 2nd round draft picks moving forward. If not, their farm system will continue to produce little at the NHL level and will continue to be stocked with far too high of a percentage of 4th to 7th round, late round guys that have a very small chance of ever playing in the NHL long term or if ever at all The Bruins Farm System has never been ranked better than 26th in any of Don Sweeney's 9 years as GM These days it's universally ranked 28th to 32nd and dead last in the NHL everywhere credible farm system and prospect rankings can be found. New Farm System Rankings will come out in the next month or two for the upcoming 24-25 with the NHL entry draft now haven been conducted There is ZERO chance that the Bruins rank will be any better than that 26th -32nd range again and it far more likely to be 30th-32nd than 26th-28th. Proof? Besides well, the reality of the dearth of overall real NHL talent across the Bruins entire pipeline? The Hockey News, a very credible publication, just came out with a 2024-25 review of the Boston Bruins prospect pool/farm system post draft. Here are the highlights or should I say, lowlights.... Strengths: "Almost every team has a strength in their pipeline, but the Bruins are one of the very few teams that don’t." Weaknesses: "Everything, everywhere, all at once. I’m not talking about the critically acclaimed film from 2022. I’m talking about the Bruins' prospect system. They really do need just about everything. They don’t have many young players on the roster who will be able to make a major impact. Aside from Lysell and maybe Letourneau, they don’t have much in terms of high-impact players coming" Here's a link to that Hockey News article just in case Bruins homers want to refute more facts with opinions.

It's never been ranked better than 26th in any year of Don Sweeney's as GM anywhere and their crap farm system is universally ranked 28th-32nd and dead last in the NHL just about anywhere you can find right now This information, so facts, stats, reality ,etc. isn't the realm of you Bruins homers, so I get that it's hard for you folks to stomach But it is what outside of this market (so the national hockey media) think of the Bruins Farm System and Prospect Pool And if you and all the other Bruins homers already knew that that hit rate on 4th -7th round picks is less than 10% And that Don Sweeney's own history of forward and d-men in the draft from rounds 4 to 7 was around 6%... himself And that the only two forward or d-men he took in rounds 4 to 7 going back to the day he took the job in 2015 are Oscar Steen and his crap 34 NHL games and Jonna Koppanen and his measly 5 NHL games... Explain then why you're hyping all of these bottom of the barrel Bruins draft picks from rounds 4-7 who make up the vast majority of their crap farm system again? All of those 4th to 7th round guys... If even one of them plays 35 NHL games, that'd be better than any 4th to 7th round forward or d-men Sweeney has ever selected in those rounds as GM for the team these past 9 years Locemelis, Hendrickson, Walsh, Spicer, Brunet, Edward, Jelevik, Mast, Gasseau, Gallagher, Kuntar, Duran and Hall These are all 4th to 7th round guys. Not a single draft projection had any of these guys as Top 6 forwards or Top 4 d-men. In fact almost every draft profile on all of these guys says they "project" likely to not make the NHL That's why they were drafted in 4th to 7th round, they're not REAL NHL PLAYERS Proof? Um, Don Sweeney himself has made 29 4th to 7th round forward and d-men picks since 2015 Only two guys have played in the NHL. Steen 34 games, Koppanen, 5 games Get the picture yet as to why hyping up 4th to 7th round picks is kind of dumb yet? These prospects are all beyond longs shots as 95% of them aren't likely ever going to make the NHL and those who do, are probably just a cup of coffee guys and not real NHLers Proof? Um, the NHLs own historic 4th to 7th round draft metrics which say less than a 10% of them will ever play a shift and less than 5% will play 5+ years in the NHL And Don Sweeney's own hit rate on 4th to 7th round forward and d-men from 2015-23 2 out 29 from 2025-2023 4th to 7th round forward/d-men (6.89%) Here is litany of other sites that have the Bruins Farm System in toilet. Most of these are for the 23-24 season because the 24-25 farm system rankings aren't out yet. This year these same sites will have Lohrei, Beecher and Poitras as graduated which means these crap rankings are likely going down this year, well for those that don't already have the Bruins at 32 that is because there is nowhere else to go.... I know the Hockey News, Sports Illustrated, the Athletic, and on and on. None of these are credible It's Bruins homers and local KZread guys. These are the correct sources for unbiased Bruins Farm System and Prospect Pool information. Good grief . Hopefully the Bruins at least give you a free voucher for a soda and one of those terrible TD garden hot dogs for spreading their propaganda I hear Joe Haggerty is looking for an intern.

Why isn't it a major improvement with Lindholm? Coyle and Zacha earned more points in 23-24 season than Bergeron and Krejki did in 22-23, right? And they took us into the 2nd round. So why are we forgetting that? With Lindholm in the center, I see this as a big big step forward.
Because lindholm really did struggle the past few years. Last year in 75 games played he had 6 goals and 23 pts at even strength and was consistently part of negative impact lines. I believe he can bounce back but he's definitely not a sure thing.
@@LowQualityBruinsFan Makes sense. I guess I see Boston as a winning culture where someone like Lindholm will be elevated. Unrelenting optimism 😂
@@andrewlight54 hell yeah!
Lowqual! What’s up brother? Missed the past couple of videos (working). I got a question that I’m lost on. I just looked at the B’s roster ( with the new adds and minuses). I noticed that “Lucic” is still on the roster. Is he on the team going to play and if not, wouldn’t that be taking up a roster spot as well as getting paid?
@Joel-gh3qn hey buddy! Lucics contract has expired. He's just technically a Bruins UFA. The site should update by training camp.
I think the bruins team structure moves them up a tier just based on that. So I'd give them a C but push them to a B due to the structure in place.
Bruins C Tier at best. Possibly D. Would really have preferred the cap space to sign a winger over korpisalo. Unless this was all to trade for Necas. But I know I’m dreaming there. I’d honestly trade Swayman at this point for a top 6 winger.
Who’s gonna be our starter? Korpisalo?
@@user-jg4ny5mq6c yup. He won’t be as bad as he was in Ottawa. If we ended up with Necas I’d happily take my chances with Korpisalo-Bussi. But this will never happen lol
I’ve lived with my gf for 5 years and she’s a nurse, she’s gotten covid 4 or 5 times and has been exposed countless times. She’s never given it to me so there’s a chance it just skips over u, best of luck and hoping for a speedy recovery for her
It’s hard to say bruins took risks. It was basically do what they did or do nothing. Did they overpay ? Might look like that now but I think agents negotiated based on the cap going up 12 mill over the next 3 years.
They couldve went for older plays like Stamkos and Marchessault which wouldve been considered “safer” but instead they went after players in their prime with up and down production
Dude I’ll be real I’m a Sens fan but I lowkey dig ur content keep up the good work dude
Maybe Sweeney tried to sign him but Swayman's agent preferred to wait. No agent should want to sign a deal when his client is not performing up to regular standard.
It would be the opposite - Jeremy has an extremely aggressive agent and an even more aggressive father Lewis Gross, Jeremy's agent also represented Nylander on his recent $92 million Toronto contract. Which many think is an overpayment. I don't know them personally, but both his agent and father's business practices are well known- they are relentless & effective. I had a feeling when Jeremy demanded arbitration last season, he might regret not saving it for later, when the money & starting goalie position really counted during his prime. And he's not in his prime yet. I won't get specifics, but he's not. part of me thinks he's taking on the NHL overall, the NHL players union is pushing for higher salaries because the profits are getting crazy and players aren't making anything compared to team owners. That's a whole nother topic I don't think he deserves what he's asking at this point of his career, yet respect his taking on the nhl, like a musician taking on the music industry. But no, his agent is not sitting back thinking Jeremy isn't worth 8 million or more not Louie Gross! And certainly not his dad.
@@TheFoolintherainn If your client was having a down spell would you not opt to wait it out in the hopes that he can turn his game around? With Swaymans playoff performance, waiting to sign a deal looks like a stroke of genius on the part of the agent if that was the case. Fact of the matter is none of us know what truly goes on in these negotiations so maybe Sweeney tried to sign him in February when his game was slipping a bit but the agent turned down the offer.
@@neilsenior4975 we know the number on the table is approximately $8.6 something mil right now. (Remember, Pasta didn't sign his contract till September of last year and his free agency came about in July) They're holding out for more money. As Pasta did. Research Lewis Gross - look at the massive contracts he's brought in lately... And how he does it. There are statistics for players, coaches, general managers, and there's also rankings for NHL sports agents... They are more competitive than the athletes! want to be #1.. Look it up under puckpedia or one of those sites. I like your ethics! In the real world, we'd get along great. ✌️ But I'm an ole original sixer - fully aware of what Alan Eagleson 🤨 did to Bobby Orr behind his back... And it's only gotten worse. BUT - NHL needs to start paying these players more. They're so focused on expansion because only the NHL and franchises make money. They turned the coyotes moving to Utah into an expansion team so they could collect more $. But the players don't get one penny more! So there's two sides to this - but we know Lewis gross wants money.
@@neilsenior4975 I wrote you a reply but it disappeared - from what I've heard out of more reliable sources, Boston writers, we "know" that there's $8.6 something million on the table. They're holding out for more Pasta's free agency came up in July last year, he didn't sign until mid-september. Many are equating the same type of negotiation I like your ethics ✌️
I am seeing a much stronger defense corps that can easily be paired with a big defensive guy and a puck mover. In addition, they can fix the Mac problem that so many wrote about around the playoffs (ie Is he hurt, etc, etc...). So, adding Zaddy fixed a problem and set the table for 3 great pairings. Also, this should get HLindholm on track, which would be a bonus. I'd have Zaddy with Mac, but on power plays, I'd have Mac with Lohrei. Adding ELindholm will improve slotting across the top three lines, making others more effective. In addition, it puts another key faceoff guy in there. Note: Beach and Kasty are also above average faceoff guys which is a big deal in both ends, particularly in tight situations. Adding toughness is a dynamic that will spread and give confidence to the team. Just look at how they waned a bit after Lucic departed. The 2nd line RW thing is no big deal...they'll get 20+ from that position individually or collectively, which is more than DeBrusk left with, and they came in bunches. Perhaps the most exciting dynamic to come is watching players- from Providence -slot in and do it. Braz and Wotherspoon are great examples. And they have some big guys to slot in who have upside.
We're in the hockey doldrums now. If only baseball wasn't so godawful boring...but I digress. I really had hopes for Boqvist. Going to miss his energy and speed. So I guess my question is a basic one: with Boqvist and DeBrusk gone, who do the Bs have to match that speed and energy?
I'm really gunning for McLaughlin to make it in this lineup, him being signed again gives me hope for that. Scored a goal in the only game he played for us this past season.
Yup, let's remember, he scored a goal in our worst team game of the season agaisnt the islanders.
@@Fempierebut let's also remember he lost two seasons at Boston college and one in the AHL because of the panicdemic... He's lost a major chunk of time in his development. I want to see what this hometown Billerica boy can bring. When he had his chance on a really crappy Boston college team, he exploded... Team leader against All odds. He's undrafted. These guys are different, they come & go in the league, develop on their own timing. Torey Krug was another undrafted one you might remember... I wouldn't normally say this about a player with his stats - but he doesn't have any! There are plenty of good ufas out there, potential pto's the Bruins wouldn't bring him back if he wasn't worth developing - they must see something in him & also want to go after that Calder Cup I hope McLaughlin gets a breakout season this year - he's been sitting on the sidelines long enough. Let's see what he's got.
@TheFoolintherainn great work! No absolutely, what I said was a compliment. He showed up on a bad performing team. I think this guy could be a fantastic 4th/3rd liner. The fact he is a massachusetts native is also awesome. And he has a great face haha.
How bad has sways lows been. I remember ullmark was pulling his weight prior to playoffs when swayman wasn't on it. But I don't remember the severity. Minus playoffs, does the team play better with sway or ullmark in net you think?
1) Agree 100% about Swayman. 2) DeBrusk wasn’t happy in Boston. Wanted back in Canada. He needed to go. 3) Agree about Lysell/Geeke. Players like Lysell are high risk high reward. We put up with high risk Pasta and Marchy we should give more leeway to Lysell. 4) I think our D will be our biggest strength. 5) Toughness matters. Panthers knocked Marchand out of the series and Pasta did nothing after the Tkachuk fight. We relied on our skilled players to fend for themselves. Bottom line is on the last 10 years we got knocked out of the playoffs by tougher teams. Our last cup was won because of toughness. Playoff hockey hasn’t changed that much since then.
If neither Lindholm or Swayman live up to expectations, the Bs are hosed for at least the next five years. Lindholm has only had one breakout season in 12 years and Swayman has never been a full-time starting goalie. Eeks.
Why is it assumed that zadorov is gonna play with Mac? I'd love to see Mac and Lindy as our top pair, let Carlo play with Lohrei and have a very strong 3rd pair in peeke zadorov.
I would watch you do an Elden ring stream one day since the DLC is out
Are the roster spots pretty much locked or is there a chance for some stud wildcard to emerge in the top lines? This is a newish Bruins team. Is the one Pasternak line capable of carrying while the youth settle in?
What kind of leash do you see monty giving Beecher, Poitras, and lohrei next year, especially if they bring up lysell too?
This swayman situation has me nervous as hell. It doesn't take this long unless there's a serious problem.
IMO they should pay the man, he IS the goaltender of the present and future. I knew from day one the kid was talented.
I agree Jake was a big loss. Aside from production he was key on puck possession. He was a digger. But it’s water under the bridge. Looking towards the new wave, do you think Boston would be better this coming season (compared to last season) without Swayman? Don’t really want to go there, but Boston org is not a stranger to shedding talent.
I agree with you on DeBrusk. I wanted him to stay really bad. People don't realize how hard he works. I have much faith in Sway. Every younger player is a gamble. Even if he doesn't improve at all, we are fine. If he gets better, we are better than fine. Our goalie coaching is the global elite. The only way Sway is going is up. He doesn't get hurt, he doesn't get mad, he doesn't give a fuck. He's the Donald Trump of goaltending. Teflon Swayman. He improves his play all the time. His rebound control was bad until the second half of this year and into playoffs. This is the youngest team we've had in 10+ years. This also a much bigger and heavier team. Sweeney gave us what we asked for. Let's be honest. He filled a lot of holes and I'm impressed. This will not be the same team we've been seeing for quite some time.
Rutger McGroarty is being dangled at the Bruins like a candy bar to a far kid - should the Bruins jump at the chance to trade for him ?
Yes, I would trade Merkulov or Lysell and maybe a draft pick for McGroarty. Not sure what the Jets want but lets make deal.
Good to see you man. I'm pretty excited about this year. More than I have been for a long time! Hope the summer is treating you well. Take care bro.
Awesome vid, agree and disagree but love the wtf about the Sens hahaha
Lots of guys fighting for spots Poitras better bring his A Game. You should do a line up projection video comparing the competition in each spot.
Omg Geekie ❤ You love him so much. Is Thursday livestream from his living room.
Hahaha. Low Qual has him as a 3rd liner tops. Bs have him everywhere. Geekie is where plays die at times was said a lot last year.
@coachd13 you have so many guys fighting for 4th line time Beecher, Kastilic, Jones will be on that list and who else could slip down looking for minutes from top 9. Possibly Brazeu, Merkolov, Geekie, Poitras, Fredric, the new Kid Morales. And Richard. My problem with this plan is you aren't developing these kids properly. I know Monty says you have to win games, and that is what he is paid to do. First line is locked Zacha Lindholm Pasta But better to rest guys on second and 3rd to develop young talent. Marchand could use some rest games this season. You also need to develop these young centers into true future centers when Coyle is gone in the future. 2nd line project Marchand Coyle Merkulov/Lysell/ Geekie/ Fredric 3rd line Poitras Fredric Brazeu Monty will have to real access all of this new talent well. Not his best strength. Agree or disagree?
Having no hockey has made me realize how much I really love and NEED your videos my man! You are so underrated and I appreciate everything about you brother, always here to put out great content and validate our feelings and worries. God I can’t wait for the season to start, love you Lowqual and Go B’s!
Omg I’m a puck head 😂😂😂
Agree man. I die a little each day of the off-season. Only to be brought back from the brink on the first game of the regular season.
Thursday Stream Party 🎉 Lysell looked smooth playing with Brazeu. He looks like he gels with bigger guys and the cycle with Merkulov is sweet. I wouldn't mind moving up Trent Fredric with Coyle and Marchand since he looks great with Coyle. Third line of Brazeu Geekie and lysell. Lysell will make both of them look good. Add in competition with Merkulov and you have Lysell chasing for points. 😮
Mooooooggggg!
Still like pairing Freddy with Coyle
Do u believe shampoo is soap, conditioner, body wash and shower shaving cream?
Swayman has never been an NHL starter and has only had 1 very good playoff run! He is a 6.5 - 7.5m per yr goalie right now....he does NOT yet deserve 8.5 - 10m
Same with Rask before his big contract, though. And Rask's was still a bigger cap % than Swayman's is projected to be. Bruins know good goalies when they see them.
@jeffw3092 I think their hold up is term.....they probably wanna lock him up 7-8yrs and he probably wants a bridge type deal knowing the salary cap goes up next year again!
@@jeffw3092I agree with this comment. Jeremy is not worth $8 million plus right now. Jeremy took on a Toronto team without auston Matthews, whether he was skating or not. He has not taken on Big boy teams in their houses - he's played Vegas, yet look at the roster- he's never taken on Mark Stone nor Jack eichel I don't think he's played McKinnon in his house? Rask had a Stanley Cup ring. Jeremy's statistics are based on a very coddled and hand-picked schedule because goalie Bob & the Bruins had the dumb luck & luxury of Linus Ullmark. When you look over the schedule Jeremy was asked to take on? Open up the rosters and check out the locations of those games. I don't think he should be paid on his potential -he's not difficult to figure out by third period, lower left post and upper right shoulder. Ask tortorella & the flyers, artemi panarin... Can't scorpion post to post. Jeremy was brought up because the covid knocked out rask and halak. Not because he was ripe. I don't count his first two seasons on NHL ice... He needs more time and to prove himself a starting goalie. The Bruins will sign him, yet if he ends up walking? We'll be more than okay. when goalie coach Bob Essesna, leaves then we are in trouble.
Hello? Swayman signing? Hello? Why the delay? Get it done!

Ayup, SO gonna miss Debrusk!
I have a lot of hope and I’m a BIG fan of Jackson Edward, i truly believe he can reach the NHL in 2 years and be a solid 3rd pairing. He played really well a the memorial cup. He’s been a solid d for a great team during his junior years, i personally believe that a player grow a lot from playing with a winning team. If he can adjust his physicality to the nhl (not taking too much penality) he will be good a Kevan miller
It was great meeting you at Dev camp and talking Bruins hockey with you. What an unexpected surprise to hear my sons name mentioned in the video. Very cool. He asked if I was in on it (you know I wasn't). I have been watching your videos for at least a year and meeting the man behind the madness makes it that much better. Thanks for helping make our dev camp experience a memorable one and keep speaking your Bs truth! 🏒
@frankbeans1269 it was great to meet you too! The dev camp was so much fun and meeting you guys was definitely a highlight. I hope he crushes these tryouts coming up!
Here’s who to get excited about in the Bruins prospect pool. Dean Letourneau. After him, an extremely raw prospect that is likely 4-6 years away, that’s about it Outside of Letourneau and another guy that isn’t really a prospect anymore, Matt Poitras, 90% of the guys on the ice at Bruins development camp were 4th to 7th round draft picks You can rattle off as many of the needle in the haystack guys that have made the NHL after being drafted in rounds 4-7 as forwards or d-men but here are two BIG reasons why that’s nothing but wishful thinking NHL’s historic draft metrics say less than 12% of 4th to 7th round forwards and d-man selected ever make the NHL and even a fewer % have any shot at playing in the league for 5+ years Don Sweeney made 29 forward of d-men draft picks in rounds 4 through 7 from 2015 through 2023: NHL Games Played Leaders: 34 games: Oscar Steen 5 games: Jonna Koppanen That's it!!! So not a single one of the forward or d-men Don Sweeney drafted from 2015-2023 has played even 50 NHL games. The Bruins also currently have ZERO in-house 4th-7th round d-men or forwards on their team Don Sweeney’s hit rate on 4th-7th round forward or d-men draft picks in terms of any NHL games played . 2 guys out of 29 drafted from 2015-2023: 6.89% right in line with NHL Historic draft rate of less than 12% of forwards of d-men drafted making the NHL So homers... Don’t talk to me about Cole Spicer, Oscar Jelkivik, Becket Hendrickson, Riley Duran, Dan Locemelis, Jackson Edward, Frederic Brunet, Ryan Walsh. Ryan Mast and all of the other more recent 4th to 7th round draft picks Don Sweeney has made Why? Because if even one of those guys makes it to the NHL and plays even 35 NHL games, that player would have exceed all other forwards and d-men Don Sweeney has ever drafted in the 4th to 7th round. Getting the picture yet? Their Farm System isn't very good Bruins homers As for the rest of the Bruins so called higher end prospects right now.... Lysell- Make it or break it year. Many folks think he’s not ready, some do. In terms of value he’s done nothing but lose value since being drafted. Not a bust yet but hardly a can’t miss guy at this point either Merkulov- Jack Studnika part II. Lacks NHL size & speed, not good on draws, average defensively. Merkulov is not a real NHL player. Brett Harrison- Third line, limited winger at his ceiling. Slow. Slow. Slow. Trevor Kuntar- 4th line NHL grinder at his ceiling That’s it folks. That’s it. #NoBueno This is why the Bruins HAVE to keep their 1st and 2nd round draft picks moving forward. If not, their farm system will continue to produce little at the NHL level and will continue to be stocked with far too high of a percentage of 4th to 7th round, late round guys that have a very small chance of ever playing in the NHL long term or if ever at all The Bruins Farm System has never been ranked better than 26th in any of Don Sweeney's 9 years as GM These days it's universally ranked 28th to 32nd and dead last in the NHL everywhere credible farm system and prospect rankings can be found. New Farm System Rankings will come out in the next month or two for the upcoming 24-25 with the NHL entry draft now haven been conducted There is ZERO chance that the Bruins rank will be any better than that 26th -32nd range again and it far more likely to be 30th-32nd than 26th-28th. Proof? Besides well, the reality of the dearth of overall real NHL talent across the Bruins entire pipeline? The Hockey News, a very credible publication, just came out with a 2024-25 review of the Boston Bruins prospect pool/farm system post draft. Here are the highlights or should I say, lowlights.... Strengths: "Almost every team has a strength in their pipeline, but the Bruins are one of the very few teams that don’t." Weaknesses: "Everything, everywhere, all at once. I’m not talking about the critically acclaimed film from 2022. I’m talking about the Bruins' prospect system. They really do need just about everything. They don’t have many young players on the roster who will be able to make a major impact. Aside from Lysell and maybe Letourneau, they don’t have much in terms of high-impact players coming" Here's a link to that Hockey News article just in case Bruins homers want to refute more facts with opinions. Again, not my words, this is from the Hockey News Bruins Homers thehockeynews.com/news/nhl-prospect-pool-overview-2024-25-boston-bruins-still-gamble-the-future-for-the-now
@robertforte6697 1. The hockey news is not very credible. A looot of clickbaiters over there 2. This is common knowledge that you're shouting out as if it's some new information. We know later round picks don't make the nhl frequently, we know we don't have a bunch of nhl ready guys pushing to make the team and we know that most of these guys won't be remembered 3 years down the road. Its fun talking about the players and getting excited about certain strengths and weaknesses. Fans like to get excited about potential and even more so if the odds are against them. That's why people get so attached to 4th line grinders. They're clawing their way into the league and people relate to that struggle and the hope of making an impact. A little optimism might do you some good.
@@LowQualityBruinsFan okay how about every other hockey based publication that's staffed by former players, scouts, execs & journalists who cover the league full time? You homers say they're all wrong too And that it's the Bruins Homer community, who are the experts 😭😭 The sane homers who deny facts & stats or say stats are real when it suits them but not if the stats don't: support their cause, in other words the Joe Hagerty special Also Don Sweeney's hit rate 2015-23 on 4th to 7th round forward or d-men in the draft? 29, 4th to 7th round draft picks at forward & defense from 2015-2023 Hit on two guys 29/2= 6.89% Those two incredible draftees? Steen 34 NHL ganes Koopanen: 5 NHL games Are these facts real or false? They're real but you'll deny them ad nauseum Just like the Charlie Coyle debate Homers: say he's a real 2c look at that 60 point regular season Reality come playoff time: Charlie Coyle's last three post season combined totals: (4 lousy goals & only 1 at even strength -8 for a defensive guy that's bad 47% at the Faceoff dot which again is bad? So are Coyle's post season stats any less real than his regular season stars? Bruins Homer Nation thinks the post season stars are not real and or dumb, which is beyond ridiculous These are the sane homers who say Don Sweeney is the best GM in the league & they point to regular season point totals But ignore reality with the bad stuff such as... -8 of 9 years Sweeney's Bruins have failed to win more than 1 playoff round -9 years as GM and his Bruins have won ONE 2nd round series, ONE? So is only Don Sweeney's winning % in the regular season real and his playoff winning % all lies? Bruins Homer Nation thinks so which again is ridiculous I can give you 7-10 sites that have the Bruins farm system ranktd in the toilet at 26th-32nd and most of them have the Bruins 30th-32nd But other than more Homer based opinions where you deny every stat & fact available alongside actual history Like Don Sweeney's hit rate on 4th to 7th round forwards & dmem, a lousy, but league average 6.89% Ot Don Sweeney's crap playoff record Or Charlie Coyles crap post season stats All the bad facts and stats, all lies according to Bruins Homer Nation 😭 But just provide any sites that rank the Bruins farm system any better than 25th and again even if you can find even one that has them at 25, almost everywhere else they are at 28 - 32 & dead last But prove me wrong Instead of continuing to deny facts, stats, history & what's happened on the ice Provide some other resource other than homer based opinions based on nothing That says the Bruins prospect pool & Farm System is ranked 24th or better. Go!!! :😭😭 Spooler alert those links aren't coming not because you won't try to do the research because even you deep down know those links don't exist :)
Did you even read what I said? The average hit rate on those picks is well known across the league at around 5 percent. I didn't say you were wrong, I said we all already know this. You don't really pay attention huh?
@@LowQualityBruinsFan You lost all credibility when you said the Hockey News isn't a reputable hockey publication. Why bother paying attention after that. Plus it's not like you're not one of the reigning champions of all things Bruins Homersim on KZread, so taking much of anything you say with any level of credibility regarding the Bruins would likely be a fool's errand And my points stays the same no matter how many excuses you want to make for your savior Don Sweeney or how much Bruins Homer hype you want to give about prospects and a farm system that is universally ranked as TRASH by every hockey media entity outside of Boston The Bruins Farm System stinks. It's never been ranked better than 26th in any year of Don Sweeney's as GM anywhere and their crap farm system is universally ranked 28th-32nd and dead last in the NHL just about anywhere you can find right now This information, so facts, stats, reality ,etc. isn't the realm of you Bruins homers, so I get that it's hard for you folks to stomach But it is what outside of this market (so the national hockey media) think of the Bruins Farm System and Prospect Pool And if you and all the other Bruins homers already knew that that hit rate on 4th -7th round picks is less than 10% And that Don Sweeney's own history of forward and d-men in the draft from rounds 4 to 7 was around 6%... himself And that the only two forward or d-men he took in rounds 4 to 7 going back to the day he took the job in 2015 are Oscar Steen and his crap 34 NHL games and Jonna Koppanen and his measly 5 NHL games... Explain then why you're hyping all of these bottom of the barrel Bruins draft picks from rounds 4-7 who make up the vast majority of their crap farm system again? All of those 4th to 7th round guys... If even one of them plays 35 NHL games, that'd be better than any 4th to 7th round forward or d-men Sweeney has ever selected in those rounds as GM for the team these past 9 years Locemelis, Hendrickson, Walsh, Spicer, Brunet, Edward, Jelevik, Mast, Gasseau, Gallagher, Kuntar, Duran and Hall These are all 4th to 7th round guys. Not a single draft projection had any of these guys as Top 6 forwards or Top 4 d-men. In fact almost every draft profile on all of these guys says they "project" likely to not make the NHL That's why they were drafted in 4th to 7th round, they're not REAL NHL PLAYERS Proof? Um, Don Sweeney himself has made 29 4th to 7th round forward and d-men picks since 2015 Only two guys have played in the NHL. Steen 34 games, Koppanen, 5 games Get the picture yet as to why hyping up 4th to 7th round picks is kind of dumb yet? These prospects are all beyond longs shots as 95% of them aren't likely ever going to make the NHL and those who do, are probably just a cup of coffee guys and not real NHLers Proof? Um, the NHLs own historic 4th to 7th round draft metrics which say less than a 10% of them will ever play a shift and less than 5% will play 5+ years in the NHL And Don Sweeney's own hit rate on 4th to 7th round forward and d-men from 2015-23 2 out 29 from 2025-2023 4th to 7th round forward/d-men (6.89%) Here is litany of other sites that have the Bruins Farm System in toilet. Most of these are for the 23-24 season because the 24-25 farm system rankings aren't out yet. This year these same sites will have Lohrei, Beecher and Poitras as graduated which means these crap rankings are likely going down this year, well for those that don't already have the Bruins at 32 that is because there is nowhere else to go.... I know the Hockey News, Sports Illustrated, the Athletic, and on and on. None of these are credible It's Bruins homers and local KZread guys. These are the correct sources for unbiased Bruins Farm System and Prospect Pool information. Good grief . Hopefully the Bruins at least give you a free voucher for a soda and one of those terrible TD garden hot dogs for spreading their propaganda I hear Joe Haggerty is looking for an intern. You'd do great there, as like Haggerty, it doesn't seem like you live in reality when it comes to the Bruins and or certainly being unbiased in your coverage. So good luck with your application :) Here are those Farm System/Prospect Pool links for you deny more truths about: Sports Illustrated just the other day came out with their five worst prospect pools for 24-25. Guess who made the list?.
