A smart offensive winger that can be a difference maker in games. Very fluid skater and is constantly moving around to get in advantageous positions offensively, as well as defensively. Has a creative streak, as well as refined puck skills. Has the size to be a physical factor in the game, and knows when and how to use it. Will need to work on rounding out his defensive game, transitioning quicker, and keeping puck possession, but he knows where he can improve, and strives to do so on and off the ice. All-in-all, a cunning, motivated offensive forward whose presence pays dividends for his team at the end of the day. (Curtis Joe, EP 2015) -

4 second rounders and they take a second rounder in the first.

Sweeney could have gone Zboril, Barzal, and Connor there and regained some confidence from me.

Instead, he did this.

F-U-C-K.

I'm not joking. I think this is one of the darkest days in Bruins history. And definitely the darkest day that doesn't involve a game being played and lost.

Jesus fucking christ.  It's like he plans on getting fired by the Bruins and going to Montreal, and wanted to make sure the organization was totally, and irreconcilably fucked when that happens.

So remember a few days ago we mentioned that part of the problem this organization had was that they drafted like absolute garbage through their contending years?
 
Yeah, they didn't learn from that.

Days like today can take half a decade to dig out of.

Between here and everywhere.
I don't understand a single thing that happened today.

This is what it's like to be a fan of the Leafs, or the Jets, or...


Fuck. This is not a good feeling.

When you took the job in May could you imagine absolutely fucking over the organization just a month later?

Don is a very honest man.  He said, "we just went in a different direction."  Can't dispute that.

"We had a very successful team that won a Stanley Cup. We decided to go in a different direction."

Got it.

They drafted alright in the first round of 2010 and 2011, and clearly have vowed never to repeat those mistakes.

A year and a half ago, they were the President's Trophy winners. They're now in the conversation for worst team in the league. I don't doubt for a second that they're intentionally trying to sink this ship, for financial reasons or otherwise.

It was much more fun when we outsourced our tank to the Leafs. Sweeney seems far too eager and capable of commanding the tank on his own.

All their picks were two way gritty players. It's beginning to look like Kelly, Campbell and McQaid were Neely/Sweeney's thing.

Sweeney's gonna trade those 3 second rounders for Hanafin. Just let him do his job, ok Denis Leary?

So…………you guys don't like these picks?  (I know nothing about these guys but from what you guys are saying, I shouldn't be too optimistic!)
