00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:49,560
thing you can do right now, if you're already starting

32
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,680
to think about the summer and the draft and all

33
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,879
those things coming up, is you could join our patreon.

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200
What do you got going and cooking over at the Patreon?

35
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, good stuff. Over there.

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: We have our website where you can access the ranks, tiers,

37
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,560
all the lists and for the twenty twenty fives will

38
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,000
be coming up soon and then we will integrate them

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,560
into the rest of the ranks and list. We have

40
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,599
ranks per team and so you can see all of

41
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:20,560
that and a great visualization. You can also see that

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,560
really hard to find blocks, shots and hits for those

43
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,879
prospects over there, And of course that's a great place

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,719
to be able to play in our tier dynasty, which

45
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:33,759
we focused on last week's episode, and really over the

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,680
off season we're going to.

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: Be filling in any empty spots.

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: It's a good time to get in and add another

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,719
really fun league to your list. And over the summer too,

50
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,120
we'll also be doing some bonus content Patroon casts all

51
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:48,879
kinds of good stuff over there, so check that out

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,759
at patreon dot com slash fantasy Hockey.

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,319
Speaker 3: All right, we will wait no longer. We'll be right

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:04,560
back to talk past book. Welcoming back to the show.

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,159
It is Ludo Shinzala, the man from the Athletic who

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,400
loves to cover those Boston Bruins. Fludo, how you doing today?

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 6: Very good, Jesse, happy to be here.

58
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. We follow your work all year and then

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,759
once a year we get a shot at you to

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,479
talk about the team. And this is an unfortunately early

61
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,360
date for us to be doing our offseason preview of

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,199
the Bruins. I don't think it's a The Bruins outperformed expectations.

63
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:32,919
I think for years throughout the late Berge run era,

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
there were doubters, there were skeptics the whole time. They

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,840
kept it up. They had the one seed at some

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,599
points and definitely were consistently a playoff team. Just yesterday,

67
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,439
it seems like they were buying at the deadline, but

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,319
the bottom fell out this year. After a slow start,

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,280
the team fired coach Jim Montgomery, and after defeating the

70
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:54,159
Minnesota Wild on February fourth, to pick an arbitrary date,

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,599
the team was still twenty seven, twenty two and six,

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
and from there to the end of the season six

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,039
seventeen and four, at one point a ten game winless streak.

74
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:10,199
They probably wisely sold at the deadline, including franchise mainstay

75
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,599
Brad marchand also headed out Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo Trent Frederick,

76
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,879
Justin BRAZIAU. They came back with draft capital and some

77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120
players that will certainly beginning to later in this preview.

78
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:23,959
And from what I understand, and you were probably there,

79
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,079
the season ended in a somewhat tense press conference just

80
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,879
after a takedown day. Is the state of the franchise

81
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:36,319
in Boston belief it's time for a reboot, an attempt

82
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:38,240
to do what the Caps did a couple of years ago,

83
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000
that half step back and then able to jump back

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,079
into contention something in between. What are your takes on

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,120
this season, Fluido?

86
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,519
Speaker 2: I think that Washington example is a good one, Jesse

87
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,279
in terms of and the Bruins benefited from that two

88
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,160
years ago they got Orlov and they got Hathaway. When

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Washington decided, okay, it's time to try and do this

90
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,199
on the fly. I don't know that the Caps were

91
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,560
necessarily thinking it was going to be this quick and

92
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,199
this good. But you look at the steps that they

93
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:11,879
put in place. They get a new coach, young, sharp, dynamic,

94
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,160
good communicator, good at motivating guys. They make their moves

95
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:21,680
in terms of upgrading in goal the d with Chickrin.

96
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:26,360
They look up front they get du Bois. But Spencer Carberry,

97
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,680
the Caps were in Boston in the spring, and he

98
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,199
brought up a terrific point in terms of integral to

99
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,759
that part of the turnaround were guys internal guys Faervari McMichael.

100
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,720
That they were able to draft and develop a secondary

101
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:48,720
tier of players under a Vegkin and Wilson so that

102
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
when management was ready to add via trades and via signings,

103
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,040
they had all these layers in place that just happened

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,399
to come together this season. So ideally, yes, the Bruins

105
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,120
would like to follow that template in terms of okay,

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,959
let's hire a new coach. Okay, maybe it's a proven

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,439
guy like you couldn't go wrong with Mike Sullivan, but

108
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:16,920
perhaps there's a younger coach that can grow with the team.

109
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,560
And look, any coach would like to have David Posternot,

110
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:25,920
Charlie McAvoy. I think people think that this was an

111
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,480
aberration for Jeremy Swayman just because this is the only

112
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,199
year that he's had this kind of bad performance, so

113
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,040
that there will be a regression for Jeremy next year.

114
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:40,120
So those are three significant building blocks. But the issue

115
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,040
is that secondary tier, like it's just not there. Yes,

116
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,120
they did a good job in terms of starting to

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,399
add back to that prospect pool, but this is still

118
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
like you look at some of their prospects right now,

119
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,439
there is no slam dunks in terms of who's going

120
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,279
to make the roster next year, out of American League,

121
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,800
out of college, out of wherever. It's just that's where

122
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000
they are in terms of the state of the franchise,

123
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:09,560
just because they spent so many years dealing away draft

124
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,879
capital to add guys like roll off half away and

125
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,600
you go back Rick Nash under a Kasha that this

126
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720
is just a halfas Lin home, and these are significant

127
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,759
players that were able to stretch the window of Bergeron

128
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:27,759
and Crag and Brad but it just it just ran

129
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,160
out a runway this year. So the management thinks that

130
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,399
this is still a team that can get back into

131
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,360
the playoffs next year just because of what they have

132
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,759
of those three players have as lin homes should be healthy,

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,079
that they will have money to spend.

134
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,399
Speaker 6: But do they have that.

135
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,279
Speaker 2: Group internally, No, they don't. They are in desperate need

136
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,199
of NHL players, legit NHL players, as we saw after

137
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,800
the deadline, where it's just the roster was designed to

138
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:03,759
tank and it's there's no clear succession order of players

139
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:05,920
that can come up internally. So that'll be the biggest

140
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:08,439
challenge populate the roster with NHL players.

141
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's going to be a delay of a few

142
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:14,879
days between our recording and the release, So by then

143
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,120
you're talking about the exciting young coach David carl has

144
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:20,759
been rumored. You've got Mike Sullivan now who's on the market,

145
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,560
who's going to be making a decision soon. So we

146
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,160
don't really know. By the time people are listening to this,

147
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:27,399
they may know more than us, and probably from a

148
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,319
tweet that you put out there, fluido. But and I

149
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,639
know you don't know the answer because otherwise you have

150
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,519
reported it by now. But yeah, do you have a

151
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320
sense in your heart which way the Bruins would go

152
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,960
given their druthers.

153
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: In terms of a coach, Yeah, yeah, Sully would fit

154
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,399
check a lot of boxes. There's a personal connection of

155
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,960
being a Boston guy. The guy he played with Don

156
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Sweeney and he coached him for one year, so there's

157
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,159
that relationship. He played with Joe Sacho, so maybe that

158
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,840
would encourage Joe to stay on staff and contend and

159
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,039
continue his loyalty to the organization. Of course, there's Charlie McAvoy,

160
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,519
his son in law. He'd be close to him, close

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,679
to the daughter, close.

162
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 6: To the ground, So there's yeah.

163
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: And for Mike's this would be his second go around,

164
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:14,159
and you can look back and say he wasn't ready

165
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,159
to be the head coach at thirty eight years old

166
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,200
when he got to let go his first time, So

167
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,120
obviously he's well accomplished. Now would he choose Boston over

168
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:25,000
the Rangers?

169
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: That's tough.

170
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Rangers they've got money to burn, and

171
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:33,000
they would be if you're looking at it from his perspective. Okay,

172
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Bruins have their foundational players, but you could argue that

173
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:40,679
the Rangers have better ones. Aaron Fox it's a Stirkin,

174
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:45,879
and they have other secondary players too, and he has

175
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,960
a relationship with Chris Drury and he's worked there. So

176
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,039
all signs point toward New York. But there's that personal

177
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,559
thing that might put it over the edge of being being.

178
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 6: Back home for Mike.

179
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: So if that doesn't, if that turns out to be

180
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,679
option B for Mike and it doesn't work out with Boston,

181
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,399
then I think, look, Don Swayney said, this is still

182
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,840
a prime opportunity for a coach, and deservedly so, just

183
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:17,159
because of the franchise they've always spent. They have good players,

184
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:21,559
city everything. But if a coach says, if it has

185
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,080
proven established coach looks at it and says there might

186
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,519
be better options out there, than perhaps it is time

187
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,919
to go with someone like David carl someone like j

188
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:32,279
Pandolfo who has worked here and has played here. So

189
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,240
that's my guess. If not Sullivan, then a younger guy.

190
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get to some of the good news, because

191
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,360
David Pasternak still had an excellent year and by the way,

192
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,919
for a European player, he's an awful lot of commercials.

193
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,159
I love Pasta is always on the commercials as far

194
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,480
as he's on Pepsi and dunkin Donuts I think. But anyway,

195
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:53,559
that's not what he's known for. He's known for one

196
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:55,840
hundred and six points that he scored this year in

197
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,360
a full eighty two games. He was third in the

198
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,360
league in scoring with four three goals, which was fifth,

199
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,279
sixty three assists, which was seventh. He shoots the lights out,

200
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,519
finishing only one shot from the lead with three hundred

201
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,360
and nineteen. Still in his prime, he's locked in for

202
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,639
four more years. He's shown the ability to do this

203
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,840
with this year. Undoubtedly from previous years, less of a

204
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,200
supporting cast than he had, He's still scoring and producing

205
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,360
like this. Do you expect a similar season from David

206
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Pasternak next year? Is this excellence that we had this year?

207
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 6: Yes?

208
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,639
Speaker 2: Perhaps even better, just because he had a bad start.

209
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,279
He was coming off of an injury in the offseason.

210
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480
He said it happened after World Championships, so he wasn't

211
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,639
able to train properly for a bit. I can't remember

212
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:42,840
if it was two or three weeks, but something significant

213
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:45,360
in terms of offseason training, so he wasn't ready to go.

214
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,600
Even got benched for an entire third period by Jim Montgomery.

215
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:51,960
I think it was against Seattle sometime in the fall,

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,559
just because he was taking penalties.

217
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 6: He wasn't playing.

218
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,519
Speaker 2: Well, So you consider that, and then from I think

219
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,879
it was from January first on, to be the leading

220
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,519
scorer in the league and like you said, to be

221
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,480
trained upon by opponents just because there's nobody else that you.

222
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 6: Have to worry about on the roster. Remarkable.

223
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,879
Speaker 2: So the fact that he's shooting a high volume shooter

224
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,200
obviously didn't even finish at usual rates. So that's going

225
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240
to continue. And we've seen that he is just as

226
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,759
comfortable making plays now and looking for alignments. Yeah, it's

227
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,879
and of the age and of you incorporate the motivation

228
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,240
to be part of something new here and being possibly

229
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:40,759
the captain. Yeah, all signs are there for David to continue,

230
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,279
if not improve upon what he did this past year.

231
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great stuff.

232
00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: He's a great player, and he's certainly the star player

233
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,080
on this team. The next guy we're going to talk

234
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,879
about it may be a bit of a step down,

235
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:55,679
but a great season for Morgan Geeky, and we have

236
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,200
to shout that out a bit, mostly out of necessity.

237
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,840
He was playing top line center with Pasta and they

238
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,519
needed him to do it. He was up for thirty

239
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,519
three goals, was super impressive. His previous career high was

240
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,720
seventeen goals, and he beat his total in points by eighteen.

241
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,879
It wasn't just points, though, I think Geeky's play driving

242
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,799
was pretty exceptional. Looking at his evolving hockey, he had

243
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,480
an overall score of ninety seven with ninety seven percent

244
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,519
tile on offense and seventy six for defense. So all

245
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,159
in all, he seemed to be driving the best pretty well,

246
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:28,759
although maybe that was partly just playing with poster knock.

247
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,279
But Fluido, we need to know. Do you think this

248
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,600
version of Morgan Geeky as a top line center is

249
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:36,039
going to persist? Do you think he can stay around

250
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,279
sixty plus points or do you think that there's going

251
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,320
to be some regression here?

252
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: Regression? You look at the shooting percentage, I think it

253
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:46,159
was twenty one twenty two percent, way higher than normal,

254
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,559
and then you look at the shots as not a

255
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,000
volume shooter. If you compare him to his peer group

256
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:54,240
guys who scored around thirty three in that neighborhood. I

257
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:57,480
think McKinnon had thirty two goals and we all know

258
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:02,200
how much he shoots, so yeah, it's now. Morgan has

259
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,840
a good shot, a real heavy shot, a very good

260
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,080
one timer from the left elbow, and terrific chemistry with Pasternak.

261
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:13,879
And of course he benefited from playing with David, but

262
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,279
Morgan with his self made man too that you would

263
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,000
go to the net, he would score from in tight.

264
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:21,639
He really found a good spot when they moved on

265
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,480
the power play, when they moved past over to his

266
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,559
strong side, and then Pasternak would do the slotline pass

267
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:31,360
over to Geeky at what used to be David spot

268
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,360
on the left elbow, and Geeky would have the one timer.

269
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:39,360
So it's yes, terrific year from Morgan, a terrific bargain

270
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:42,600
for the Bruins two million a year. But he's up,

271
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,159
he's and he's arbitration eligible, so if I would there's

272
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:50,879
no plans to take him away from Posternach next year,

273
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:53,639
regardless of who the coach is. And we'll see who

274
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:57,519
they play with that third forward. And he's a good player, Morgan,

275
00:14:57,639 --> 00:15:00,440
He's heavy he's physical, he'll get in there. He's fearless,

276
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:04,159
he's not afraid to shoot. But you just look at

277
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:07,639
that shooting percentage and say, boy, that's there are some

278
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,759
shots there that don't that went in that don't normally

279
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,679
go in for Morgan. So maybe if he shoots more

280
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,240
that the numbers will sustain. But thirty three goals looks

281
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,440
like and it looks like an exception.

282
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.

283
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: And Buddy brought up the contract. I'm wondering what you

284
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,639
think that they'll do with the contract being in our faith.

285
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,559
You think they'll give him a little a bridge, you

286
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,399
think they'll extend him for long term?

287
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: Do you have any thoughts on that The.

288
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,279
Speaker 2: Club wants to sign him long term? So what is that?

289
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:42,320
Five six years? And then you look at the number.

290
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 6: Who knows?

291
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:46,879
Speaker 2: If you go as arbitration, thirty three goals looks pretty

292
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,159
good in hearing now he has said that he doesn't

293
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:52,639
want to exercise that that he's heard all the stories.

294
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,279
It's just it's just not fun for the player to

295
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,440
be hearing that. And he would hear it in terms

296
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,840
of what the organization would argue in arbitration, meaning it's

297
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,480
flashing the pan I'm sure that's what they would argue

298
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,600
when it comes down to trying to argue for a

299
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:10,519
lower number. So if they can arrive at an organic solution,

300
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:15,200
I would say ideally for the club, maybe five million.

301
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,960
AV Morgan probably a little higher.

302
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:18,879
Speaker 6: I don't know.

303
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,159
Speaker 2: Let's put the difference six times five point five.

304
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,639
Speaker 3: Let's say Pablo Zaka is the next of our guys.

305
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:28,360
He got a full eighty two games. Also this year,

306
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,679
he played mostly in the top six Pastronok's most common

307
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,960
line mate, actually on five on five as you would

308
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,440
run the numbers in evolving hockey, although the centerment seemed

309
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,080
to rotate a bit at the end of the year.

310
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,960
He's not big in box score stats, but he plays

311
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,679
a lot of respectable minutes twenty ninth to Monks NHL forwards.

312
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,039
He's pretty successful at face offs. Part of me thinks

313
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,519
this is another reasonably affordable piece that they could have

314
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,960
tried to trade in the deadline. But then, like you said,

315
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
with those second tier players, if you really look at

316
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,320
their roster, there's not many guys left. He is on

317
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,679
an affordable contract. Plus there's a partial not trade clause,

318
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,839
so it wouldn't be an easy thing to do. Anyway,

319
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,839
He's not the most exciting for his fantasy folks because

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,680
he's around like a fifty point score. But what do

321
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,119
you expect for next year? Is it going to be

322
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,880
a similar type production year and have some winger duty

323
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,799
mixed in? Is he going to be a center? What

324
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,519
do you think for Zaka next year?

325
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: Fludo?

326
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he is who he is at this

327
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,480
point of his career. That yeah, forty fifty. He had

328
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,160
a career year last year, which was that that was

329
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,240
part of the reason that they couldn't hit their usual standards.

330
00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,119
That Zaka had a down year, and that's with playing

331
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,039
with Posternak. I don't know that's going to continue next year.

332
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,440
I think that Elias Lindholm had some success at the

333
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:49,200
end of the year playing center with Geeky and Postronach

334
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:52,240
and that's look, Linholm at this point of his career,

335
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,039
he's a third line center, but I understand why it

336
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,400
would work in a first lin role just because a

337
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:01,680
he can be the defensive player that line, and you

338
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,519
could disguise it just because Pasternak is so good at

339
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:09,240
driving play that you don't necessarily need a pure traditional

340
00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:12,039
playmaker to play with those two. So where does that

341
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,440
leave Zaka on Probably most like a second line center. Again,

342
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:19,240
he's not a traditional second line center. Ideally on a

343
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,559
good team, he's your third line center and he can

344
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:25,440
play what makes him valuable left wing, right wing, power play,

345
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,519
penalty kid face offs, Like, that's a valuable player in

346
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,960
terms of what a team is trying to accomplish because

347
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,240
of the versatility and good pro, good guy, low maintenance

348
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,920
all that. But yeah, point, it's just not that's not him.

349
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,480
That's he's not what Charlie Coyle used to be here

350
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,400
in Boston. Just a good player, good dependable, coach loves him,

351
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,279
throws them out there in whatever situation is needed. But no,

352
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:55,200
not a play driver.

353
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: Hey, Boston made a lot of hate with those types

354
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,279
of guys just a year ago. But yeah, he definitely

355
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:03,960
was in a big role. Elias Lindholm was a guy

356
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000
who paid off that new contract at least by taking

357
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:09,680
the ice for all eighty two games. The twelve year

358
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:12,880
Veterans production was similar to last year from when he

359
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,039
moved from Calgary to Vancouver. That year he bounced around

360
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,359
and this year is one hundred and fourteen hits and

361
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,640
seventy nine blocks were.

362
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:20,599
Speaker 4: Both career highs.

363
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,799
Speaker 3: Encouragingly, ten of his forty seven points came in the

364
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,559
last ten games, so he did finish pretty hot. And

365
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,400
you noted in your writing he may have been dealing

366
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,759
with nagging injuries throughout the year that suppressed his production

367
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,279
even more below his peak years when he was up

368
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:41,279
in Calgary with the likes of Johnny Gudreau and so forth.

369
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,799
I've read something about a back and something about a knee.

370
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:46,599
Impressive to keep coming out there with an injury in

371
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,839
a tanking situation at the end of the year. File

372
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,119
this under things that would not happen in the NBA.

373
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:53,799
Somebody with a nagging injury who doesn't just get shut

374
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,559
down for the last month. So kudos to Lindholm for

375
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,400
playing through all that. How close can Lindholm get back

376
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,680
to his Calgary Selki vote All Star set up guy

377
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,759
for him or and how close is he going to

378
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,759
be to solid centerman that he played last year for Boston.

379
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, number two. Yes, he had he hurt his

380
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,720
back day one of training camp, so that couldn't work out,

381
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:23,920
couldn't skate that. That was massive in retrospect of how

382
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,319
that affected his integration into the lineup. You know, terrible

383
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,240
luck for Lias, but I don't think he arrived in

384
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,359
his best shape either, so that's going to have to improve. Yes,

385
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,279
he finished the year and he's going to play for

386
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,119
Sweden World Championships. But yeah, he is who he is

387
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:46,160
at this point. Ideally good team third line center, face offs, PK,

388
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,160
maybe second power play like you saw that Four Nations,

389
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,680
he was very in a very narrow role fourth line center, PK,

390
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,839
no power play, the zone starts, all that.

391
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:01,319
Speaker 6: So that's who he is.

392
00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: But as noted, maybe he can be sheltered in a

393
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,920
way with Pasternak and Geeky and yeah, there was absolutely

394
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,640
chemistry there at the end of the year. But after

395
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,480
another year and who he is, can he keep pace?

396
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,559
We'll see and maybe he gets some it's insulting to say,

397
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,880
but maybe tag along numbers of playing with those two players.

398
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,200
But he is like in his role like these owned

399
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,359
faceoffs and matchup center. I don't think he's just not

400
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,440
a first power play guy, but that's what they have

401
00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:40,000
him doing playing bumper on PP one. Maybe they'll find

402
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,519
a better alternative there so that he can play a

403
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:47,079
second unit role which is more suited to who he is,

404
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,880
right now he's just there's no dynamic offense there the

405
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:59,480
good reliable pro center veteran all that, but yeah, that's

406
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:01,119
there's going down the hill.

407
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough to have many more years at seven

408
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,000
point seventy five mil for somebody who's going to be

409
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:10,359
playing that kind of role for your team. But that's

410
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,839
what the market will bear right now. The Boston really

411
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,799
needed to bring in another centerman. Speaking of more centermen

412
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,519
that they tried to bring in this year, Casey Middlestott

413
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,920
was a major part of the trade that they made

414
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,319
with the Colorado Avalanche midyear for Charlie Coyle, and he's

415
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,759
had He did have some relatively high heights or at

416
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:35,920
least higher production years closing in and a point and

417
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,880
a half a game or thereabouts for the Buffalo Sabers

418
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,200
a few years ago. He is he didn't quite do

419
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:49,240
that with either the Avalanche or with the Bruins after

420
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,920
his acquisition. He has two straight years of point paces

421
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,640
in the upper fifties, I guess at the end of

422
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,279
his Buffalo stance, whereas this year it was forty. And

423
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:02,359
this guy was straight up traded for Bowen byrom Not

424
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,920
thirteen months ago, who was a major prospect for the

425
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,880
defense on the Colorado Avalanche. I noticed that the Bruins

426
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,920
also acquired a draft pick in another prospect. And Casey

427
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,839
Middlestadt's salary is suspiciously close to Charlie Coyles in terms

428
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,480
of what they flipped there in a cap cap tight league,

429
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,200
and he's going to a team. Coyle is going to

430
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,519
a team looking for veterans to make their cut run,

431
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,759
a Cup run. Whereas middle stat maybe is I don't know,

432
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,079
he's twenty six. I don't even know if we still

433
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,319
consider him a ball of clay here. But is Middlestack

434
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,200
going to end up in a top six role for

435
00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:41,839
the Bruins any chance of power play? Tominis, What did

436
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,400
you guys see of him when he came over from Colorado?

437
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:46,559
Speaker 6: Not much?

438
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,319
Speaker 2: Underwhelming tons of skill, probably second most skilled player after

439
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,160
pastern with the puck like lights out in terms of

440
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,160
hanging on to it, waiting for openings, seeing them and

441
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,519
then getting guys pure playmaker, decent wheels vision, all that,

442
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,759
but boy light on the puck and when your coach

443
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,680
even says, oh, he's got to get stronger on the puck.

444
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,000
As a twenty six year old guy who's been around

445
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,279
in the league for a long time.

446
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,599
Speaker 6: That's just who. That's not something you want to hear.

447
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,519
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they could flip that guy just because it's

448
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:27,240
been okay. He's got top top six skill in terms

449
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,640
of being a center, of being a playmaker, but if

450
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,079
you can't trust him in the battle and he's not

451
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,400
great defensively, then the coach is going to have a

452
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,319
real tough time putting him out there in high pressure

453
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,880
offensive situations. So I wouldn't be surprised if they eat

454
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,359
some of that money and trade him, or he's going

455
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,160
to have to improve a whole heck of a lot

456
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:53,000
over the summer into training camp to be a dependable

457
00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:57,440
top because because yeah, he's not fourth line center, he's

458
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,400
not really a third line center. He's for him to

459
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:03,720
really fulfill what his pedigree was at one point, I

460
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:05,880
think it was eighth overall pick and one in his

461
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,680
draft year. That's second line center. That's what he should

462
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,519
be and he has a skill to do that, but

463
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,119
he's not going to get stronger. Then there's no way

464
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,559
any coach is going to put them put him out

465
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:22,599
there in that situation. So yeah, first popway skill, second

466
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,279
line skill all that not defensive, not PK guy, not

467
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,000
face offs, that's just pure offense. But it's just very

468
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:31,920
underwhelming player.

469
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,039
Speaker 5: All right, let's shift to a bit of a points

470
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:39,160
pick him here. A couple of the depth guys we're

471
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,319
going to talk about, Matthew Patra and Fraser Minton. So

472
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,200
between the two, Patra surprised everyone starting last season in

473
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,799
the NHL, literally than maybe someone expected. He had thirty

474
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:53,279
three games fifteen points. This season, he played the same

475
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,960
number of games but only eleven points. His actual time

476
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,680
on ice went down in the NHL, and I will

477
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,079
say that Puatra had over a point per game in

478
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,160
the AHL, so that was pretty impressive. Minton, who came

479
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,960
over in a deal from Toronto twenty one NHL games

480
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,359
five points. His h O production wasn't quite as impressive

481
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,440
half point per game, and it looks like on in

482
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:19,400
terms of play driving, Poatra was a bit better, certainly defensively,

483
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,160
Minton looked under average or a little bit like he

484
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,400
struggled in offense and defensive production. So what do you

485
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,920
think we can expect from these two? Fraser Binton Matthew

486
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,759
Patro next season?

487
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: Fludo.

488
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:33,279
Speaker 2: Neither is guaranteed to make the league just because like

489
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:35,359
if you look at this past year for Patro, that

490
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:38,440
was Bruins did him a disservice.

491
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: He wasn't ready. Okay, you could.

492
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,759
Speaker 2: Make the case he had a good camp, and again

493
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:46,359
this goes back to how short they were at center

494
00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:49,039
that they thought, Okay, his kids had a good camp.

495
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,359
He's showed some promise a lot this first year.

496
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 6: Pro Let's see if you can make the team. And

497
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:54,559
he did.

498
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,839
Speaker 2: Okay, you can understand that, but then he did nothing.

499
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,960
He got sent down and then he got called back

500
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,839
up and was you could argue he was even worse,

501
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,640
and that was just killed his Confidence's you can't do

502
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,680
that as a team to bring up a kid who's

503
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:15,039
not ready and who's wired mentally to really take that

504
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,079
heart when he's not producing. That's just the type of

505
00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:21,200
person he is. So that that was a failure by

506
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,559
the franchise. So yes, encouraging for the team that he's

507
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,079
gone down to the American League and been point per

508
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,480
game player. But you consider the history and how much

509
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:34,880
it's been stops and starts, and you consider how hard

510
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,119
he is on himself, and he's a pretty serious kid

511
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,680
in terms of thinking and reflecting on when things go wrong.

512
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,839
What happens when things go wrong and he's not ready

513
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,000
and he gets called up and things don't go well,

514
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:53,440
that's yet another interruption in his development. So he's got

515
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:56,240
to be fully baked for him for them to even

516
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,960
consider him being an NHL player next year. Okay, let's

517
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,519
assume that he does. Yeah, there's play driving there. Does

518
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,319
that translate to NHL? That's the hope for the team?

519
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,319
I don't know's I'm not comfortable saying that he's even

520
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:12,559
going to make the team at the start next year,

521
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,279
just because of what we've seen these past two years. Now,

522
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:18,799
maybe he goes deep in the HL playoffs. There's still

523
00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:22,920
a live providence, So if he gets a real foothold there,

524
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,079
that'll be a big step in his development. And then

525
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,839
we'll see. But right now that's a coin flip in

526
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,960
terms of whether he even makes a team. Minton, it

527
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:37,839
doesn't look like he's going to develop into the type

528
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,160
of NHL offensive player that Patra could. There's just completely

529
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,000
different players. Minton looks to me more NHL already in

530
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:49,839
terms of being responsible, being above pucks, being strong on pucks,

531
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:56,559
being good, defensively smart, like there's NHL things there. But

532
00:28:56,839 --> 00:28:59,039
when he does make it, and he might even make

533
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:01,799
it before Matt, that's going to be that's a lower

534
00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:05,559
end the lineup player. That's absolutely third line NHL center.

535
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:10,079
PK guy, I don't know about power play. So add

536
00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:12,640
that all up. Maybe a twenty five to thirty point

537
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:16,279
player when he develops, and that's fine for what the

538
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,119
Bruins would be looking for. They made that trade with

539
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,640
the expectation that this was going to develop at some

540
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,480
point into number three center. And yeah, maybe he translates

541
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:32,359
some of his defensive awareness into transition offense and get

542
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,720
some points that way, but at this point he's twenty

543
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,119
years old, twenty one. Doesn't look like he's going to

544
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,920
be a point producer NHL.

545
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 5: Very fair. Thank you for the background on those guys.

546
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,119
The last one I want to ask you about Fabian

547
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,759
Lacel and Lacel he seems like forever we've been waiting

548
00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:56,519
for him to develop or to reach his potential. He

549
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:59,279
finally got his first taste of NHL action this season

550
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,799
twelve game, three points and looking at his play driving chart,

551
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,279
his rampum chart, he looks pretty good defensively, or at

552
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:09,160
least he held his own in terms of course he

553
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,599
the offensive generation production wasn't quite there by small sample size.

554
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,519
He has been pretty solid in the HL this past

555
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:19,599
the past few seasons, So I'm wondering if you think

556
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:21,839
he's finally going to be an NHL regular or do

557
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,440
we still have to wait and see with him. What

558
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,400
are we expecting from lisel next season?

559
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another who knows shrugged the shoulders with Fabian.

560
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:35,240
Like you talk about speed with the puck, there's he's

561
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,240
right up there in terms of NHL elite with speed

562
00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:42,119
and pace with the puck, like he can fly in

563
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,079
decent hands too, but hasn't put it all together. And

564
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,799
at this stage, like you're looking at your watch and saying,

565
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,880
is this ever going to happen? Got flattened a few

566
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,799
times when he was up. He was up for I

567
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:57,000
think eleven or twelve games at the end in garbage

568
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
time when they were tanking, And that's going to continue.

569
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,000
If he doesn't get stronger, he's going to have a

570
00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:05,319
tough time in those wall battles. If he doesn't put

571
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,240
on some weight, get a little bit more muscular, and

572
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,079
just develop more awareness of your surroundings. And it's just

573
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,200
it's you're gonna get crushed if he continues to play

574
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,599
that way. Made some plays with the puck, has as

575
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,839
as playmaking touch, but he's a goal scorer and he

576
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,559
didn't have that. I think it was a ten or

577
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:28,279
eleven goals in the American League when they called him

578
00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:33,640
up finally, so it's we have not seen a true

579
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,680
progression or breakthrough or anything of that matter from Fabian.

580
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:38,039
Speaker 7: Now.

581
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: He's still young, but time is running out. And again

582
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,640
I don't know if he's going to make the roster

583
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,359
Next year. He'll be on his third year of his

584
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,359
entry level deal, so there's still time in that sense.

585
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, this is if.

586
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,079
Speaker 2: He doesn't make it in the fall, then I don't

587
00:31:56,079 --> 00:31:57,000
know if it's going to work out.

588
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: Well, let's splip over to the blue line Fluido Charlie mcavoys,

589
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:06,519
where we obviously start out there. He was having an

590
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:09,119
okay season in some of his advanced metrics. He was

591
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,880
still improving the team when he was out there compared

592
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,200
to when he was not, but points were pretty low,

593
00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:21,359
maybe in the lower range of outcomes. And then disaster

594
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,400
struck at the Four Nations Cup, where McAvoy suffered a

595
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,039
shoulder injury that ended up a little while later with

596
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:30,960
a scary trip to the hospital, and then the footage

597
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,359
of the stirring returned to the US locker room before

598
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640
the finals, so he was the start of the show

599
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,359
there for a minute. Maybe it was no accident that

600
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,519
McAvoy's departure is pretty closely timed to that turning point

601
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:47,000
in the record that I discussed up top. It makes

602
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,799
me wonder whether when McAvoy went out that was the

603
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,079
last straw for the team, thinking this isn't going to happen,

604
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:56,400
we need to sell in next month. Is macavoy looking

605
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,279
to be back to his normal self in the fall

606
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,359
and after the performance you did see last year, which

607
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,440
was more of a half point per game type guy,

608
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,400
what are you expecting for him going forward?

609
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll be fully healthy.

610
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:11,799
Speaker 2: Was never cleared at the end, will not play for

611
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,039
Team USA World Championships, But yep, it was training, all

612
00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:19,359
that skating, practicing, all that. He should be good to

613
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:22,559
go for camp now and he will be part of

614
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:27,599
that new group in Posternok Hampus LD home. I'm sure

615
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,279
he'll take that seriously. He's a serious kid in terms

616
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:35,519
of being responsible that way, and I'm sure he'll want

617
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:38,559
to do his best to get the Bruins back on track.

618
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:41,039
But you look at the way he played last year.

619
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:44,799
Now he didn't have a regular partner. He really benefited

620
00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:47,559
in years past playing with Grizzly. That was a really

621
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:52,400
good partnership for him. Grizzly doesn't come back, he starts

622
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,799
a season, starts training camp with Nikita Zadorof. That is

623
00:33:56,839 --> 00:34:03,400
not great players with Mason Loroy times. Okay, Charlie himself,

624
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,960
but and that's gonna help, that's gonna hurt anybody. But

625
00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:08,000
on his own, I don't think he played up to

626
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:11,280
his level last year before the injury. So there's there's

627
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,719
room for improvement for Charlie next year.

628
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,679
Speaker 6: But back to his game.

629
00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:19,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not mccar he's not Fox, he's not Hughes.

630
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:25,199
He's your twenty four minute horse who's going to play physical.

631
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,559
He's going to be a game changer in terms of

632
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,119
the big hit like we saw on McDavid in the tournament.

633
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:31,960
That's who he is.

634
00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 6: He's not.

635
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,079
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe he'll get some properlay time up top on

636
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,239
the first unit, but he just doesn't drive it. And

637
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,960
that was part of the reason that their probably was

638
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:43,280
so bad. This year is that he just he couldn't

639
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,719
get it on glued. I would expect him to be

640
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,679
better like he just he'll be in a tough spot

641
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,840
if he plays to his level like he did last year. Yeah,

642
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,840
I think he'll be better, but the points will not

643
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,159
be there in terms of being in that top tier

644
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,559
of offensive defenseman.

645
00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 5: All right, let's move on to Mason Lori, one of

646
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,559
my favorite young players. I was really impressed with him

647
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,239
coming up this season. He played thirty six more games

648
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,079
and he did last season up to seventy seven thirty five, sorry,

649
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,559
forty one. Last year, he increased his time on ice

650
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:16,320
by almost two and a half minutes, taking on tougher assignments,

651
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:19,639
but the defensive metrics aren't there. He struggled a bit

652
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,480
with expected goals against. Of course he against, but he

653
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:27,400
generated a significant amount of offense and points wise, he

654
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,559
had nearly the same point pace as McAvoy with less

655
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:35,360
time and opportunities. So that was pretty impressive. Obviously different player,

656
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,519
but looking at that thirty five point pace, we wonder

657
00:35:38,519 --> 00:35:40,440
if there can be more there? Will he continue to

658
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,480
get power play time? What do you think we can

659
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:43,760
expect from Lorier next season?

660
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 4: Flido.

661
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's more points there. I think whenever

662
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,320
Mason's on the ice, there's goals. But that's the issue

663
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,079
there's it's either they're going in his net or he's

664
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:56,800
helping to produce them. It's an issue when you're a coach,

665
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,559
is okay, what's going to happen when I put this

666
00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:02,559
guy out there? Something either something good or something bad generally,

667
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,199
so unless he tightens up defensively, and part of that

668
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,239
will be reducing his ice time, sheltering him. He's third

669
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,000
pair all day, and yes, power play first, power play

670
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,719
with the skill, but you really got to be careful

671
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,239
with Mason, and part of that is upon him to

672
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,280
be more responsible and to be more accepting of You

673
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,239
got to defend, and you got to check, and you've

674
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:25,559
got to be.

675
00:36:25,519 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 6: Hard to play against.

676
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:31,559
Speaker 2: And look never going to be a Chris Pronger type

677
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:34,599
like that's just not who he is. He's he'll be

678
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:36,800
taking the puck from one end to the other. But

679
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,119
he's got to be at least consistent and relatively reliable

680
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,119
for him for a coach to give him the ice time.

681
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:46,519
So the points will be there, I think they'll be

682
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:50,039
they'll improve, but a lot of that depends upon his

683
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:52,840
usage too. If a coach really doesn't like what he

684
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,880
sees defensively and says, Okay, we're putting you out there

685
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,239
for eleven minutes of five on five and PP two,

686
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,000
then okay, there's an issue there with the points. So

687
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,559
it's yeah, he's gonna have to Mason's gonna have to

688
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:09,400
take a big step in terms of being a better

689
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,000
defensive presence. Otherwise he's just not going to get his

690
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:15,480
opportunities to create offense, which we know, which we have seen,

691
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,480
and a very creative, fearless not afraid to go low

692
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:23,719
in the offensive zone and not afraid to shoot. So

693
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,280
there's absolutely offensive high ceiling there with Mason, but the

694
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,280
defense has to be cleaned up.

695
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: We've talked about guys who lost time to injury, guys

696
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,719
who were even injured pretty early, and a guy from

697
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,360
trade deadlines acquisitions past Tampus Lindholm was also in that category.

698
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,239
He got seventeen games in before he apparently broke a

699
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,880
kneecap out and missed the rest of the season. And

700
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,719
aside from that great first season in Boston, the first

701
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,800
full season after not his acquisition year, but the following

702
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,079
and he had fifty three points and got Norris votes.

703
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,679
He's never really been a big stats performer. He was

704
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,920
at a position of need for the team before and

705
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:11,199
much more so now as the as we talk about

706
00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:13,519
the depth of this team thinning out a bit. He's

707
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:17,000
thirty one, he's still got several years left on his contract.

708
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,800
What do you anticipate for Lindholme's recovery and his profile

709
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,800
coming into next year?

710
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,519
Speaker 6: Good to go for next year? Had to it was,

711
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,159
he said. How he put it was that he had

712
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,679
good luck within his.

713
00:38:29,639 --> 00:38:33,119
Speaker 2: Bad luck with the original injury, the broken mattilla, in

714
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:35,159
that it was a clean break. He was good, he

715
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,239
was actually ahead of schedule, and then he pushed it

716
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,480
and he pushed it too hard in terms of return

717
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:42,360
to play. So there was a screw in there that

718
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,360
was bothering him. So they had to take that out

719
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:47,320
and let that heal again organically. So that was the

720
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,559
issue in terms of why he ultimately had to miss

721
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:51,360
the rest of the year.

722
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 6: But good to go. But yeah, at his.

723
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,559
Speaker 2: Age, thirty one, big big guy coming off significant knee injury,

724
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,519
those are yeah flags. He's more in the McAvoy camp

725
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:07,000
of being a heavy minute defender first, and we've seen

726
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:10,599
him in previous years not afraid to go up, good pass,

727
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,159
shot ready player at the blue line. But at the

728
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,920
stage of the career, yeah, I don't foresee the points

729
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,679
being there now. That doesn't mean that he's not going

730
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,079
to be used. That's an important player for the Bruins

731
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:28,320
and was very much missed for all those games this year.

732
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,000
So he will whoever the coach is. Yeah, that's I

733
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,760
don't think he'll play with McVoy. That's a little bit too,

734
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,400
that's top heavy. But yeah, second pairing for Hampus and

735
00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:43,639
maybe second power play PK. Absolutely so, all situations player.

736
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,519
But does it translate to points and offense? No?

737
00:39:47,599 --> 00:39:49,159
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about the goalies.

738
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 5: The Bruins are ranked nineteenth and expected goals against per

739
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,360
sixty conceded the nineteenth ranked actual goals against per game

740
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,679
at five to five. You might expect that to mean

741
00:39:57,679 --> 00:40:00,559
that Jeremy Swimming did pretty well compared to expected, but

742
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,199
he actually saved negative twelve above expected at all strengths

743
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,480
and even strength he was closer to neutral negative two

744
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,360
point four four. Corporsalo was only slightly negative in the

745
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,880
twenty seven games he played, but in many leagues, especially

746
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,719
towards the end of the year, it was really difficult

747
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,719
to start Jeremy Swayman. He really struggled, and if there

748
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,840
were leagues that were punitive against goals against, he was

749
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,320
almost unrosterable. So I know he had the difficult situation

750
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,599
with the contract at the beginning of the season. What

751
00:40:27,679 --> 00:40:29,400
do you think is going to happen with these goalies

752
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:29,840
next season?

753
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 4: Fludo?

754
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:33,679
Speaker 2: He can't get worse just because he was so bad

755
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:37,599
compared to what he was throughout his career, not only

756
00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:42,440
Pro NHL, americanly college like there has. He's always been

757
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,119
superlative Jeremy when it comes to performance, and this was

758
00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:50,519
just such an aberration that you're like, yeah, this is

759
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:53,159
so far off the standard for Jeremy that it was

760
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,480
just it was hard to watch at times.

761
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,559
Speaker 6: So he'll be better, I would expect.

762
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,599
Speaker 2: I think part of that was, Yes, missing training camp

763
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,639
all of training camp doesn't help. That just doesn't help.

764
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:08,400
And then adjusting to life as a pure number one

765
00:41:08,559 --> 00:41:12,039
after they trade Lenis that's a big adjustment Mentally. I

766
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:13,840
don't think physically that was an issue for him. He

767
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,760
said he felt mine and he's in great shape, always is.

768
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,559
It takes the training and recovery very seriously, so I

769
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:21,599
don't think that was an issue, but yeah, it's just

770
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:25,079
different when you're not being pushed and he's a competitive guy,

771
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,760
and I think at times he just felt, okay, it's

772
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,039
my net and just was never really I'm sure he

773
00:41:31,079 --> 00:41:33,159
was motivated to perform at his best, but it's just

774
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:36,000
not the same when you don't have allmark they are

775
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,760
knocking down the door and wanting to play. And I

776
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,039
understand why the Bruins played Jeremy as much as they did,

777
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:44,599
even when he probably wasn't deserving of it. It's like,

778
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,000
we've got to get this guy back up to his

779
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:49,920
standard and get him some action and see if he

780
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,719
can work himself out of it. And no, he never

781
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,599
really did. So I would think if Corpusseelo is back

782
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,960
that he will see more time. And Don Sweenie made

783
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:02,360
point of this, he wants to see more competition between

784
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,599
the two to bring out more in Jeremy because you

785
00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:08,239
look at it statistically, at times, yeah, Jonas was better

786
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:11,639
and he should have been playing more, and certainly Jeremy's

787
00:42:11,679 --> 00:42:16,079
ceiling is higher where he is than Jonas's. But yeah,

788
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,079
there's going to be more competition between the two, so

789
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,000
the ice time for corpusal will go up, Jeremy's will

790
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,679
go down, and the Bruins are hopeful that that will

791
00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:32,079
correspond to improvement and expected everything, say percentage, every metric

792
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:36,000
for Jeremy because it was just yeah, that was probably

793
00:42:36,039 --> 00:42:38,480
the biggest reason why they had such a poor season,

794
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:40,960
was that the goaltending was so far off what it

795
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:41,920
had been historically.

796
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,639
Speaker 3: All right, fludo, that is the questions we had for

797
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,880
the Boston Bruins. Why don't you let people know how

798
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,519
they can keep up with your work and.

799
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 6: Why Times dot com slash the Athletic.

800
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah awesome, And I don't know why anybody would not

801
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,920
be following that if they're interested in what's going on

802
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,360
with the Bruins. So thank you so much much for

803
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,599
coming on today and enlightening us about this pretty fascinating team,

804
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:15,599
and good luck covering them in the future. Will since

805
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:20,000
then that's good fired, passed off. Oh my goodness, long

806
00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:28,440
quick gram. Now it's your weekly goalie talk. But Kat's Silverman,

807
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,159
Kat's Instincts.

808
00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 5: Welcome back to Kat's Instincts. This is Kat Silverman with

809
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:37,679
n Gold mag and we're going to talk Boston Brewin goalies.

810
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,119
We are going to start with Brandon Boozy. We've talked

811
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:43,760
about Boosey before in the show. He's twenty six years

812
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,559
old now six', four two hundred and eighteen. Pounds he

813
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:49,880
was undrafted this. Season last, SEASON i thought there was

814
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,519
a chance maybe he could beat Out corporsolo for that backup,

815
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,480
job but it didn't. Happen they gave it to Corpus.

816
00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:59,320
Solo he And boosey played thirty three games For Providence,

817
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,880
bruins and his numbers were a bit of a step

818
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,840
back from last. Season HIS gaa went slightly, up his

819
00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:07,639
save percentage went slightly, down but overall it was pretty

820
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:12,800
similar to previous. Seasons he's been pretty low.

821
00:44:12,679 --> 00:44:13,639
Speaker 4: In the hockey prospecting.

822
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 5: Model not a whole lot of ACTUAL nhl goalies looked like,

823
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,360
him maybe a couple backup. Couple Kat what are anythings

824
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,960
tell us About? Boozy any sense that maybe he'll step.

825
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 4: Into that backup role or be AN nhl goalie at any?

826
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:26,599
Speaker 5: Point.

827
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,079
Speaker 7: OH i say this as someone who full disclosure for

828
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,559
all our, LISTENERS i did grow up A bruins. FAN

829
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,599
i don't really know what they're doing right. Now and

830
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,239
that's not me saying that just because they traded their

831
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,880
captain To. FLORIDA i Think boozy looks. Fine he doesn't

832
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,559
look overly. REMARKABLE i think he looks more consistent with

833
00:44:48,679 --> 00:44:53,960
his technique and his positioning Than Dan, blodar who they

834
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,480
obviously traded away and Left boosy in this do or

835
00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:00,760
die kind of, position there by getting rid of their

836
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,400
other slightly more blue chip. PROSPECT i don't see anything

837
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,119
about his game that shows that when they need him,

838
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,599
to he can elevate the speed of his. Game he's

839
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:16,559
missing that higher tier for. Me that being, said he

840
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,920
has picked up his speed just a little. Bit when

841
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,440
it comes to his reaction timing his, skating he's done

842
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,800
a good job, of at least for me WHEN i watch.

843
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:33,559
Him he has trended up a little. Bit technique, wise

844
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,519
his numbers have. Stayed they've been good at THE hl

845
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,679
level pretty much consistently since he got to the. Pros

846
00:45:41,159 --> 00:45:43,559
but there's nothing about his game That i'm enamored, with

847
00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:47,039
and there's clearly nothing in his game That boston's all

848
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:50,440
that enamored with, either because they haven't given him a,

849
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:54,239
Chance SO i don't really.

850
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: Know what to.

851
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:54,639
Speaker 2: Do.

852
00:45:55,159 --> 00:46:00,679
Speaker 7: THERE i think he's at this. Point if he doesn't

853
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,719
get AN nhl shot within the next year or, TWO

854
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,400
i would assume they have no interest in bringing him

855
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,360
up to THE. Nhl he's getting a little too old

856
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,800
for us to think that it's because he doesn't have the.

857
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,559
Speaker 5: Experience, yes that does seem likely at this. Point and

858
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,480
the other guy that they have in their, system as you, hinted,

859
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,760
too puzzling us to what they're doing. Here But Mikey,

860
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,840
Dpehrow we've been talking about him on this show for

861
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,719
a very long. Time he's now twenty five years, old six,

862
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:31,800
one two hundred and seven.

863
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,519
Speaker 4: Pounds is he six to? ONE i don't. Know that

864
00:46:33,639 --> 00:46:36,760
seems no like a. Stretch he's listed at six to.

865
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,840
One let's say That i'm proud of him for.

866
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: That.

867
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:40,519
Speaker 4: Yeah.

868
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,119
Speaker 5: Yeah he was drafted By vancouver back in twenty. Seventeen this,

869
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,480
season he last two, seasons he's actually been with The

870
00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:51,039
Providence bruins, primarily and he was able to really increase

871
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:53,880
his numbers this past season up to nine twenty seven

872
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,199
save percentage two point zero. FIVE gaa really looking strong

873
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,800
in the playoffs, Too so overall it seems like maybe

874
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,000
he's rehabbed his career. Bit he's listed In Hockey Prospecting

875
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:05,679
model as a. Bust there aren't really whole lot of

876
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,119
guys that look like. Him there's some other highly touted

877
00:47:08,199 --> 00:47:11,119
prospects that didn't work, out Like Zach fucali in.

878
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,679
Speaker 4: There maybe he's turned the, corner maybe he's come back.

879
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,119
Speaker 5: Around, Kat what do your instincts tell us About Mikey Di. Pietro,

880
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,199
now it.

881
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,679
Speaker 7: Is really crazy to me because WHEN i think about

882
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,519
the two goaltenders in The Pee bruin system in my

883
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,760
brain just knowing how Long Mikey Di pietro has been

884
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,039
essentially considered this highly touted. Prospect WHEN i was looking

885
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:38,440
at who we have listed For, BOSTON i was, Like,

886
00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:43,039
oh why are we listing? Him he's like, Thirty Brandon

887
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:45,880
boosey's like twenty, Four and Actually Brandon boosey is the

888
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:52,119
older of the. Two Mikey Di pietro is about to

889
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,800
turn twenty, six but he is currently still only twenty.

890
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:00,280
Five SO i think it's his size honestly that his kept.

891
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,480
Teams in his injury, HISTORY i know he's had a

892
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:04,920
lot of injury struggles in the past that has kept

893
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,519
him from really getting his CLEAR nhl. Shot if you

894
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:13,800
look back at his overall, numbers he was given one

895
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,000
disastrous game with The Vancouver canucks in twenty eighteen, nineteen

896
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:22,599
he was given one disastrous game with The Vancouver canucks

897
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,280
in twenty, nineteen twenty, twenty and he was given one

898
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,920
disastrous game with The Vancouver canucks in twenty twenty, one

899
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,639
twenty twenty, two and then they cut him. Loose SO

900
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:39,760
i think he has done an admirable job of essentially

901
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,320
staying within The North american hockey. System looking at some

902
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,079
of the other goaltenders who have been in that same,

903
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:49,000
model a lot of them do go over To europe

904
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
and end up playing over. There And Michael gartig's another

905
00:48:51,039 --> 00:48:55,119
one who played for The Vancouver canucks system who after

906
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,679
doing really well for them as a prospect and after

907
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,480
that team making it very clear that he was not

908
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:04,039
a clear prospect for, them he went To, toronto played

909
00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:07,400
in their minor league, system won THEIR acchl team a,

910
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,840
cup and then went over To europe and has been

911
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,119
lighting it up In germany ever. Since and that's something

912
00:49:12,159 --> 00:49:13,840
THAT i think we could have seen From depietro and

913
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,800
and said he has stayed In North america and he's

914
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,559
been doing really well at THE ahl level for The,

915
00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:22,519
bruins and they just have not brought him up to

916
00:49:22,599 --> 00:49:24,519
get a look at THE nhl. Level AND i don't

917
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:26,960
know what's going on, there BECAUSE i think he's got

918
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,960
a really good. GAME i think he has really good,

919
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:33,800
speed really good. REFLEXES i think he tracks. Well sometimes

920
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,880
he plays a little too aggressively THAT i think is

921
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,360
a size thing for. HIM i don't know if maybe

922
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,519
they didn't bring him up this year because they wanted

923
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:46,639
to make absolutely sure that they did as poorly as,

924
00:49:46,679 --> 00:49:49,599
Possible and maybe we'll sea him at THE nhl level

925
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:53,079
next year if they keep him, Around BUT i don't.

926
00:49:53,119 --> 00:49:55,960
KNOW i think every year we have the same conversation

927
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,159
where we look at his numbers and we, say he

928
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,239
looks like he's ready to take the next. Step is

929
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,480
he going to do? It and the team, Say, nope

930
00:50:02,679 --> 00:50:06,599
not this. Year SO i think if he continues on

931
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,679
having the kind of monster run in the playoffs that

932
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,079
he's having with the Pe, RUINS i think it would

933
00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:16,000
be unavoidable to not give him AN nhl. Look but

934
00:50:17,159 --> 00:50:19,239
teams have surprised me, before AND i don't really know

935
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,320
What boston's, doing SO.

936
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:22,199
Speaker 5: I don't.

937
00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:24,639
Speaker 7: Know i'd love to see him get more than one

938
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,000
game with a Rebuilding Vancouver canucks team to see what

939
00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:31,920
he can. Do but at this, Point i'm at a.

940
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,119
LOSS i don't know what's going on.

941
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 4: There, yeah me. TOO i really hope it works out for.

942
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:38,000
Him i'm.

943
00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 5: Hoping i'm hopeful that maybe The Dustin wolf experience makes

944
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,960
a little bit clearer path for some of these smaller, goalies.

945
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 7: But paving the way for.

946
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 4: EVERYONE i hope.

947
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 5: So but my snowcorn that it's hard to extrapolate to other,

948
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,320
Guys BUT i hope he gets a legit shot BECAUSE

949
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,840
i remember distinctly that game that The canucks put him

950
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,519
in against The, sharks and it was, awful. Awful it

951
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:02,280
wasn't really just, him the team was lawful in front

952
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,360
of him, too so they ruined that whole experience for.

953
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,719
Him but hopefully there's some of our days. Ahead i'm

954
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,159
pulling for, You, Mikey so thanks so, much cav forgive

955
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,719
us it's gonness your instincts on the Bustin bruins.

956
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:34,079
Speaker 8: Goalies we'll be back right after this digs the dynasty

957
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,480
dig keeping waiting a long.

958
00:51:36,519 --> 00:51:40,039
Speaker 3: Time because we love our dynasty, digs and that is

959
00:51:40,119 --> 00:51:42,599
the time for those of you who were not here last,

960
00:51:42,679 --> 00:51:47,039
year when we break down three major prospects on the,

961
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:50,280
team the no brainer, prospect the need to know prospect

962
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,840
and to keep your eye on. Prospect and actually two

963
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,360
of these players were already discussed With, fluto but we

964
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,800
want to get a little bit deeper into. Them and these,

965
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,480
always these aren't always like the top three prospects in

966
00:52:02,519 --> 00:52:06,119
the system per, se but they're the ones that we

967
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,719
are highlighting for. Reasons it starts with our no brainer, Today,

968
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,679
victor and that is going to be who is our

969
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:14,199
no Brainer.

970
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 5: Victor it's gonna Be Fraser, minton one of the guys

971
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,719
we already talked. About twenty twenty, two thirty eighth overall pick,

972
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,440
six two hundred ninety five. Pounds split the year between

973
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,920
THE nhl and THE hl this season for Both toronto

974
00:52:27,039 --> 00:52:30,400
And boston played a few games in, each most of

975
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,360
the time with THE Ahl Toronto, marleys but he after

976
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,360
the trade deadline did spend a fair amount with The

977
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,119
Providence bruins as, well and overall was much better in

978
00:52:41,519 --> 00:52:45,199
terms of THE hl production than THE nhl. Production combined

979
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:48,079
between the two, clubs but he was nearing a point

980
00:52:48,119 --> 00:52:50,039
per game With providence towards the end of the, season

981
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:54,360
so that was pretty. Good looking at his rampam chart

982
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,440
For Boston toronto this, season which was pretty limited in

983
00:52:58,559 --> 00:53:02,280
terms of HIS nhl experience only that twenty one, games

984
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,679
but there was a really low expected goals against bottom

985
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,840
seventy five percent of the, league and then the expected

986
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,039
goals was also pretty. Poor in his limited power play,

987
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:15,519
time he didn't do too. Much so all of that

988
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,800
to suggest it wasn't all that. Exciting you look back

989
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,760
to his junior numbers and his goal and his expected

990
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,400
goals and. All the offense was really, high But i'm

991
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,199
not sure how much that's going to. Translate fluid or

992
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,119
touched on. That but you look at his transition, game

993
00:53:30,199 --> 00:53:33,440
you look about his defensive zone, retrievals and this is in. Junior,

994
00:53:33,519 --> 00:53:37,280
again all those things That Mitch brown tracks in his

995
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,039
data was really. Good and to flu to his, point

996
00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:43,000
he probably will be more of a shutdown kind of,

997
00:53:43,039 --> 00:53:46,079
guy depth, center really hard to play against kind of.

998
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:47,880
Guy i'm not sure the offense is going to. Translate

999
00:53:48,519 --> 00:53:51,800
looking at MY fhl player, CARD i have him at

1000
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,880
a five point one. Two that means he's just over

1001
00:53:55,119 --> 00:53:58,639
just slightly over percent twelve percent chance of being a

1002
00:53:58,679 --> 00:54:00,519
five out of, ten which is kind of like average

1003
00:54:00,599 --> 00:54:04,280
roster player on your dynasty, team which isn't super. Exciting

1004
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
he does have a pretty decent bash in terms of

1005
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,039
his shots and hits are pretty, high his blocks are,

1006
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:15,679
low what overall seventieth percent of for, bash it's pretty.

1007
00:54:15,679 --> 00:54:18,039
Decent but let's find out a little bit more About

1008
00:54:18,039 --> 00:54:19,920
Fraser mint and FROM myfrhl scout jet.

1009
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 3: And this one comes from our lead, Scout tony starting

1010
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,719
off the summer, Right tony says Of Fraser, Minton he's

1011
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,199
a good, skeeter does not possess great, speed but effective

1012
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,800
in most situations for passing and. Handling he's adept at

1013
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,199
doing both of those. Things with the. Puck if it's

1014
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,280
in the offensive, zone he can get a pass to

1015
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,519
the teammate or get off his own. Shot in the defensive,

1016
00:54:45,559 --> 00:54:48,119
zone he can get the puck away or get it

1017
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,280
out either way he needs to. Shooting he has a

1018
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,159
variety of. Shots they're all good wrist, shot, snapshot et.

1019
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Cetera fraser has good, vision anticipation in, poise high HIGH.

1020
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,800
Iq he always seems to be in control and smooth for.

1021
00:55:05,079 --> 00:55:09,239
Checking he did some for checking That tony observed good

1022
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,039
positional defense when he's in one zone or the. Other

1023
00:55:13,079 --> 00:55:17,119
but the best asset For Fraser minton is the, calm

1024
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,400
cool demeanor and ability to shoot that. Puck biggest, concern,

1025
00:55:21,199 --> 00:55:24,239
dude he doesn't do anything. Exceptionally he doesn't have the

1026
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,960
greatest speed in the. World so the top tier outcome

1027
00:55:28,199 --> 00:55:31,760
is a tier two for those of you. Listening that's

1028
00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:34,599
not the absolute top, tier but it does mean that

1029
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:38,239
he'd presumably get a fair number of points in. Bash

1030
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,679
he's got a lot of very good skills in hockey

1031
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,000
and has a GREAT iq if he plays center or left,

1032
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:46,480
wing does great at face, offs plays in all situations

1033
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,920
with some. Bash as you, Said, victor and the median

1034
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,280
outcome here is probably a tier three somebody who plays

1035
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,639
maybe in the bottom. Six if he doesn't put the skills,

1036
00:55:57,679 --> 00:56:00,639
together you probably will have a career lacking and. Stardom

1037
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:05,159
the stylistic comparable he Reminds tony of And Andrew Copper

1038
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Nick felino, type and the final thoughts he has a

1039
00:56:08,519 --> 00:56:10,800
lot of skills in some, bash but has not yet

1040
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,840
been able to put it all. Together our Friend Mason,

1041
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,800
black THE Nhl ranking And Tidy, champion put out this

1042
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:24,000
poll FOR Us Fraser minton Versus Colton doc of The Chicago,

1043
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:29,199
blackhawks and the poll results are In Fraser minton by

1044
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,320
a nose fifty two to forty eight.

1045
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:31,679
Speaker 4: Percent.

1046
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 3: Victor is that how you would rank these?

1047
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 5: Two, yeah neither of these two are super. Exciting, unfortunately

1048
00:56:40,039 --> 00:56:42,519
they're both actually similar in terms of their time frame

1049
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,639
in terms of when they're, arriving and they're both kind

1050
00:56:46,679 --> 00:56:50,119
of playing a FEW nhl games right, now which is

1051
00:56:50,519 --> 00:56:54,239
nice to see that they're similar place. THERE i think

1052
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,480
in this situation you might have to consider also who's

1053
00:56:57,519 --> 00:57:01,000
available in terms of your or who's available on the,

1054
00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:04,559
team and what the situation is for EACH i THINK

1055
00:57:04,599 --> 00:57:06,760
i might like the situation For minton.

1056
00:57:06,519 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 4: A little bit.

1057
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:09,519
Speaker 5: Better but you Heard fluto say that he seemed more

1058
00:57:09,599 --> 00:57:11,960
like a, pro seemed a little bit, ready which is.

1059
00:57:12,039 --> 00:57:14,360
Nice none of the metrics for either of these looks super,

1060
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,679
good but they look slightly better For minton in terms

1061
00:57:16,719 --> 00:57:19,320
of his defensive, game a little worse in terms of

1062
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,159
his offensive. Game But Colton, doc this Is Kirby dock's

1063
00:57:23,159 --> 00:57:24,239
little Brother by the way.

1064
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 4: He does not.

1065
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:28,679
Speaker 5: HAVE i think the upside in terms of, offense And

1066
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,679
i'm not Sure minton does, either BUT i think the

1067
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,079
team situation might be better able to Support. MINTON i don't.

1068
00:57:35,079 --> 00:57:36,880
Know this is pretty much a pretty fair pick. Them

1069
00:57:37,079 --> 00:57:38,880
it might come down to the bash between the, two

1070
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,639
WHICH i think is going to be better For, minton

1071
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,400
and so that pole is probably pretty. Accurate it's probably

1072
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,119
a bit of a pick, them and it might just

1073
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:49,519
fit the situation of the context of who's. AVAILABLE i

1074
00:57:49,639 --> 00:57:52,920
think That minton is more likely to play center Doc

1075
00:57:53,119 --> 00:57:54,800
ken as, well but he might slide over to the,

1076
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,079
wing so maybe that's easier in terms of what you

1077
00:57:58,199 --> 00:58:01,760
can how you can fit him. In looking at the

1078
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,519
hockey prospecting between the, two it's not great for. Either

1079
00:58:04,679 --> 00:58:07,239
they're both trending down to like just one or two

1080
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,280
percent chance of being a. Star The NHLer probability is

1081
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,079
actually a little bit higher for doc and most of

1082
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:15,880
the comps For minton are pretty disappointing guys who didn't

1083
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,360
really make. It there's one kind of, outlier and That's David, Bachis.

1084
00:58:19,199 --> 00:58:20,559
Speaker 4: And could he end up being a guy like?

1085
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:23,719
Speaker 5: That, YEAH i think it's. Possible it's not super. Likely

1086
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,559
he has the, toughness he has the, size he has the,

1087
00:58:26,599 --> 00:58:30,280
physicality so he could evolve from a bit more of

1088
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,000
a grinder to have to rediscover some of that scoring

1089
00:58:33,079 --> 00:58:34,320
touch later on in his.

1090
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 4: Career hold out some hope for that and Take minton.

1091
00:58:37,079 --> 00:58:41,599
Speaker 5: HERE i also looking at the J fresh, card it's

1092
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,440
pretty pessimistic as it tends to be three percent chance

1093
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,719
of being a, star twenty percent chance of being an nhll.

1094
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,719
Er so it's all looking not super exciting For, minton

1095
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,320
but there is still probably An NHLer there who will likely,

1096
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,440
Bash so in terms of a decent, floor you can't

1097
00:58:58,480 --> 00:58:59,039
argue too much with.

1098
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:06,079
Speaker 3: That jesse, Absolutely, victor that is our no. Brainer who

1099
00:59:06,239 --> 00:59:08,239
is the need to know prospect of The Boston.

1100
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:14,119
Speaker 5: Bruins that's going to Be William zeller's twenty twenty, four

1101
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:18,039
seventy sixth overall. Pick he just was taken in this last.

1102
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:20,360
Draft he's five to, ten one hundred and seventy six.

1103
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:24,920
Pounds he had a strong season last season when he was,

1104
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:27,400
drafted who was mostly out of high, school and then

1105
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,639
transitioned to THE ushl this past, year seventy one points

1106
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:33,960
in fifty two games pretty strong first season for. Him

1107
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,719
he's off To North dakota next, season so that'll be

1108
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,639
really good to see how he transitioned. There big jump high, SCHOOL, USHL.

1109
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,039
Ncaa that's big jump year to, year so it'll be

1110
00:59:45,159 --> 00:59:48,920
really important to see how he handles each one of.

1111
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,239
Those he's so, far so, good and we have to

1112
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:53,920
wait and see a little bit, more but that was

1113
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,679
an impressive FIRST ushl season and so there's some hope

1114
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,880
that there's a bit more of an offensive player. Here

1115
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,519
but let's learn a little bit more About zellers from

1116
01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:03,920
OUR fhl, Scout JESSE.

1117
01:00:05,039 --> 01:00:08,679
Speaker 3: Fhl Scout tony has this to say our lead scout

1118
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,039
On Will zeller's skating very, good uses speed in edges

1119
01:00:13,119 --> 01:00:16,679
to get by. Opponents passing and. Handling he is skilled

1120
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,400
at passing and puck, handling especially in the type. Areas

1121
01:00:21,159 --> 01:00:23,920
zellers has a very nice snapshot as well as being

1122
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:27,000
able to hit the net with, it great vision and,

1123
01:00:27,119 --> 01:00:30,480
anticipation able to pass the puck mate or through a

1124
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:35,199
man to. Himself he seems poised and under control with his.

1125
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,039
Peers for, Checking tony did see Some ford checking and

1126
01:00:39,679 --> 01:00:45,199
How zellers created turnovers for, defense mostly positional not necessarily

1127
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,599
in your, face but he does have some, bash so

1128
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,239
the best asset the best, assets in this case skating

1129
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,639
in HOCKEY. Iq the biggest concern is That zellers will

1130
01:00:56,719 --> 01:00:59,639
become pigeonholed in with third line role because he is

1131
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,719
very versatile and the top tier outcome top tier is.

1132
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,400
One he could be virtually a star if he's able

1133
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,119
to continue a trajectory and increase his skating ability in,

1134
01:01:10,199 --> 01:01:13,440
shooting Then tony likes his chances as a top six

1135
01:01:13,559 --> 01:01:17,239
forward playing on a power. Play the median outcome would

1136
01:01:17,239 --> 01:01:19,760
be a much lower tier three if he doesn't continue

1137
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,440
his bash and could fall to the bottom six and

1138
01:01:23,119 --> 01:01:28,239
limited special teams, player stylistic Comparable alex De brinkt and,

1139
01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:31,760
Overall Tony hope hopes that will can make a. Splash

1140
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,760
he's coming to The bruins at a time when they

1141
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:38,519
need an influx of, young skilled. Players Mason black Puts

1142
01:01:39,079 --> 01:01:43,639
William zellers against against your eye patcharkic hip pick Car,

1143
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,679
chick pick Car chick of The Saint Louis, blues And

1144
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:51,599
zeller's wins that one in a route seventy point six

1145
01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:55,760
over twenty nine point four is that how you would

1146
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,000
Compare zellers With.

1147
01:01:57,159 --> 01:02:02,599
Speaker 5: PIKARCHICK i, THINK i mean it's interesting BECAUSE i Think

1148
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,719
zeller's does have more. UPSIDE i Think pikarchick is probably

1149
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,360
a bit more of a sure thing in terms of.

1150
01:02:09,519 --> 01:02:12,280
Upside he's, bigger he's, heavier he plays that. Way we

1151
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,480
saw him at The World. Juniors he was pretty awesome

1152
01:02:14,599 --> 01:02:17,800
for That slovakia team this past. Season he also played

1153
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,360
a good but more limited role in the Previous World,

1154
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:24,199
juniors and his trajectory has been, interesting coming From slovakia

1155
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,079
playing in The tier two there and then coming to

1156
01:02:26,119 --> 01:02:30,079
THE ushl last year IN qmjhl this, year so interesting

1157
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,000
trajectory so. Far the scoring hasn't been incredible for, him

1158
01:02:34,039 --> 01:02:35,880
BUT i think that he's a guy who plays that

1159
01:02:36,039 --> 01:02:39,199
really good heavy. Style SO i think in terms OF nhlor,

1160
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:44,239
Probability pikarchick might have. It but in terms of the,

1161
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,840
upside As tony mentioned For, ZELLER'S i think that the

1162
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,679
sky's the limit there if he can really put it all.

1163
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,119
Together i'm not sure that he, will so there's more

1164
01:02:52,159 --> 01:02:55,800
of a volatility With, zellars but the upside is pretty,

1165
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,840
great So i'm really curious to see how he handles

1166
01:02:59,599 --> 01:03:02,440
north the, coda getting, stronger putting a little bit more weight,

1167
01:03:02,519 --> 01:03:05,559
on and really being able to beat those who compete

1168
01:03:05,559 --> 01:03:08,519
against those big, er tougher. Opponents so for the, UPSIDE

1169
01:03:08,519 --> 01:03:10,800
i would Take. Zellers IF i wanted more of a sure,

1170
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,559
THING i would take Pacar. CHECK i think these are

1171
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,920
two very different kind of, players and the upside is

1172
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:21,119
different for. EACH i would be happy to have, either

1173
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,000
but for in different. SITUATIONS i would just expect different

1174
01:03:24,039 --> 01:03:26,679
things from them in terms of their points versus AND

1175
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,599
hl or. Probability as of, now The zellers has a

1176
01:03:30,639 --> 01:03:35,079
little bit more of a upside on hockey, prospecting but

1177
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:37,199
it's still pretty, low just four percent chance of being

1178
01:03:37,199 --> 01:03:37,719
a star.

1179
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 4: Because of, it because of the lack of the.

1180
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:46,239
Speaker 5: Equivalency for Pakar chick In, slovakia he has a zero

1181
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,440
zero zero percent according to this, model AND i think

1182
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,320
that's because he didn't really have a GOOD d minus

1183
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,920
one OR d zero and so it's hard it'll be

1184
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,880
hard for him to bump that up at this. Point

1185
01:03:56,119 --> 01:03:58,280
one of the comps here on hockey prospecting that might

1186
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,800
be appropriate For zeller's Is Time, kennedy who certainly had his,

1187
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,639
moments but overall was more of a depth fantasy asset

1188
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,440
most of the, time AND i could See zellers end

1189
01:04:08,519 --> 01:04:11,320
up being like. That he certainly has the, upside but

1190
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,599
it might take the right situation or, context as it

1191
01:04:13,679 --> 01:04:14,320
did For Kennedy.

1192
01:04:14,679 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 3: Jesse that's right on to keep your eye on Prospect

1193
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,360
victor third and Final and we've heard this name before this.

1194
01:04:22,519 --> 01:04:23,280
Episode who is?

1195
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:29,039
Speaker 5: It Yees Matthew, POATRAW i Think fludo mentioned. It it

1196
01:04:29,159 --> 01:04:32,559
does seem like The bruins have mismanaged his development a little.

1197
01:04:32,599 --> 01:04:35,280
Bit he played he stormed out of the gates last

1198
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,400
year and everybody was, Like, wow why is this guy

1199
01:04:38,079 --> 01:04:38,440
doing so?

1200
01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 4: Well he was just.

1201
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 5: Finished his second junior season and then came right into

1202
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,800
THE nhl and it was really surprising and possibly not

1203
01:04:48,239 --> 01:04:50,400
really the right thing for, him and then they ended

1204
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:54,159
up eventually sending him down to. Junior but he's been

1205
01:04:54,239 --> 01:04:55,960
trying to maybe been asked to do a little bit

1206
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,400
more than he should have so far in his. Career

1207
01:04:58,519 --> 01:05:00,559
he's a twenty twenty two to fifty four worth overall

1208
01:05:00,599 --> 01:05:04,159
pick five eleven and eighty one. Pounds he's got the

1209
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,840
upside to have a lot more total points and a

1210
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,239
lot more points, upside but he really has some things

1211
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,719
to work. On, hey maybe this, summer and maybe with

1212
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,000
a long offseason and already won training camp under his

1213
01:05:17,079 --> 01:05:19,320
belt last, season he comes back even better this next.

1214
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 4: Season we'll.

1215
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,079
Speaker 5: See, defensively he has been quite, good AND i think

1216
01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:26,039
that bodes really well for. Him his course against is

1217
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,760
up there in the top seventy fifth percentile of the whole,

1218
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,119
league which is pretty impressive as expected goals against is also.

1219
01:05:32,199 --> 01:05:35,679
Good the offense just isn't there. Yet the whole team

1220
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,039
was in disarray this past, season So i'm not sure

1221
01:05:38,079 --> 01:05:40,880
you can blame too much of that on, him even

1222
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,639
if they were relying a little much on. Him and

1223
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,199
when you look at his Evolving hockey player, card this

1224
01:05:47,039 --> 01:05:50,599
defense is clearly what stands out as well above, average

1225
01:05:50,679 --> 01:05:54,280
whereas the offense is still struggling a. Bit when you

1226
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,039
look at MY fhl player, card you can see that

1227
01:05:57,199 --> 01:06:00,719
the bash is really difficult With patra and anyone who's

1228
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,360
rostered Him i'm sure has seen that. Before but the

1229
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,559
reality is that the bash is going to be in

1230
01:06:06,719 --> 01:06:10,159
the tenth. Percentile he doesn't really, shoot he doesn't really,

1231
01:06:10,239 --> 01:06:12,320
hit he doesn't really, blocked so pretty. Much all you're

1232
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,280
hoping for is that those points translate to THE, nhl

1233
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,079
which he certainly has had moments where he's looked, decent

1234
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,440
but for the most, part he nothing really to write

1235
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,320
home about in terms of consistent point. Production but we're

1236
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,000
hoping that there's more there and we're going to find

1237
01:06:26,039 --> 01:06:29,880
out a little bit more about him with OUR fhl, Scout.

1238
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:36,719
Speaker 3: Jesse you donnay we Are Matthew poatraw wants the savior

1239
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,800
incarnate of the of The canadian team of The World

1240
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:40,480
juniors last.

1241
01:06:40,559 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 4: Year but that was a high.

1242
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 3: Point but here's What tony has to. Say he is

1243
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,440
a good skater with decent speed and. Acceleration poatra is

1244
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,360
a superpassor great puck. Candler i'd Say tony would say

1245
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:56,480
he's developing into a. Playmaker potra is a good, shooter

1246
01:06:56,639 --> 01:06:59,880
although that's not his first. Instinct his best shot is the.

1247
01:07:00,039 --> 01:07:03,840
Snapshot when he's, shooting there is a high HOCKEY iq,

1248
01:07:04,079 --> 01:07:07,760
here vision and anticipation a great poise seems to him

1249
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,119
increased since the last time That tony scouted. Him the

1250
01:07:11,239 --> 01:07:14,280
game seems to be slowing down For. Patra he's not

1251
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,960
only making a play but trying to make the best

1252
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:22,280
play based on a. Situation for, Checking matthew has increased

1253
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,199
His ford checking does a good job at. It the

1254
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,239
defense is, good not in the sense of shutting down,

1255
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,840
someone but is for checking and making sure he makes

1256
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,480
a smart play with the. Puck so the best asset

1257
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,519
The HOCKEY iq the biggest. Concern tony wishes he would

1258
01:07:37,559 --> 01:07:43,119
shoot more and overall the tier two. Outcome maybe a

1259
01:07:43,159 --> 01:07:46,360
lower top six type outcome or a ligned three type

1260
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:52,000
thing is the likely result because With HOCKEY iq playmaking

1261
01:07:52,039 --> 01:07:53,639
and ford, checking he should be able to score in

1262
01:07:53,679 --> 01:07:55,880
a regular, Basis but it seems like he's more of a,

1263
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,159
passer so a lot of, assists not a lot of.

1264
01:07:59,239 --> 01:08:02,960
Goals second line, center powerplay, two penalty kill one the

1265
01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:06,239
median outcome for this Guy tier, three but not a

1266
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,039
lot of, bash lack of. Shooting third line. Center maybe a,

1267
01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:14,199
spot power play and penalty kill stylistic comparable a less

1268
01:08:14,519 --> 01:08:19,600
offensive Bergeron bruins would take, that and overall he could

1269
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,800
be a very good player with HIS iq four checking and,

1270
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,399
passing but he needs to shoot. More tony is sure

1271
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,840
of this. One our Friend Mason, black THE Nhl Rank,

1272
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,000
king put out the poll with the greatest prospect hockey

1273
01:08:33,119 --> 01:08:36,239
name in the, Game Matthew poatraw Versus luca Del Bell,

1274
01:08:36,359 --> 01:08:40,600
blues and what happened in this, Poll poatros still comes

1275
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,279
out ahead fifty five to forty five percent Over columbus's

1276
01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:48,359
Del Bell blues. Victor is that how you would rank these?

1277
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 6: Two?

1278
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 4: YEAH i think. SO i think that the one thing

1279
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:54,680
to think about is Del.

1280
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,399
Speaker 5: Bell blo's clearly more of a, winger and he got

1281
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,560
his first day's fifty team games this, season had a

1282
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,359
limited role his actual some of his course he against

1283
01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:08,079
him stuff weren't, great but he had pretty decent expected

1284
01:09:08,119 --> 01:09:10,760
goals Against what's interesting about Del Bell blues is that

1285
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,399
he had a really big discrepancy between his expected goals

1286
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,279
and his actual, goals and so basically seems like he

1287
01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:20,279
got a bit lucky with the points that he did,

1288
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:23,119
get which was eight points in fifteen. Games so you

1289
01:09:23,199 --> 01:09:24,760
might look at that and, say, oh that's nearly a

1290
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,359
fifty point. Pace he could probably do, More and while that's,

1291
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,039
Possible i'm not sure that's actually. ACCURATE i think that

1292
01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:33,800
he might have been over indexed a little, bit and

1293
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,760
he's got a lot of competition there In columbus as,

1294
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:37,960
well which is another thing to think.

1295
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 4: ABOUT i THINK i would Take patra.

1296
01:09:40,079 --> 01:09:43,159
Speaker 5: Here we heard from flu to how he's not even

1297
01:09:43,159 --> 01:09:45,359
guaranteed to make the, team BUT i think he has that.

1298
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,680
Experience he's had a couple he had a training, camp

1299
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,880
he's had a taste of THE. Nhl he's going to

1300
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,319
know what he needs to do to get back there

1301
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:53,920
and get bigger and. Stronger might depend a little bit

1302
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,880
on what The bruins do in the offseason this. Year

1303
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:58,640
they might go out and put someone in front of,

1304
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,560
him which might actually be good so that they don't

1305
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,920
rely on him too much and let him grow into

1306
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,479
the role that's right for. Him BUT i do think

1307
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,640
there's a lot more offense here For. Patra he is

1308
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,079
going to be one of those frustrating. Ads, sure a

1309
01:10:11,159 --> 01:10:14,239
less Offensive bergern is one, way BUT i would think

1310
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,840
maybe more like An Alex weinberg is WHAT i see,

1311
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,640
here someone who you, Know weinberg's a much bigger, guy

1312
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,399
but in terms of not really shooting or blocking or.

1313
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,399
Hitting but there's a decent chance you're going to get

1314
01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:29,560
an assist in that, game and possibly more With patra

1315
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,479
than there might even be more offense, there so definitely

1316
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,279
Taking poatra. HERE i think that there's a good amount

1317
01:10:36,279 --> 01:10:39,119
of untapped. Offense one of the other comps here in

1318
