2010 Bruins Draft Review: Tyler Seguin, Jared Knight, and a bunch of teenagers

Oh this? Just OHL MVP. No big deal.

Tyler Seguin's been talked to death but I'm still Psyched for Seguin. Puck Prospectus said he wasn't as good as Hall but that's why he went second overall instead of first. Whatever, he's going to be good. But now it's time to get excited for our next pick.

It's time to Jump for Jared Knight

Face of a killer, I tell you what.

Let's take a look at the next draft pick, though: Jared Knight. Jared plays for the London Knights of the OHL, and is interesting to say the least. Here's a quick highlight clip:

Pretty exciting, right? I know! I know!

Look at that, he's at the net in a bunch of the clips. A kid who goes to the net. And a RW to boot, which granted we don't need as much as LWs but it's still exciting that we've got a good winger in the pipe. Lets take a look at his OHL production, where he was 5th in points on his team with 36-21-57. However, he had the most goals of the team all year. In the playoffs, he went 10-7-17 (3rd) in 12 games, though he again lead his team in goals with that 10. The kid has a nose for the net and likes scoring goals, which can only be music to Bruins fans' ears.

Basically when Recchi retires in 2 7 years Knight will take his spot. Get ready (in like 1-2 years) to Jump for Jared Knight! Go Nuts for Knight!

New Writing Prospect: Caps

Editor's note: My solicitation for Frolunda HC writers hasn't gotten any Swedes* on board (and if anyone would like to write about it - ideally in English - please drop me a line at hockeyblogadventure at gmail).

*being a Swede not required. Apparently, in European countries it's not uncommon for people to speak more than one language. Crazy.

Anyhow, I did get this submission from a reader who goes by "Caps" but would rather be known as "Cam Neely's Jock." I'm going to put his submission up, and let you, the reader, decide whether you'd like to hear more from him. Here it is:

"Axelsson, career Bruin, signs in Sweden."

As far as I'm concerned, Fluto could've stopped after the first three words. PJ, Per Johan, Axe, whatever you want to call him, personified Bruin. Not the strongest, not the flashiest (by a long shot), and not the fan favorite that other Bruins were during his tenure, PJ, nonetheless, was a Bruin in the purest sense. Hard work, a defense-first mentality, and grit defined the man. From the moment he came on in camp as a rookie, PJ flew under the radar. The duo of first round picks, Joe T and Sergei Samsonov, overshadowed him. We didn't know then, but PJ would outlast them both in Boston, and everyone else on that '97-‘98 team, or anyone until Patrice in 03-04 for that matter. In between then and now, he skated in 851 regular season and playoff games wearing the spoked B. He was a player who could slot in the 4th line and the 1st. Man up, man down, it didn't matter, PJ would be there for Burns, Ftorek, O’Connell, Sullivan, Lewis, and Julien to send over the boards.

On July 27, 2009, however, it was time to say goodbye. In ‘08-‘09, surrounded by a great cast, PJ looked a step slow in the offensive zone, a move behind the opposition on the PK, a second late to get to Savard's passes on the PP. I cringed when injuries forced him onto a scoring line for parts of the season...

The Bruins could have opted for the player they knew best over what was best for the Bruins. But, when I read that PJ was going to Sweden, I was relieved. He had nothing left to prove here. I wish PJ good health and success playing for Frolunda and hope he has no regrets.

So what do you think? I've put a poll in the sidebar for y'all to vote on. --->
Poll ends a week from this post.
