wouldnt it just be your luck if the Bruins got the 3rd pick and had to take Cam Fowler? just what they DONT need, another defenseman, they need scoring and even if they get Seguin or Hall, neither will probably be NHL ready for at least 2-3 years so say NHL Scouts. Dont get me wrong, Fowler is a great prospect, just not gonna solve the B's offensive woes
Your best bet might be to trade the Pick for a top six forward if any team would/can afford to do so. Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes and what pick Boston ends up with via the Leafs, but we are more than happy to have Kessel, and i hope the Bruins get a decent player, but dont think Hall or Sequin are the next coming of Crosby Malkin or Alexander the Great, there not.
Hall is a very good prospect, dont get me wrong, but his frame is not NHL ready yet, they list him as 6'1 185lbs, but he is nowhere close to that, knowing others who have seen him play alot, he is at most 5'11 170 and needs to add at least 20 lbs of muscle before he can withstand the physical abuse of a full NHL season, thus he will either be in the minors at least one season, or be in the nhl but not have much production, the kid is young and needs to learn, if he was as big as John Taveras or Crosby when they were drafted, i would say keep him the whole season, but he is to easily knocked off his feet, case in point the recent WJC. and the guys in the NHL are ALOT bigger/tougher than anyone playing in the WJC tournament.
Seguin i think will end up being a better player quicker, and maybe overall, but time will tell with him also. Seguin had as many points this season as Hall, yet no supporting cast around him at all compared to Hall. Seguins team scored 86 less goals this season than Halls team. Hall had MUCH more talented players around him, so if the Bruins end up getting Seguin, that doesnt mean their having to settle for 2nd best, not by a long shot. Good Luck, and TY for KESSEL!
As a Bruins fan I'm actually getting a wee bit worried that the Leafs may creep into 28th place since the NY Islanders are only 4 points up on them now!!
