Well, it's almost here. Yes, I'm talking about the NHL draft. In case you didn't notice, the draft takes place this Friday night at the Staples Center in LA. Sorry Celtics fans. As of right now I haven't seen, read, or heard of a mock draft that doesn't have the Edmonton Oilers selecting Taylor Hall first overall. That means the Bruins are "stuck" with talented center Tyler Seguin. I have no doubt Seguin is going to be a franchise player, but personally I will feel disappointed without Taylor Hall.
Why? The Bruins don't need another center. What they need is a top notch goal scorer that plays the wing. I feel like the Bruins are left with no choice but to trade Savard or Bergeron. There are rumors that include Savard in a package being sent to Columbus in return for the 4th overall pick. I'd have no problem with this if it were true, but from what I've heard it isn't. I'd love to leave the draft with Seguin and Cam Fowler, a solid young defender being compared to Brian Leetch. I just don't see it happening. I guess what you have to do is understand that no matter what, the Boston Bruins are going to get a game changing player they can insert into the lineup from day one.
What do you think? Am I crazy?
