From Hockey's Futures assessment of the Bruin's system:
I like the Bruins prospect pool more than the Pens when it comes for looking at a trade. The Pens have a lot of D prospects but not a lot of desirable forwards. |
Well Weisbrod was a pro scout from 2006-08 so hard to credit him for those picks. From 2008-10 there aren't many guys on your list that were chosen and they are mainly low on the list the ones that are there. Plus hard to tell the role that he played as the Collegiate scout not head guy.
Boston may have a deep prospect pool but it doesn't seem to come from drafts that Weisbrod was a part of.

Seems like a fairly flimsy argument to support a guy considering those guys have played a grand total of 15 NHL games and of course you like the a recent draft of your favorite team. Fans always overrate their prospects and especially the guys that are shiny and new.
