Ian McLarenHOST
Matt Potra, perhaps.
Ian McLarenHOST
A prospect like maybe Dean Letourneau or Will Zellers.
Ian McLarenHOST
Mason Lorai, maybe a Frederick Brunais.
Ian McLarenHOST
Or some draft picks, but Higgins, Minton, those are two guys you build around for the foreseeable future.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
They still have ways to go, whether it's external ads, whether it's waiting for some of their younger players in the organization.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
that are currently in the college ranks, like a Dean Letourneau or a Will Zellers, to eventually get to Boston, whether it's waiting for their current younger Bruins, like Hagans and Minton and Bustadinov and Brunet, to continue to develop and get better.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
The Bruins, they're not there yet.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
But what the Hurricanes show is that you can be the best team in the NHL and win a Stanley Cup, even if you don't have the absolute most talent on their roster.
31 MINS LATER
Brian DeFeliceHOST
They have one of the best offensive producers in the world and David Pasternak.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
you know, some young players on the way and James Higgins and Fraser Minton and, and other prospects beyond them.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
Not that Dylan Larkin's paying attention to Dean Lanterna or Will Zellers, but you know, the Bruins have some, they have some good pieces.
Brian DeFeliceHOST
I think even, even Bruins fans who, who may criticize the Bruins more than others, like they acknowledge that the Bruins have good pieces.
ConnorPANELIST
I don't know.
ConnorPANELIST
that do the Bruins have a spot penciled in for a Dean Letourneau or a Will Zellers next season because of you move on from Zaka, Corrali, Middlestat, and guys like Higgins move up the lineup.
ConnorPANELIST
Potra moves up the lineup.
ConnorPANELIST
You have that fourth-line center role that Dean Letourneau could play in with Janot and Kastelik.
Kyle FranzHOST
Coyle was a great Bruin for a long time.
Kyle FranzHOST
Trade him out, but you bring back a prospect who is now in your top three, probably top three prospects in Will Zellers.
Kyle FranzHOST
And Casey Middlestat, who has fit in your lineup very well.
Kyle FranzHOST
He fits everywhere.
Tom CalauttisHOST
Like, we can't just assume that Letourneau is going to be here at the end of the year.
Tom CalauttisHOST
Will Zellers is going to be here at the end of the year and do what James Higgins did.
Tom CalauttisHOST
Might take them a year in Providence, might take them two years.
Tom CalauttisHOST
So I think it, you know, behooves the team to, you know, if they want to make a deal, which it seems like they do, and you want to move Zaka in a bigger trade.
Mike GrinnellGUEST
I do think Boston does have pieces now, though, which I think is important.
Mike GrinnellGUEST
You have Will Zellers, who's one of the best scorers in college hockey.
Mike GrinnellGUEST
You mentioned Dean Letourneau, Pelosi, Grenwall.
Mike GrinnellGUEST
They have all these guys that Like they have prospects now.
ConnorPANELIST
I have a follow-up for you real quick before we move on.
ConnorPANELIST
With the success that we've seen over the last two years with the half-dozen young players, do you think management looks at this coming spring and says, we have a Dean Letourneau or a Will Zellers on the way, and we need to make a spot for one of them to play into? Or do they look at it the complete opposite of we need to find more veterans to fill the roster? Do you think that the success they've had has finally given them some pause on needing to go find more Michael Acemont, Mark Kastelik-type players? Or are they ready to accept playing some younger guys with high-end talent in the lineup?
SmittyHOST
No, I think they're not going to be in a rush to put Zellers and Letourneau on the big club.
SmittyHOST
I think Sweeney said it in an intermission interview on Nessun at some point.
1 HR 9 MINS LATER
MattyHOST
Like, right now...
MattyHOST
Where would you play him unless you traded middle stat and then got this guy?
SmittyHOST
Well, so there's that piece of it, but there's also the piece of you have Dean Letourneau and Will Zellers in the pipeline.
SmittyHOST
So are you going to make those guys wait because you went and got this guy? I mean, I don't know.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
Um, I think it was more of guys, yeah, just didn't pop off the screen.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
Like, you didn't see Will Zellers pop up.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
Max Swanson wasn't visible.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
It's like, I thought Connor Davis had a good game, too.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
So, you want your guys to show up in the big games, which was last weekend and this weekend, too.
Lincoln RetzlaffHOST
Yeah.
David TrinkoHOST
Yeah, hopefully we see more from Will Zellers.
David TrinkoHOST
Hopefully he's a little bit hungrier than he was last weekend.
TommyHOST
You trade in Lena Solmark, you get the pick, you draft Dean Letourneau.
TommyHOST
You have Will Zellers.
TommyHOST
Whether he's a Bruin or not, we'll see.
TommyHOST
But you bring up Matt Patra.
Evan MarinofskyHOST
You're getting a franchise player back.
Conor RyanHOST
And I also really like Will Zellers.
Conor RyanHOST
I like Cooper Simpson.
Conor RyanHOST
I like all these other guys that are also in the system, but like if Will Zellers is going to be the only thing that stops you from getting like an Edmondson, like, I would probably move him, right? Because you already have, like, some guys like that.
Conor RyanHOST
It's not like he's untouchable.
Conor RyanHOST
And then you also add in the fact that you've got guys on this NHL roster who are improving their stock.
