Not every precious gem is easy to find.
Some, like gold, can literally be picked out of the water if you're lucky enough to find the right river. Some, like sapphires, you can make yourself with access to a Bunsen burner, time and the right chemicals (no, really).
And then there are diamonds. Forged deep out of human sight, using immense reserves of pressure, time and energy, they are the gems everyone knows are there and wants to find, but it requires a bit of faith in them.
It is diamond-mining in the draft that makes NHL teams from good to great - and in Mississauga's pugnacious forward Nathan Bastian, there is a damn good reason for Boston and any NHL teams to make sure they're there digging at the lower end of the first round after all the "easy" gems have been stripped away.
