Boston Bruins: Prospect pipeline ranked a miserable 29th
The Boston Bruins have found themselves ranked as the 29th best current prospect pipeline, with their lack of draft picks this summer likely playing a role.
Every summer, Corey Pronman over at The Athletic (subscription required) takes the time to have an in-depth look at the prospect pipeline for each NHL side and rank them accordingly. Placing the Boston Bruins at 29th is really no different to last season’s lowly 27th ranking.
His system only looks at those prospects under the age of 23 and doesn’t value those playing overseas as highly as those playing for the Providence Bruins, it’d seem. As such, the departure of Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson back to his homeland likely has impacted us.
