I'm not following the draft this year, but isn't Barzal like a top 5 talent in this draft? Why is he rated so low? Injury or just mediocre play/production?
I don't necessarily care about Gunnarsson or Polak, it's more the idea behind a trade like that. Why give up a pick and retain cap space? This just seems like one of these unnecessary transactions that Nonis likes to make. Guy is a moron.
Absolute steal at 25. He tore up the American league at 18, and has already made an immediate impact in only 8 games so far at the NHL level. He looks like he could be that top line RW that the Bruins have been looking to pair up with Krejci.
