Interesting insight into a drafting philosophy.
*
Bruins scouting boss Scott Bradley and his staff have done quite a job of stocking the organization with talented prospects at every position since the British Columbia native took over the position full time in 1997.
In the seven years that Bradley has been in charge of running Boston’s draft table, the B’s have landed impact players such as Joe Thornton, Sergei Samsonov, Andrew Raycroft, Jonathan Girard, Nick Boynton and Patrice Bergeron. Others, such as 2001 first-rounder Shaone Morrisonn, have been used to bring in top-shelf talent from outside the organization (Sergei Gonchar). Hannu Toivonen, Martin Samuelsson, Andy Hilbert, Mark Stuart, Andrew Alberts, Lars Jonsson and Vladislav Evseev are all Bradley draft picks who may yet evolve into regular contributors in Boston down the line.
Bradley and company have made names for themselves by seeking out talent in the middle rounds that have in turn elevated their stock in subsequent seasons, earning the Bruins a nod within the NHL ranks as one of the strongest staffs in the league.
