The Phil Kessel trade is the reason why the Bruins have the #9 overall pick despite having just won the Stanley Cup.
Notably, the Bruins have already netted the #2 overall pick of 2010, in Tyler Seguin. A potential superstar center who broke out with 4 points (2G, 2A) in the Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning, leading the Bruins to a huge 6-5 win in game 2.
And the Kessel trade is the trade that keeps giving. Now the Bruins have another selection in the 2011 draft at the #9 slot. Who are the likely candidates?
Defense: The Bruins would like to pair a top defenseman with Chara or perhaps gain a young redline star in the future to look to replace him down the road.
Candidates:
Nathan Beaulieu, 6'3, 191, ON, CA
Dougie Hamilton, 6'4 193, ON, CA
Ryan Murphy, 5'11 176, ON, CA
Offense: The Bruins are stacked at center and Seguin has the potential to be a 1st line center in the future. Therefore wing is likely a bigger need than center if the Bruins choose offense.
Candidates:
Mika Zibanejad, 6'2 192, Sweden
Sven Bartschi, 5'10 185, Switzerland
Joel Armia, 6'3 187, Finland
Mark McNeill, 6'2 210, Edmonton, CA
