Bruins First Pick - Zach Hamill
With the 8th pick in the NHL Draft the Boston Bruins select...Zach Hamill? Going into the draft most people expected the B's to take Denfenceman Keaton Ellerby (#10 to Florida) or Centre Angelo Esposito (#20 to Pittsburgh) but instead the Bruins took Hamill, a center from the Everett Silvertips of the WHL, where he was the regular season scoring champion. He played for a former NHL coach in Kevin Constantine, so he is comfortable in that style of system. Although he is small, 5'11 and 190lbs, but he is very quick and an accurate shooter. The Bruins have little top line potential, so Hamill should aid that issue. When he will join the Bruins, almost certainly the Providence Bruins, is unknown.

matt, he cant play for providence. he came out of juniors. hes too young. the rule is its either beantown or back to everett. same thing happened with joey thorton. they had to keep him up in boston or lose him back in juniors. hamill will most likely stay in everett until hes old enough for the rule not to affect him. then we'll see him in black and gold.
