Apologies to my adoring public, its been a while since I posted. This was an exciting second day of the draft for the Bruins, trading up to select Tommy Cross, a big, powerful defenceman out of Westminster Prep right here in CT. We wont see Cross for a while though, as he is planning to play this coming year in the WHL before moving on to Boston College for the 2008-09 year. Physically, Cross is NHL ready now, but having never played above Prep School level, he needs some time against better competition. (Like the kind he faced in the IPH Spring League, wait... he never came.) He will be an interesting player to follow for years to come, and hopefully not another bust like many of the Bruins Draft Picks as of late. As for the rest of the draft, the Bruins didnt select again till the fifth round taking Denis Reul from Germany and in the 6th round they took a pair of defencemen, Alain Goulet from the OPJHL and Radim Ostrcil from the Czech Republic.
