Bruins Eye Hidden Gem at No. 7 Pick: Could This Underrated Prospect Change Their Destiny?
Does Sweeney see any players in this draft who could play as early as next season?
“You never know. The surprises are what they are each year,” Sweeney explained. “I think (sometimes) you find a player who comes out of the gate and looks like he can play right away. Whether that’s acclimation — some of these guys have been injured for a period of time. Are they mature enough and physically ready to play? That’s to be determined.
“The league gets harder as you go along, and you see a lot of these players do get injured when they start out early. But they’re all good players in the upper echelon of the draft. You’ve got some guys who have played pro over in Sweden. It’s a chance to impact your club, whether that’s next year, that remains to be seen.”
