  • The Bruins selected Urho Vaakanainen , a left-shot defenseman, at #18. WEEI
  • Motoring right along, the Peter Chiarelli pick yielded a two-way forward at #53, and continued with an Alaskan netminder who is destined for UMaine, another forward, and a final pair of defensemen. WEEI
  • Kirk Luedeke offers his astute assessment of each new prospect- Cedric Pare, Daniel Bukac, Jack Studnicka, Jeremy Swayman, Scott Bradley, Victor Berglund, and Vaakanainen. Scouting Post
