Bruins land McQuaid for 5th round pick (i.e. please get these playoffs over with so that we can sign someone of substance)

You know it’s a slow news month when this becomes the biggest Bruins news since Tuukka Rask joining Providence to essentially just sit around and pander to the locals. (What? No Dropkick Murphys?)

On a few positive notes though:

  • The Bruins *do* need defensive help
  • The dude *was* the 55th overall selection in 2005
  • Hockeysfuture.com earlier today (before they changed the team he was on) listed him as the 9th best prospect in the Blue Jackets organization.
  • His offensive numbers nearly doubled this year (well, from 17 points to 31 points, but he *is* a “defensive-minded” defenseman)

Hey, for a fifth round pick? I’ll take it.

I just hope they find better video out there for the kid than this…

    Hey, one player at a time! Hopefully this kid’ll be fine…once he pulls his face off that plexiglass.
