0:00
yeah chirp six here's your W nelli Bruin
0:05
Minnesota Captain Jackson Nelson a big
0:08
Center 6 foot4 220 pounds 24 years old
0:12
played Five Seasons at Minnesota 11
0:15
goals in his last eight games a late
0:17
blooming offensive player uh you know
0:20
the compete level was it always there
0:22
that type of thing didn't put a lot of
0:24
great offensive numbers up until the
0:26
last season really um and then what
0:29
happens what happened to graph and
0:32
quillin quillin goes and signs with
0:34
Toronto of all teams and graph now up in
0:37
the air and people people I've uh seen
0:40
talk about him say maybe the Rangers
0:43
could be there and that the Bruins are
0:45
haven't been in it at all really so um
0:49
it looks like Nelson is the guy that
0:51
they land on is at third college free
0:53
agent yeah I don't I I I don't mind the
0:56
sighting because he's a big guy he's a
0:58
center and he can score goals so um some
1:02
some size down the middle is is never a
1:04
bad thing um I don't know how he is on
1:07
faceoffs I I can honestly say I've seen
1:10
him play maybe twice maybe right right
1:13
so I don't really have a a very good
1:16
scouting report on the guy um but I hope
1:18
I hope he works out I hope he works out
1:21
uh because you know as we've touched on
1:23
many many times on here without with the
1:25
lack of draft Capital that the Bruins
1:28
have and lack of draft picks they really
1:30
need to hit on some of these undrafted
1:31
free agent guys so hopefully um Mr
1:35
Nelson here can turn into something for
1:37
the bees and and uh you know he's a a
1:40
part of their future going
1:41
forward yeah uh you know I here's the
1:44
thing that they like about him I'm sure
1:47
same as John fonci with Harvard is that
1:49
he was a captain and has leadership
1:51
qualities the Bruins have really focused
1:54
on in the last several years since chaer
1:57
arrived really on the room and the
2:01
leadership and character and things of
2:04
that nature and by all accounts Jackson
2:06
is a you know was a leader for that team
2:09
and a captain and uh he's mature at 24 I
2:12
mean he's there's similarities to
2:14
Farinacci when he came over from Harvard
2:17
so that's another that's another part of
2:19
it I think too is sure um and he's he's
2:22
big like you said he's a center which
2:24
they need you know sort of Desperately
2:28
um so I don't know I mean he had a good
2:31
end of the season I think he had ended
2:32
up with 19 goals I think this year yeah
2:36
19 had 11 in his last eight like he
2:39
really caught fire at the end of the
2:41
year um but he was a guy 24 years old
2:43
playing against 19 20 years old year
2:45
olds too so that's the other part of it
2:48
too but it'll be interesting to see how
2:49
he does in Providence you know I think
2:52
um you know we'll see how he does he's
2:54
going to do he's going to do an atto
2:55
there and see if he gets some time see
2:58
see how he does I think I think it's
3:00
still a long shot for him to be anything
3:01
but a a fill in bottom you know fourth
3:06
line guy bottom six kind of guy just
3:09
because his offensive Productions not
3:11
not been great when he was in high
3:13
school I looked back he had like 260
3:15
points in high school something hope I
3:17
mean I think he has a lot of skill and
3:20
maybe it's just you know it's he's
3:22
either a late bloomer or like you said
3:25
the commitment hasn't been there so you
3:27
know we'll see maybe as he's becoming a
3:30
professional now he's kind of fig and
3:31
he's you know a little older than the
3:34
normal kids coming out of the draft and
3:35
so forth that he's figured it out and if
3:37
he has that's great and the Bruins have
3:39
got a steal but if he hasn't you know
3:41
he'll be a you know a triaa guy or ECHL
3:45
guy going forward If he if he you know
3:47
doesn't put in the work and and uh you
3:50
know consistently play with the effort
3:52
that the Bruins demand from their from
3:54
their guys and here's a quick little
3:56
tiet uh tidbit tidbit golfers were
4:00
eight- one when he scored a goal how's
4:02
that so there you go when he scores his
4:06
hockey club is pretty much dominant
