Quoting: pharrow
AZ easily declines this. I know boston fans want to believe Acciari is some good young player, he had that one year of 10 goals. But there are now 3 years worth of playing that says otherwise.
He ain't scored a goal in 30 games this year. Zboril is about to be 22 years old. His second season in the AHL. For a 1st round pick, you'd like to see him have made an impact by now. Come year two in the AHL you should be making your jump over if you are going to make it and be an impact player of any caliber. So this idea that AZ is gonna give up a 21 year old who is figuring out how to play at the NHL level is kind of weak. No way AZ makes that trade.
I get what you are saying, but the exact same thing could be said about Crouse? yes, he has been up for parts of three seasons, but he hasn't been producing. 8 goals in 118games and he'll be 22 before the draft. Acciari has 12 in 139. Nobody thinks Acciari is that good. He is a serviceable 4th line energy guy who can PK, like he said.
As for Zboril - I tend to agree he should be up by now (and he was), but the fact is the Bruins have a ton of depth at D. I think he has developed a little slower than they would have liked, but he would have been up on many teams. Lauzon is probably on more than 50% of other teams rosters too . Also - I mean Chara, Grzelyk, Moore and Krug have the left side pretty much locked up. He is much better served playing against top line in the AHL. No, I don't think he'll be a stud, but it's looking like neither will Crouse.
Crouse seems to get beat up a lot. Although I think the Bruins would Benefit from someone with a mean streak, they also need to be able to play.
Acciari is 27. Nobody thinks he is young. He is league minimum player that can play 10m a night and not kill you.
