Last week, I started my 2017-18 Bruins’ prospect pyramid project (say that 5 times fast…) with a resounding bang. You can find Part 1 here.

Niklas Svedberg   9-4-89

The story of Svedberg started off with great promise as a possible steal for the Boston Bruins as he was heavily scouted out of the Swedish Elite League and signed as an undrafted free agent to a three-year entry-level deal in May of 2012.

They say that experience is the best teacher–that has always seemed to be one of those timeless truths that can apply to any facet of life.  And the same is true for hockey, as it has its history, values and traditions that have been passed down ever since its inception.
