Dean Letournaeu is an extremely physical player and is not just a speed and finesse guy. He's a prototype Center, that's why Sweeney was willing to trade up for this kid if needed.
Interesting I didn't see that from him last year at St. Andrews. I hope this to be true because then if he does become a great player the Bruins really have something
@bruinsdiehards I would chalk that up to him playing U18 AAA more than I would anything else, to be fair. The game is quite a bit less physical all around especially when youre at the final real development stage before Junior/NCAA. Since the U18 AAA and USHS Prep leagues are so much less physical, IMO, it is the hardest stage to guage talent on. Cole Eiserman was ranked #2 coming out of SSM and fell to #20. The Tage Thompson comparisons come based on size alone, although I think there are other big Centers who play a more similar game to Dean.
