Bruins 2008 draft picks

Yesterday during the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, the Bruins picked #16 in the first round and they picked center Joe Colborne.

Colborne, a 6-5, 190-pound center has spent the past two seasons playing for the Camrose Kodiaks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He was recently honored by being named the Canadian Junior A Hockey League Player of the year for the 2007-08 season.

"This kid can really fire the puck," said Chiarelli of the newest Bruins forward. "He's a good skater…very smart, with offensive acumen. He's a big, strong focused kid."
