  1. I'm with u Pete. Why was he not drafted? Hopefully he is a late bloomer and will become a steal. More depth for P-Bruins.

  1. FYI, watched a couple of his scraps on youtube, they pronounced his name quit.

  1. Kweit is good skater, but it was hard to keep track of the guys with just numbers on their backs.
