How are the prospects of the Boston Bruins that are playing overseas doing?

With the announcement that the AHL won’t be starting until February, I figured this would be a good time to give updates on how the Boston Bruins‘ prospects that are playing on loan (and not on loan) overseas are doing.

The Bruins currently have eight prospects playing overseas. Of these eight prospects, two are playing in the Czech league, two are playing in the SHL, one is playing in the Mestis, one is playing in the HockeyAllsvenskan, one is playing in the Liiga, and one is playing in the Slovakian league.

Additionally, none of these prospects are of the age 25 or older. I draw a line at an age of when a player should really be considered a prospect and is worth my attention, this age is 25 years old.

Furthermore, I’ll be breaking this piece up into five slides: this slide, a slide with the two players in the Czech league, a slide with the two players in the SHL, and then two slides for the four that are in four different leagues.
