He scored 10 goals with seven assists in 35 AHL games. Lauko spent most of the 2022-23 season with the Providence Bruins. He also appeared in three games during the first-round series versus the Florida Panthers.
He got 23 games of regular season action for Boston this past season, and he tallied seven points (four goals, three assists). Lauko is on the edge of being a prospect and someone who could be in the NHL full time. It's unlikely he'll make his NHL debut in 2023-24, but he's definitely a prospect to watch given Boston's needs at center long term. After three seasons in the OHL, it's time for a full campaign in Providence.
Harrison signed his entry-level contract last August. He tallied 69 points (34 goals, 35 assists) in 65 games between the Oshawa Generals and Windsor Spitfires, after posting 61 points (27 goals, 34 assists) in 65 games for the Generals in 2021-22. He didn't put up eye-popping scoring numbers in the OHL this past season, but he did improve on his 2021-22 totals.
Harrison was a third-round pick of the Bruins in 2021. His offensive game hasn't developed as expected - 12 goals in 70 career AHL matchups - but he has become a solid defensive-minded forward who can be trusted to make the right plays and win puck battles in his own zone. One of the hopes with Beecher when the Bruins selected him at the end of the first round in 2019 was that he could be somewhat of a reliable scorer at the NHL level. His size, at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, is ideal for a bottom-six role, too. He excelled on the penalty kill with the P-Bruins this past season and played with the kind of physicality you need from a fourth liner. Beecher is a potential candidate for that role.
The Bruins will need a bottom-six center if Tomas Nosek leaves in free agency. That said, there are still some good prospects with NHL potential in the system. Here's how the Bruins' top seven prospects fared during the 2022-23 season. Bruins roster reset: List of 2023 free agents, salary cap update 30, ahead of only the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning. In fact, The Athletic's most recent rankings in January had the Bruins at No. Boston's prospect pool also ranks among the worst.
