The Peterka Gamble: Did Boston's First-Round Bet Pay Off?

The Bruins took a calculated risk on JJ Peterka with their first-round selection, and now the real evaluation begins as the prospect enters his development window. Boston's scouting staff clearly saw something in the young forward that justified the early investment, but the question of whether he'll justify that premium pick remains wide open. This is the kind of decision that defines a GM's tenure - get it right and you're a genius, get it wrong and it haunts you for years.
