The Bruins selected forward Seth Griffith with their first fifth-round pick (131st overall) in the draft Saturday. The pick was acquired in a trade with the Lightning, when the Bruins dealt the rights to Benoit Pouliot for the pick and Michel Ouellet.

Griffith led the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League in goals and points in the 2011-12 season, recording 45 goals and 85 points in 68 games. He also led his team in points during the playoffs, when the Knights were runners-up for the Memorial Cup. The 19-year-old Wallaceburg, Ontario, native is 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds.

Griffith played alongside former Bruins second-round pick Jared Knight last season in London.

    Griffith sounds good, Oulette sounds like a guy whose only shot at the NHL would be on an expansion team. I hope he dosen’t mind playing in the minors, and I don’t think he’ll even make Providence.

     So, he’s so bad he won’t make Providence, but he’s good enough to play on an NHL expansion team? I’m not quite sure I follow your logic.
