NHL Draft lottery III -May 5th- Bruins locked into 5th before ping pong balls.

I get 15 minutes one-on-one time with The One today. Looking forward to it.

The One is the projected number one pick.

He’s got an 8.5 % of being a Bruins

Jake o Brien sounds like he is a lot like David krecji.

Bob Mackenzie’s final top 12.

Still interesting to hear Bruins have been scouting Mrtka and Martin…

It's not the Final, they do it again in June. Why? Clicks baaaaby!

Me too. I've watched them all. Has me excited for the top 7 or 8 of this draft. As long as the Bruins don't go completely off the board.

I inherently like these two players, but please stop putting this out in the universe. It raises my cortisol levels every time I read it lmao.

I beg Don and Cam to stay with the consensus board wherever they land.

Where are you getting this? That one tweet that was just listing all the players in the tourney that were draft eligible?

Yep, might be doing a trade down, probably for something small but you never know.

Im just assuming it more so means they are looking at options that may not include their own 1st round? Who knows, but I’m all for getting Hagens AND Mrtka

I think it was Divver and someone else? Maybe just him, can’t remember…

I like your optimism! But I think moving back up would require a 2026 1st and I don't think the Bruins are in a position to be trading that pick. I want as many picks in these next 2 drafts as possible.

It stinks the Bruins don't have their own second because I'm liking a decent amount of these guys at the end of the 1st/early second. LJ Mooney impressed me at U18s.

Yea I’m not really into swapping 2026 for 2025 either. But if you’re including a 2026 1st in something for a legit player, by all means, picks are not precious, players are. Toronto or our own 1st could easily be mid to late 1st, and we don’t need more of those gambles, we need impact players. Can always make something top 10/12 protected too.

Also not against trading back this year, especially if you are in that 6/7 pick. What if you could have Pettersson and their 15OA (Martin/ Carbonneau) in some sort of deal? You get your top line center right now, with a decent pick to develop, rather than wondering if Desnoyers/McQueen is ready for 2nd line duty in 2028. Makes a couple names like Zacha, Mittelstadt, Poitras even more expendable for trade.

Holy poop. According to my guy Bob bruins could easily land Hagens. That would be unreal. Blistering speed and high end passing. Exactly what this team needs.

They could... but will they pick him?

 

[Fenian24]

I know they are going to wind up with this kid, even if they pick 2nd. He will then become a bust as he has been dropping as the more people that have seen him the more he falls. Casey Mittlestadt 2.0

Boston College centre James Hagens, No. 2 on the mid-season list, is the only one who slipped, checking in at No. 5. Scouts seem to be more or less evenly split on the reasoning. Some say his play has tailed off; others say he was simply leapfrogged by Misa, Martone and Frondell; a few suggest it was a combination of both factors.

Jesus Christ what a terrible take and comparison.

Eklund is too low IMO

If they stay at 5 or even drop to 6 it could be a very high possibility. As Id could easily see Schaefer,Misa Frondell and Martone going ahead of him, possibly even Desnoyers.

I hope Desnoyers is still there when the Bruins Draft

 

[Boston Bandit]

These are the 1st round draft picks from 2024. You can see the majority have not played in the NHL or made much of an impact at the NHL level yet.

Players take time to develop and more than likely whoever the Bruins select will not be playing next season.

What a kid. No ego.

Kid feels that the injury may have hurt his draft stock. He really doesn't think he will go number one. Doesn't care who drafts him but said it would be a huge honor to go to an original six team. His dream is to play in the NHL and be the best he can be for the team that drafts him.

He was told that every team intends on interviewing him at the combine. Doesn't know yet if he will be able to participate in all the testing.
