I believe the Bruins want this player, and they might pick him even if they won the lottery

James Hagens - C - Boston College - 2025 NHL Draft Profile and Stats

I'd be shocked if they took a Boston College player

To be honest, I don't know much about Hagens, although some prospect sites have him at #2 or #3 and one site has him at #1 ..so he might not even be available

..what are the chances of him being another Johnny Beecher??

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Desnoyers. Desnoyers. Desnoyers.

Say it with me. Make it true.

 

[mar2kbos]

I would like to thank myself for whining about no call ups and boom call up.

Finally a reason to watch. Here’s to Minten looking good and Lysell showing something more. Very surprised both will be in the lineup

 

[Mione134]

Cool that Fraser is up.


I'm sure he'd rather be on a more competitive team like Prov right now lol

But hey, it'll be nice to watch him and Lysell.

Unlikely. Think more Jack Hughes or Johnny Hockey


I think the top 3 will be Schaefer, Misa, Frondell and if the Bruins are 4th then Hagens could be a good pick

I want misa or frondell the most, both would mesh well with pasta and extend his window

I don't give a shit. I don't root for failure and certainly not manufactured failure. It is embarrassing and hypocritical.

I fully understand the reasoning behind embracing the tank. I get it 100%, but I have to agree with you. I want them to win every game and have since I was five years old. In fact, I can remember crying when they got eliminated, but that was way back in 2023.
I want the crappy bunch we ice every night to give their all and try to WIN! Besides, what difference does a draft pick make when you know numbskull is going to pull a “Shenny” on us anyways.

Once Minten Twice Shy! LFG!!!!

I hope they win every game from here on out....as long as every team in draft position 5-15 wins every one of their games also

Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins
7 p.m.

Carolina clinched another spot in the postseason this week, and in all likelihood will be the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division (barring an epic collapse by the Capitals to boost them to first, or by themselves to drop to third). Meanwhile, the Bruins are likely going to miss the postseason, which would be the first time since 2015-16. On the bright side, they're currently fourth in the draft lottery order, a point ahead of the Kraken and Sabres

Seattle at San Jose tonight
Let's get Kraken !!!!

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Lose.

Get the highest draft pick possible and break the longest Bruins losing streak on top of it.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right goddamnit

 

[lopey]

Id watch tonight but got a dinner.

 

[lopey]

Want a full report on Minten. Lol

 

[nORRis8]

Correct.

Right out of the1996-97 Harry playbook.

Bad coach in place. Trade vets for young players and pick. Go 5-14 after the that. Secure top pick (Joe Thornton). Get real coach (Pat Burns) the next season and make the playoffs.

On all counts.

These guys are just thrown in. Late season training camp.
We cut some fat off something that was going to happen now or later. But with the contracts coming up it had to be done now.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Think more Jack Hughes or Johnny Hockey

That'd be great

Both those guys are/were around a point per game in their careers

..so that'd be much better than Beecher who's around a point per month

 

[Bruin4]

Minten making Bruins history already

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Yippee

[NeelyDan]

Look what happened to the Patriots with one meaningless win. I don’t know how someone can really love the Bruins and not want them to improve their lottery odds at this point. These games mean nothing at all. What’s to gain from them winning?

Seriously, this. It’s just the appropriate way to view things at this point.

 

[UConn126]

Loving this classic Whalers-Bruins match on NESN+ right now. I would've been 4 months old for this one lol.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

On my way to the Gahden to meet @Ladyfan
I have rooted for Bruins to win for 60+ years, at this point it’s genetic and ingrained. I understand the long game of tanking, but when I’m at the game it’ s always and forever:
Here we go here we go!!

This guy? He was a Leaf fan, bah.

Minten making Bruins history already

Out of all the prospects (which isn’t many lol) he is the one I have been most excited about to see with the big club

I hope he stays and never returns to the AHL

 

[khanomcat]

I get the conflict, win or get a better draft position. I’ve often thought tanks could be avoided if the draft position were reversed for teams outside the playoffs. So, if you place 17th in the league at the end of the regular season, you get the first overall pick, 18th, you get the second, etc. Wouldn’t that make everyone want to win every game, and prevent teams from purposely tanking? Might be missing something...

It is an interesting suggestion and what is the harm in exploring it. There's nothing wrong with trying to add a smidge of integrity back into the game.
