The popular take here is bruins cant draft... since 2013 weve had only 2 top 5 picks... but im about to show you 6-8 players chosen who were all top 5 quality. Im also going to show 23 players taken in 14 years who are all good picks
Here they are in order selected by year and round and career games

This is just the guys that now look established in nhl. Theres probably at least 7 guys in the system that will end up in nhl as regulars still on the way
Check out this gameday roster of all drafted bruins
Pastrnak/bergeron/marchand
Kessel/seguin/donato
Debrusk/krejci/lucic
Heinen/sobotka/spooner
Mcavoy/gryzlyck
Carlo/hamilton
Benning/hunwick
Subban
4 perennial top 20 scorers... 2 mvp candidates... a dman that appears norris trophy potential
Sure you can point to 4 draft years we struck out... but try to find any team without at least 4 failed draft years. It happens
Bruins success speaks for itself. Weve been drafting amazingly well for at least past 14 years when it all started stealing bergeron in second round
