The Shocking Truth Behind Why the Bruins’ No. 7 Pick Could Make or Break Their Future
Several players who could be available at No. 7 in this year’s draft — such as James Hagens, Jake O’Brien, Brady Martin and Roger McQueen — do have the potential to be top-six centers someday.
One argument for trading the No. 7 pick would be the Bruins have a core of players in their primes and the team needs to capitalize on that window. But the Bruins’ franchise pillars — David Pastrnak (29), Charlie McAvoy (27), Jeremy Swayman (26) and Hampus Lindholm (31) — are not old. Only Lindholm is above the age of 30. If the Bruins draft a good center and develop him for a year or two, that player should be ready to make a genuine impact at the NHL level while those aforementioned veterans still have several good years remaining.
