Why the Bruins’ Bold 2025 Draft Strategy Could Change the NHL Forever
Third-round pick Cooper Simpson scored 49 goals in 31 games last season — the most of any Minnesota high school player. He was able to carry that success into the USHL against better competition. Simpson turned 18 this past February, so he’s definitely a raw talent, but his ability to score goals is quite impressive. He’ll play at the University of North Dakota this fall.
Even in the later rounds, the Bruins kept drafting players with high ceilings.
The Bruins struggled to score last season. They ranked 21st in goals scored, 29th in power-play percentage, 31st in high-danger chances and 29th in shots on net at even strength. Only two players — David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie — scored more than 17 goals.
