The Bruins traded back from the 69th pick (nice), and got Forward Cooper Simpson from the Tri-City Storm!:
Here’s what EliteProspects’ Draft Guide had to say:
An explosive skater, Simpson blends pace, puckhandling, and separation shooting to overwhelm opposing defenders and goaltenders. He boasts a diverse deke package, executes plays in both tight and open space, and uses deception masterfully around the crease. His shot is highly adaptable – slinging catch-and-release efforts with precision and unleashing a lightning-quick wrist-fold release...presents a classic upside swing who could easily outperform his eventual draft slot. With top-nine potential as a dynamic,speed-driven winger, Simpson is set to join the University of North Dakota for the 2025-26 season — likely stepping into ascoring role right away.
