Team USA has a unique opportunity to win its third consecutive World Junior Championship Gold Medal this year. The third one would be special, considering it'll happen in the State of Hockey in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota. One Boston Bruins prospect who will undoubtedly have a say in whether the team wins their third straight, and second straight for him, is last year's first-round pick, James Hagens.
It looked like the Bruins might get some more prospects on the list, given a recent roster prediction on social media. However, Will Zellers and Elliott Groenewold were left off the preliminary roster, which includes 15 forwards, 10 defensemen, and three goalies.
