Seven years ago today, the Boston Bruins front office was at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia getting ready to make a first-round selection in the annual Entry Draft.

That season, the Bruins owned the 25th pick in the first-round and then-general manager Peter Chiarelli made one of his better first-round picks.

With the 25th pick, the Bruins chose a forward, David Pastrnak, from the Czech Republic. Little did the Black and Gold know that Pasta would become one of the NHL’s best goal scorers seven years later.
