For the first time since 2011, the Bruins are set to pick in the top-10 of an NHL Draft. But fortune did not favor Boston on Monday night.
Boston found out where it would pick in the draft order Monday, with the NHL Draft lottery determining that the Bruins would pick No. 7 overall in the upcoming draft — which will be held in Los Angeles from June 27-28.
The Bruins — who have been hindered by the absence of a franchise fixture down the middle since the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci — will now have a chance to add a promising talent ahead of what stands to be a busy offseason.
