For the first time since 2011, the Boston Bruins are set to pick in the top-10 of an NHL Draft.
Boston found out where it would pick in the draft order on Monday evening, 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.
