Former Boston Bruins first-round bust finds a home for 2025-26

It has been 10 years since the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney swung and missed on the first round of the 2015 Entry Draft. Sweeney connected on just one of three consecutive first-round picks at 13, 14, and 15.

Sweeney's first-ever pick as GM of the Black and Gold was defenseman Jakub Zboril, followed by forwards Jake DeBrusk at No. 14 and Zach Senyshyn at No. 15. Of the trio, the only one to carve out a full-time NHL career was DeBrusk, who thrived for the Bruins, but he left in free agency last summer to sign a long-term deal with the Vancouver Canucks.
