With the 2016 National Hockey League Entry Draft just over a week away, it’s time to close the book on the 2015-16 season and look forward to a busy off-season. The Bruins, fresh of back to back late regular season collapses, hope to mold a team that returns to the postseason in 2016-17.
Thanks to their trade with the San Jose Sharks that sent Martin Jones back to the Western Conference, the Bruins own two first round picks. In the opening round of this year’s draft, the Bruins will select 14th and 29th overall. The 29th pick that came from the Sharks would have been the 30th and final first round selection had they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final.
