For the first time since 2007 the Bruins will pick in the top half of the first round using their own pick. If there's an upside to missing the playoffs, it's the increased odds at drafting a future asset. And what a time to own a top-15 pick with such a deep draft - assuming 2015 lives up to the hype.
If you missed any of the first 13 picks, you can get caught up with all of the past picks, including profiles, here. And now, on behalf of the Boston Bruins, we at Stanley Cup of Chowder would like to congratulate Chicago on doing their Chicago thing, and we're excited to select Timo Meier (RW/C) of the Halifax Mooseheads out of the QMJHL.
