Boston – If the degrees of the media draft were going to transcript, the Bruise would head to the dean’s list after their first selection to Friday NHL draft.
There was enough universal agreement that the Bruins had made a good choice to take James Hagens at number 7.
Here is a sample of qualifications from all NHL media.

)The Bruins had a clear need for high -end talent in their farm system and an urgent need for talent at the center. In Hagens, they are aimed at both. He is an electric skater, a manipulator and a passerway. It becomes the clear young talent of its organization and, despite the fact that it has been chosen sometimes due to its size and physical, it is projected as a first line potential. “”

Analysis: “ This is a huge victory for the Boston Bruins who, let’s leave it, have not done a great job in recent years.The Bruins are also in the midst of a reconstruction (Retool, anything you want to name), and having a brilliant facilitator as a piece like a piece of this is a great step forward. You can trust him anywhere in the ice. Awesome work we have seen of the three players ahead this season.

“It was not long time when he had considered the most important perspective of this class. Despite its small size, Hagens has an incredible skill and will probably end up as one of the best centers in this draft due to its creative and explosive game. It certainly feels like a robbery for Boston, it is true.”

Degree: A
“Boston Bruins love their advantages. Hagens opened the season as the first potential general selection. He saw his stock slipped, but not for anything he did wrong. The Boston College star is an exceptional two-way game in the center that can take over the games at both ends of the ice. It is more skilled than Snarl, but this is a new age of Bruins’ hockey.“”
