It’s attainable that the Boston Bruins will add a chunk to their roster as they give the impression of being to proceed their playoff push within the tight Japanese Convention standings. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported earlier this week on “Day by day Faceoff Reside” that Boston expects that they are going to be signing prospect James Hagens to an entry-level contract.
Boston Faculty was eradicated final evening within the Hockey East semifinals and with them not being excessive sufficient within the NPI rankings to land one of many ten at-large bids to the end-of-season event, a deal may come collectively shortly.
One among six Boston prospects on the Eagles, Hagens was the seventh total choose within the draft final June, falling a bit after coming into the yr as a possible primary choice. With the Bruins needing some affect items down the center of their system, they had been definitely fairly happy that he dropped to them.
After a stable freshman yr that noticed him common some extent per recreation with 11 objectives and 26 assists in 37 appearances, Hagens improved upon a few of these numbers this season. In 34 video games, he potted 23 objectives and 24 assists, main the workforce in scoring by eight factors. (Dean Letourneau, one other Boston first-rounder, was second on Boston Faculty in scoring.)
Assuming that Hagens finally indicators a deal that begins this season, he’d grow to be eligible to play for the Bruins down the stretch and within the postseason in the event that they qualify. Given his success on the NCAA stage, it’s possible that Hagens would slot into the lineup instantly (although doubtlessly as a winger) and if he may give their ahead group a small increase, that may be a giant difference-maker of their playoff push.
