The Boston Bruins faced an unfortunate turn in the NHL Draft Lottery, dropping to the No. 7 pick despite having a 14.2% chance of remaining higher. General Manager Don Sweeney expressed confidence in still acquiring top-tier talent despite this setback. The draft is particularly rich in center prospects, aligning with the Bruins' needs. However, if the top centers are taken early, the team may look at skilled wingers or other positions. There is concern over potential divergence in talent tiers, meaning the Bruins must prepare contingency plans for their pick.
If the Bruins need to pivot because those top-rated centers aren't available, where else could they turn? Beyond the eight prospects we've already mapped out, here are an additional three players who could present Boston with high-end skill.
The 2025 Draft pool is heavy on centers, which stands as a good sight for a Bruins team in need of talent down the middle.
