NHL Draft: Round 2 traditionally kind to Boston Bruins

Unless the Boston Bruins make a trade, Don Sweeney and his cast of scouts won’t make a selection at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft until the 57th pick. In fact, the Bruins are slated to have only five selections in the entire seven-round draft.

That doesn’t mean the Bruins can’t pick up some important pieces, especially for the developmental depth chart, at the draft that takes place at American Airlines Center in Dallas on June 22-23.
