James Hagens falling to No. 7 was best-case scenario for Bruins in NHL Draft

The Boston Bruins didn’t have any luck in the NHL Draft Lottery last month when they landed the No. 7 pick, which was literally the worst possible outcome for the Original Six franchise.

Fortunately for the Bruins, they got some good luck in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft on Friday night when Boston College star James Hagens fell to them at the No. 7 pick.

Arthur T. Demoulas, the famous CEO of New England supermarket chain Market Basket, was placed on an administrative leave just about a month ago — and still, a lot of questions and uncertainty remain about his and the company’s future.
