Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Boston Bruins had a chance to have the sixth or seventh overall pick as well as their own first-round pick, but after the Toronto Maple Leafs won the draft lottery, Boston will only have the 23rd overall pick.Although not getting a top-10 pick is disappointing, the Bruins still can add a solid prospect at 23rd overall to be a future impact player for Boston. Ahead of the NHL Draft, The Athletics Scott Wheeler and Corey Pronman released their latest mock draft and had Boston selecting right winger Elton Hermansson out of MoDo.The Bruins had success drafting a talented winger out of HockeyAllsvenskan in the late first round once before, Wheeler wrote in an article published on Tuesday. We wont set those kinds of expectations for the highly skilled Hermansson, but the Bruins are willing to try to go two-for-two. His 21 points in 38 games isnt far off from the 24 points in 36 games that a certain someone produced in 2013-14, either!Hermansson played his first season in the top Swedish league and as an 18-year-old rookie, recorded 11 goals and 10 assists for 21 points in 38 games. And, as Wheeler noted, his point total in the top Swedish league as an 18-year-old isnt far off from what David Pastrnak did, which should give Boston fans some excitement.The 6-foot-1 right winger would add some more offense to the Bruins top-six, but would likely be a year or two away from reaching the NHL.The 2026 NHL Draft is set for June 26-27 in Buffalo.
