Summary
The Bruins surprise fans by drafting massive 18-year-old Canadian defenseman Jacob Vandeven in the fifth round—his first North American pick after selecting four European prospects. Standing 6’6” and weighing over 200 pounds, Vandeven showed flashes of potential late last season with the London Knights, scoring in playoff games. While not expected to play immediately, his size and upside make him a long-term project worth watching as he develops in Boston.
