## Resource

Boston Bruins at pick 23 this year—down from last year’s top-7 spot and facing a deeper, more spread-out talent pool. With eight picks total, GM Don Sweeney is eyeing defensemen and right wingers to address needs, but the classic draft dilemma looms: draft for need or take the best available? Top prospects like Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg are out of reach unless something crazy happens, but players like Keaton Verhoeff and Daxon Rudolph could fall into their range. Potential targets include Swedish forward Elton Hermansson, WHL standout JP Hurlbert, Russian center Ilia Morozov, and power forward Maddox Dagenais. On defense, Xavier Villeneuve (offensive defenseman) and Tommy Bleyl (right-shot rookie record-setter) are intriguing, along with forward Liam Ruck. Sweeney’s history of surprise picks makes this a wild card—will he go consensus or gamble on someone overlooked? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
