Boston Bruins: Top 10 Draft Picks From The Last 20 Years

Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Bruins have drafted some incredibly talented players over the last 20 years, including current Bruins, former Bruins, and retired NHL players. Selecting only 10 players from 20 years of drafting is a tough task, but the following list includes some of the best names to ever wear a Bruins jersey; even if their respective tenure as a Bruin was short-lived.

    • Over the last 20 years, the Boston Bruins have employed four full-time General Managers and one interim General Manager. Harry Sinden was the team’s General Manager from 1972 until the year 2000, and he saw some very successful teams over that time. While he never won the Stanley Cup — Sinden took over for Milt Schimdt after the 1972 Stanley Cup victory — he did build teams that made appearances in the Stanley Cup finals in 1974, 1977, 1978, 1988, and 1990. When Mike O’Connell took over as the Bruins’ General Manager in 2000, he didn’t see much success in terms of playoff appearances or wins, but he certainly made some solid draft picks which helped the Bruins even to this day. Jeff Gorton was the interim General Manager in 2006 before Peter Chiarelli took over, and out of each General Manager listed above, only Chiarelli can boast a Stanley Cup winning team during his tenure as the team’s General Manager. Don Sweeney only took over for the Bruins in 2015, and while he had a very busy first draft, it’s too soon to determine whether or not any of his draft picks will end up being booms, or busts.

    Without further delay, here are the top 10 draft picks that the Bruins have selected over the last 20 years.
