2016 NHL Draft: Boston Bruins Five Realistic Draft Day Scenarios On Day One

It’s no secret that Bruins’ general manager Don Sweeney has a lot of work to do this off-season if he plans on fielding a playoff contender next season. Last season, the then newly-appointed general manager wasted no time in making noise when he traded away Milan Lucic, and Dougie Hamilton while in turn, acquiring draft picks and prospects prior to the draft. In his second season at the helm of the Bruins, Sweeney will need to be better as he attempts to improve the team’s current product on the ice, rather than simply stockpile prospects.

There will be many options for the Bruins come draft day, and it should be an interesting day for fans in Boston to say the last. The last draft-day experience that New England had to endure was the first-round no-show by the New England Patriots as a result of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s harsh punishment for “Deflategate” which was “more than likely” unnecessary and inappropriate.

With Boston finally getting some first round selections to be excited for in the form of Bruins’ draft picks, here are the top five realistic options for the Bruins on draft day.
