26th Overall- Jack McBain
Coming in at 26th overall on Bob Mckenzie’s mid-season rankings, is Toronto native Jack McBain. The last name will be familiar to seasoned hockey fans. Jack’s father Andrew was selected 8th overall by the Winnipeg Jets.
Jack McBain possesses all the attributes of being a successful pivot for the Boston Bruins. Standing at 6’3″, 196lbs, McBain could be the heir to Bergeron and Krejci. The Hockey News were raving about him a full year ago.
Currently plying his trade in OJHL with the Toronto Junior Candiens, McBain has 49 points in 41 games. That’s the only interesting point is that he didn’t push to play in either the CHL or USHL this year.
Whilst Boston Possess ample depth at centre, it is a relatively ageing core with a cup window on the horizon. McBain will need three years to crack the lineup, by that time Bergeron and Krejci may well be on the decline with the B’s.
