For just the fourth time since 2017, the Bruins will officially be on the clock in the first round of the NHL Draft.
Boston re-acquired its own 2024 first-round pick (No. 25 overall) on Monday, plucking it from the Senators in what stands as the top return for dealing Linus Ullmark to a fellow Atlantic Division opponent.
Boston’s 2024 first-rounder has changed hands a couple of times already. It was first acquired by the Red Wings in the trade involving Tyler Bertuzzi in March 2023, but Detroit shipped it to the Senators as part of the Alex DeBrincat deal four months later.
