Just a few minutes ago at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Boston Bruins selected BU defenseman Charlie McAvoy as their first pick of the draft and the 14th pick overall.
This is a great pick for the Black and Gold. The Boston Bruins needed a defenseman that could quickly transition into the NHL. They found that in McAvoy.
