The Boston Bruins have officially signed forward Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson to an entry-level contract. A two-way, right-handed centerman lauded for his defensive ability. Selected with the 45th overall draft pick by the Boston Bruins and standing 6 foot 1 and roughly 190 pounds. If this player sounds like Patrice Bergeron, it’s because it basically is. The young forward had two solid seasons at Boston University with the Terriers and is now ready to turn pro.
Known for his strong two-way game and ability to impact plays with or without the puck, the prospect known affectionately as “JFK” by those in Boston is officially an NHL player.
