The Bruins’ three-day Development Camp provides the brass with an idea on their prospects’ progression both on and off the ice. Some players, including all five of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, are a little further away from making the jump to the pros. Others are much closer to tasting the big time.
A pair of Swedish prospects, Axel Andersson and Oskar Steen, fall in the latter category.
Andersson, a 2018 second-round pick, has a blue-chip pedigree and traits that the Bruins’ brass value immensely.
The athletic 6-foot-1, 179-pound Jarna, Sweden native provides traits that many scouts blush over.
