It was the offseason of 2015. Then-general manager Peter Chiarelli was fired and newly-anointed GM Don Sweeney began wheeling and dealing; most notably sending Milan Lucic to Los Angeles and Dougie Hamilton north of the border to Calgary. As a result, the Bruins became the first team in National Hockey League history to have three consecutive first-round picks, with selections 13, 14 and 15.
The third of the three picks acquired in the Hamilton deal was Zach Senyshyn, an 18-year old forward for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League.
After two more seasons in the OHL, in which he recorded 65 points in both campaigns, Senyshyn got his first professional action in the 2017 American Hockey League playoffs, skating in four games with the Providence Bruins during their run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
