How did O’Brien’s 2020-21 hockey season go? Is his stock trending up or down from where it was entering the year?

It’s been a bit of a strange road for O’Brien, but after a rough freshman season with Providence College and then a season in Pentiction of the BCHL before transferring to Boston University, he’s finally looking to be getting himself back on track. He was the Terriers’ most productive forward this season—tied with defenseman David Farrance with 16 points—and was given a significant role, playing big minutes in all situations, from the jump.
