As a contender, the Bruins have traded a few picks in recent years, picked high and two-thirds of their 2015 first-round picks have not looked incredibly promising, resulting in a bottom tier farm system. Some of their recent top picks, like John Beecher, Trent Frederic and Urho Vaakanainen, will never likely be highlight reel types, but they project to supplement the current Bruins stars.



Key additions: John Beecher



Key subtractions/graduations: Connor Clifton, Ryan Donato, Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson
