Les Bruins de Boston ont rédigé James Hagens 7e au classement général au repêchage de l’entrée dans la LNH 2025. Il joue pour le Boston College, mais que devraient attendre des fans de lui et quand devraient-ils s’attendre à le voir jouer? Sur les derniers purs et durs du Bruins, j’essaie de répondre à ces questions. #NHLBRUINS #BOSTONBRUINSNEWS #BOSTONBRUINS # NHLDRAFT2025 SOURCE DOM – https://dom.hockey/2025/06/27/getting-to-know-bruins-First-Round-pick-james-Hagens/ Rejoignez cette chaîne pour accéder aux perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ucbf9nnqezwuoo-th4gvszfnq/join

What Did you think of the Pick?
The only reason we were talking Brady, mcqueen, martone is because
👉we thought Hagens was out of reach! ✨
Wasn't part of our conversation.
Keep dreamin!
Ain't going to happen.
Don't even go there!
I was going for martone at that point, BPA.
But then a little birdie told me otherwise
When Philly took Martone, and I saw Hagens was still on the board?
My dogs were dancing!
Yee haw!
I don't give a fig about the draft,
But this felt great!
BC hockey highlights are worth watching again!
Thanks.
Great pick I would love him to crack the lineup after camp ….
Yay!
Can't believe this kid fell that low. Unbelievable disrespect. If Hagens played in the CHL (Children's Hockey League), then he'd have a bazillion points, too. Boston lucked out, big time.
I'm extremely happy with drafting Hagens. I was watching the draft and expecting him to go 3 or 4. When he was still there at 5 I thought for sure Nashville would take him. When Nashville took Martin I was like "You guys are nuts". Then I crossed my fingers hoping Philadelphia didn't take him. I don't think I heard Sandler say anything after "Boston College ".
I still really can't believe he dropped to 7th. A year ago at this time he was projected as the #1. Yes he didn't set the NCAA on fire this year but he definitely looked like he belonged on that top line. I think a little of his production had to do with being a freshman playing with 2 very talented upper classmen. I think Hagens deferred too much to them which is kind of natural. I think at BC this year his production will greatly increase because now he's got to drive that top line.
I have to admit that before the draft his size did worry me a bit until someone pointed out to me that he's the same size as Crosby. So then I started thinking about Jack Hughes and Brayden Point and really his size became a non issue for me.
I agree he should do at least one more season at BC. It all depends on him and how he develops if we see him by next year.
One last thing. I noticed how he said he spent a lot of time in Boston and that's where he wanted to be. That's why he went to BC. So I really don't think we'll see this kid hold out to try to go to the Islanders. He genuinely looked extremely happy and excited to play for the Bruins.
I'll take a 5'11" speed and skill guy over the usuall B's Big Bad SLOW guys. He's someone I really thought would go top 5.
I put some stock in Numbers at College level, HOWEVER, This kid has some skills and THAT is something the B's haven't been picking lately. Nothing wrong with another year in school and see him playing with Letourno. I doubt it's needed BUT they can ALWAYS call him up IF IF IF the B's need it for Playoffs. Give him some time to incubate, and develop! He'll need it, and then, let's see.
Bruins putting a lot of their eggs in Boston Colleges player development basket – and I don’t hate it!
Aggressive, relentless, in your face pressure is today's game. Hagens fits the mold.
I loved the hagens pick and the last pick yemanylov.
I know hockey changed to skill over fist.. but… i think watching all the playoffs, without fists and only skill its pretty hard to win.. and like you said, bruins had size but not skill.. mix of both is a big thing, maybe im wrong
Just unbelievable. I like this kid. I think he has has toughness. I think Bs should give this kid every opportunity to play on Causeway Street this fall. We need his skill set. Bedard got his ass kicked when he joined the Blackhwks and he had no one to protect him but Hagen will have Zadarov and McAvoy to dole out punishment if opposing teams try to go after Hagen. I would play Hagen with Castelic who is tough and could give Hagen additional protection. I like Hagen, Castelic and either Lysell or Kushnutdinov as a young guns line!
100 percent agree, So I should win your dad's jersey…lol
Hagens 18 years old should play with BC this coming year. He’s rated top six center so I’m happy they added offense I don’t think 5’11” 185 LBS small, not large but he should bulk up and toughen up in a couple years. Thanks Court!
hockey has changed smaller players have lost favor that why hagens dropped
I heard afterwards that the Isles wanted to swap their 16 & 17 first rounders for the Bruins 7th overall, thank God they didn't,Whew😅🎉.
The right pick at 7th!!
have you seen the rumor that the panthers want to trade for pastrnak.? where does this garbage come from?
Let’s go Bruins, elbows up and kick ass!!
Hopefully he lives up to hype.. I do believe Hagens will be good, but sometimes the NCAA top tiers get “overvalued” and you pay more for them. Saying that yeah he should stay in BC for the year and develop… there is no rush to throw him on a third or fourth line role so may as well wait for him to be ready for 1 or 2… starting to think Lysell will never pan out. But Hagen being a top 7 pick should be a “lock” for a top 2 center within a year.
