Just today, a major announcement was made involving one of the Boston Bruins top prospects, and he has received a special honour from the NHL.
The past two years, The Athletic has ranked the Boston Bruins prospect pool as the worst in the league.
It's a different story this year, as they were ranked the 20th overall prospect pool by The Athletic this year.
The Boston Bruins have not been known to have a top prospect pool, but it after recently drafting some solid prospects, and making trades during the NHL trade deadline, things have changed for them.
Defensively, the Boston Bruins do not have a lot of high ranked prospects, and the Boston Bruins are going to feel this during the upcoming season if the Bruins are hit with any injuries on defense.
However, there is one defensive prospect that is starting to make a name for himself, and he was named to participate in an upcoming event that is going to take place next week.

Along with him, many other NHL prospects around the league will also take place in this event that is set to be hosted on September 3rd in Virginia.
