Leading up to the NHL trade deadline, there was a lot of questions surrounding what the Boston Bruins were going to do.

Don Sweeney stated that he was willing to move on from the 7th overall pick, in exchange for a player that would make an immediate impact on their roster.
The New York Islanders were a team heavily linked to the 7th overall pick, but in the end, Don Sweeney ended up not trading it.
Instead, he used it to draft James Hagens, who was the projected 1st overall pick for a good majority of the year.
Since being drafted, there have been questions on whether or not he will make the Boston Bruins or return back to BC, but it may have just been confirmed.

Will James Hagens head back to BC, or will he join the Boston Bruins?

There has been some speculation that James Hagens would be best off returning back to BC for a year, and it seems like that is going to happen.
When speaking with NHL.com recently, Hagens admitted that he fell short of winning a Beanpot, and stated that he wants to go back and win it this year:
"I want to be able to win a Beanpot, be able to win a national championship," he said. "Everyone has their roles, but our team goal is winning. That's what we want to do. We fell short last year, but it's hopefully going to happen this year."

Boston Bruins insider Scott McLaughlin also stated that it looks like he will be heading back to BC for a year.
Hagens and Greg Brown are both talking like Hagens is definitely going back to BC. That lines up with everything I've heard in recent weeks.
