Boston Bruins forward James Hagens undergoes offseason transformation: "He looks completely different"

For the longest time during last season, Hagens was projected to be the first overall pick in the NHL draft.

Hagens ended up dropping down to 7th overall, where the Boston Bruins ended up picking him, and this was mainly due to him being undersized.

Throughout the league, there was some concerns between the scouts that his body was not suited for the NHL.

Because of this, Hagens made it a big priority of his to prove the scouts wrong and underwent a huge transformation this off-season.

Entering training camp, it was clear that Hagens had made a big change this off-season, and he currently weights 15-pounds heavier then he did last season.

There already is a lot of hype around Hagens returning back to BC hockey for another year, and if fans start seeing Hagens look like a man amongst boys in college hockey, the hype will only get bigger.

Hagens' motivation to pack on some pounds wasn't just to be a better player for the Eagles this year.

Hagens felt that he could have signed his entry level deal with the Boston Bruins this year, but opted to go back to college to develop some more.

But if that was his motivation to bulk up this summer, the future of his career is going to be a bright one.

There is some speculation that Hagens could sign once his college season is over, and this just furthers the idea.
