Boston Bruins next Milan Lucic: Jackson Edwards making a name for himself
The Boston Bruins might have found their next Milan Lucic, but in a defenseman.
During the Prospect Challenge in Buffalo, one prospect stood out and has been talked about a lot, Jackson Edwards.
Boston Bruins prospect Jackson Edwards is making a name for himself, and many believe that he will be a fan favourite for the Bruins one day as he plays a really gritty style of play, sorta like Milan Lucic. The only difference is that Lucic was a forward, and Edwards is a defenseman.
The Bruins drafted Edwards in the 7th round of the 2022 NHL Entry Level Draft, and has made a name for himself during this prospect challenge.
Playing with the London Knights last year in the OHL, Edwards would put up a career high in points with 30 and would go on to win the Memorial Cup.
It's not likely that Edwards will make the roster out of camp this year, but there is a good chance if the Bruins deal with injuries, that he gets a call up with how he has played during the prospect challenge.
