New details were recently revealed, and the Boston Bruins nearly completed a blockbuster trade with the Calgary Flames at the NHL draft.
During the NHL Draft there were a lot of rumors involving the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders.

Instead, the Bruins kept their pick and ended up drafting James Hagens 7th overall, who is expected to be a game changer for the Bruins in the future.
Now, some new details have revealed that the Boston Bruins nearly made another trade at the draft.
