There has been a major development in the Boston Bruins potentially trading their 7th overall draft pick.
After being one of the worst teams in the league, the Boston Bruins earned themselves the 7th overall draft pick at the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
Multiple reports, including one from insider Jimmy Murphy has suggested that the Bruins are exploring their options with the 7th overall pick.
Blockbuster trade incoming with the 7th overall pick?
It was reported that if the Boston Bruins were to trade their 7th overall pick, it would be to either get into the top five of the draft, or it would be packaged to help the Bruins current roster out.
Over the next three years, the Bruins have five different first-round picks, and that gives Sweeney a chance to get creative when trying to bolster his team this off-season.
Now the Bruins have to decide whether they want to get players to help them right now, or players for the future.
James Wilson of NHLtraderumors had this to say:
«Director of Amateur Scouting Ryan Nadeau acknowledged the team is «ready for anything,» emphasizing the need for balance between future growth and current competitiveness.
Boston's prospect system currently ranks near the bottom of the NHL, but the front office also wants to return to playoff contention as soon as next season.
Sweeney hinted that unless the Bruins can move into the top five, where there's a consensus drop-off in elite talent, they're more likely to flip the pick for NHL-ready players.
That approach would allow them to keep building through their multiple second-rounders and future firsts.»

It's unclear whether or not the Bruins are going to trade this pick, or use it, but all options are on the table right now.
