The Boston Bruins struck gold in the 2015 draft
In 2015, Don Sweeney of the Boston Bruins showcased his exceptional drafting skills by securing three consecutive first-round picks, bolstering the team's offense and defense. Some of these picks have already proven to be valuable assets.
The 2015 draft was significant for Sweeney, as he acquired 10 picks, the most by any team since the transition to seven rounds.
Notably, defenseman Brandon Carlo was a standout selection in the second round.
Jakub Zboril, the 13th overall pick, faced slower development but eventually earned a permanent spot in the Boston lineup. Injuries hindered his progress, and he struggled to solidify his place on the team.
Jake DeBrusk, picked 14th overall, made an immediate impact, excelling in both regular and postseason play. Although his performance dipped, he rebounded after being placed on the first line alongside Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.
Zach Senyshyn, the 15th overall pick, failed to meet expectations and requested a trade. His limited playing time yielded modest results.
Brandon Carlo, selected 37th overall, emerged as a hidden gem, forming a formidable defensive partnership and becoming a crucial asset for the Bruins.
Sweeney's other draft picks had mixed success and involvement in trades or minor leagues.
Overall, Sweeney's 2015 draft showcased his talent, with some picks already paying dividends and others facing challenges.
