The Maples Leafs might be one of the Bruins’ Original Six rivals, but Boston fans will be rooting for Toronto next week.
After trading Phil Kessel to the Leafs for a package that included Toronto’s 2010 first-round pick, the B’s watched their foe plummet toward the bottom of NHL. Now that the Leafs are locked into having the second-worst record in the league, the Bruins are guaranteed a top-three pick in this year’s draft. Some fortunate luck in the draft lottery, however, could net the Bruins their pick of the litter, a crop that includes talented forwards Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall.
The NHL draft lottery is Tuesday, April 13, at 8 p.m. and will air on both TSN and Versus. After the broadcast, NESN will break down the lottery and everything Bruins, as Cam Neely joins Kathryn Tappen in studio.
