Key Bruins Prospects to Watch

This tournament will prominently feature several Bruins prospects, primarily from Boston College. Out of the eight players participating, six are Eagles, providing a strong showcase for the team’s future. Here are the top prospects to keep an eye on:

James Hagens

As the Bruins’ first-round pick in 2025 (No. 7 overall), Hagens has become a key player for Boston College. With 25 points in 21 games, he possesses a shoot-first approach that could significantly influence the game’s outcome in a tournament setting.

Dean Letourneau

Letourneau, selected as the Bruins’ first-round pick in 2024 (No. 25 overall), has tallied 25 points in 23 games. His ability to convert on rebounds and tips makes him a player to watch closely during the Beanpot.

Will Moore

This Bruins second-round pick from 2025 (No. 51 overall) has amassed nine points in 23 games. His capability to elevate his game under pressure will be crucial as he looks to make an impact this tournament.

Andre Gasseau

Gasseau, a seventh-round pick from 2021 (No. 213 overall), brings experience and composure. With 11 points in 10 games, he has the tools to thrive in the high-stakes environment of the Beanpot.

Oskar Jellvik

Drafted in 2021 (fifth round, No. 149 overall), Jellvik has struggled early in the season with one point in three games. However, he has the potential to surprise and change that narrative with a standout performance.

Kristian Kostadinski

The towering defenseman at 6-6, 235 pounds, Kostadinski was picked in the seventh round of 2023 (No. 220 overall). His development in managing the smaller ice dynamics will be something to watch.

Jonathan Morello

A lone Bruins prospect on the Boston University roster, Morello has recorded 11 points in 26 games. His ability to perform under pressure and score will be evaluated closely during the matches.

Mason Langenbrunner

This Harvard defenseman, drafted by Boston in 2020 (fifth round, No. 151 overall), has notched nine points in 20 games. His performance in tight situations will be critical for fan evaluations.
