Bruins’ James Hagens: NCAA Exit Imminent, But NHL Debut Still Possible This Season
James Hagens has signed an Amateur Tryout Agreement with the Boston Bruins, likely ending his time at Boston College. While there are no current plans for him to play in Boston this season, a struggling powerplay and a potential playoff run could open the door for an NHL debut.
The Bruins are weighing the strategic implications of when to utilize a year of Hagens’ contract, potentially delaying his NHL entry to benefit future negotiations.
