The Boston Bruins won't be very active in the 2023 NHL Draft based on the amount of picks they currently own.
The B's will not take part in the first round on Wednesday, June 28. Boston traded its 2023 first-rounder to the Washington Capitals in February as part of the deal that sent forward Garnet Hathaway and defenseman Dmitry Orlov to Boston. If the Bruins don't trade back into Round 1, they will have made just two first-round picks in the last six drafts from 2018 through 2023.
The Bruins also don't have a second-round pick this year. That selection was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks as part of the Hampus Lindholm trade in 2022. And, finally, the B's are without a 2023 fifth-rounder, which was included in the Capitals trade mentioned above.
