"Hagens took another step forward in 2025-26, recording 47 points (23 goals, 24 assists) over 34 games while helping BC win its first Beanpot title since 2016."
"Keeping him up in the NHL ranks for the rest of the regular season opens the door for Boston burning the first year of his entry-level deal right out of the gate."
"The Bruins might prefer putting Hagens on a similar path as the one that Charlie McAvoy went on when he made the jump from Boston University to the pro ranks in 2017."
James Hagens, a blue-chip prospect for the Boston Bruins, has completed his sophomore season at Boston College. He recorded 47 points in 34 games and is a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. Hagens has not yet signed a pro deal, and while he could return to college, he has little left to prove. The timing of his entry-level contract with the Bruins is uncertain, as it could impact his career trajectory and potential pay raise in the future.
