James Hagens, a Boston College forward and highly regarded player for the 2025 NHL Draft, is experiencing a dip in his draft ranking. While still listed as a top prospect overall, variances in analysis see him dropping as low as No. 8, signaling a potential opportunity for the Bruins, who hold the No. 7 pick. Hagens cites the challenge of collegiate hockey against older players as a formative experience, expressing optimism with his 37 points in a challenging season and a fondness for Boston.
College - it's a different level of hockey. It's harder. It's not junior hockey. It's tough to score every given night.
I thought I had a great season. You're playing against guys that are 25, 24 years old every night. It's tough. It’s hard hockey.
