After earning All-Rookie status in Hockey East as a freshman at Boston College, the Bruins picked Hagens with the No. 7 overall pick in Friday’s NHL Draft. Barring an injury, he’s likely to spend at most one more year in Chestnut Hill, but if he and the Bruins, both agreed he was ready, he could turn pro now.

There were so many rumors about the Islanders trading up to draft James Hagens, a Hauppauge, N.Y, native, that fans at their Long Island draft party actually booed when Adam Sandler revealed the pick wearing his Happy Gilmore Bruins jersey.
