Marco Sturm Opens Up On Bruins Potentially Adding James Hagens The Boston Bruins may soon add James Hagens to their roster after the conclusion of his college season at Boston College. Hagens was selected seventh overall in the 2025 NHL Draft and returned to Boston College for the year. With his collegiate season now over, there were rumors he could sign with the Bruins, but no official moves have been made yet. Bruins head coach Marco Sturm addressed the possibility of Hagens joining the team during a post-practice interview. When asked about the potential addition, Sturm expressed openness to the idea. “It’s always a challenge for everyone,” he said. “The good thing is with me, over the past, especially in Ontario, I always had college kids coming in. Maybe not (the skill of) Hagens, but they were college kids at the end of the day, they hadn’t played against men. It’s always a challenge, but I’m prepared if it happens.” Hagens, who played for Boston College this past season, finished with 23 goals and 24 assists for 47 points in 34 games. His performance earned him a spot among the top 10 candidates for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, an honor given to the nation’s best college hockey player. If signed, Hagens could contribute as a top-six forward, bringing speed and skill to the Bruins’ lineup. Despite Sturm’s openness, no formal agreement has been reached. The Bruins are set to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in a home game on Tuesday, marking their next scheduled contest.
