Boston College forward James Hagens is expected to join the Bruins in spring, potentially giving them a boost for the team's final regular-season game against UConn. Hagens' sophomore season at BC ended in a crushing loss, ending with 23 goals and 47 total points over 34 games. The 19-year-old forward's potential impact on the team is evident due to his speed, edge work, and stability ability. Despite the high prices in a seller's market, the Bruins opted not to risk giving in immediate reinforcements due to Boston's strong playoff position. Despite this, Hagens remains projected as a future top-six stalwart in Boston's lineup.
