You wouldn't believe who the Bruins were possibly targeting at the 2012 NHL Entry draft!

Matt Porter of the Boston Globe made an interesting find from a Calgary newspaper back in 2012, which had the team picking a well-known ''pest'' from an Eastern Conference foe.

The ''Mock Draft'' was in the Calgary Herald, which had the Bruins picking none other than Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals. The Bruins held the 24th overall pick that year, and Wilson was selected eight picks ahead by the Capitals at 16th overall.

The Bruins would end up drafting goaltender Malcolm Subban, who went on to play just two games for the team. He's now with the Buffalo Sabres organization.

Although he goes over the edge sometimes, Wilson also has 115 goals, 158 assists and 272 points in 647 NHL games.

Given his history, especially the questionable hits he's thrown against Boston players, how would you feel about Tom Wilson being in a Bruins jersey?
