The Boston Bruins' first pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft came in the second round at 54th overall.
With the pick Don Sweeney and the Bruins selected:
Matthew Poitras' scouting report as per DobberProspects:
"Hard-working two-way forward with the skill to capitalize on opposing mistakes. Already displays a lot of pro-level habits and projects as a reliable NHL forward with secondary scoring ability."
His NHL projection and comparison as per 'Last Word on Sports':
"Poitras is a versatile player. The Storm used him at both centre and on the wing, as well as playing him in all situations. Due to his lack of speed, his pro future is likely on the wing. With his smarts, defensive awareness, and willingness to leave it all on the ice, Poitras should be a coach's favourite no matter where he goes. He is likely to spend a couple more years in the OHL and then some time in the AHL before he is ready to make an NHL impact. If he can develop to his full potential, he could be a middle-six winger, capable of playing in all situations. Poitras' game is reminiscent of Ryan Callahan. This is a stylistic comparison only though and not one based on skill and ability."
