The Boston Bruins only had six picks from rounds two to seven in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
One of those picks was Dans Locmelis in the fourth round (119th overall) who was playing in the SHL in Sweden.
Locmelis is from Latvia but it appears that he wants to come play in North America as soon as possible.
As per Mark Driver of NHL.com, the centre prospect has his eyes set on the NCAA:
''Rumor in the rinks is Bruins 4th rounder Dans Locmelis of Latvia committed to Northern Michigan.
Couple of Hockey East heavyweights and Big 10 schools hoping he changes his mind.''
There were earlier reports that he had interest in the Youngstown Phantoms of the USHL as well.
