The Bruins rookie camp is under way and there is a defenseman creating a lot of buzz around Boston, Jackson Edwards.
This is a big surprise since Edwards was a 7th round pick in the 2022 draft but seems to have the right tools to possibly become an NHL defenseman.
The 20 year old D-man has a career high in points last year with 30 for the London Knights but is mostly known for his tough style of playing as a shut down defenseman.
Edward is coming off a strong season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), posting career highs with seven goals, 23 assists, 30 points, and a plus-43 rating. Overall, the 6-foot-2 defender not only took his offense to a new level but was steady defensively. This naturally has made him a more interesting prospect in Boston's system.
While Edwards will likely not make the Bruins this season, there is potential for him down the road if he continues to improve.
