Last night, the Boston Bruins Selected 6'7 Centre, Dean Letourneau 25th overall and this is everything you need to know about the prospect.
The pick is in! Dean Letourneau is now a 1st Round pick of the @NHLBruins
Letourneau stands at a whopping 6'7, 214 lbs. and is the first player to be drafted out of high school since Mark Jankowski was selected in 2012 by the Calgary Flames.
Dean Letourneau was selected 25th overall by the @NHLBruins . He played for St. Andrew's College last year where he recorded a league-high 61-66—127 (56 GP). #NHLStats: https://media.nhl.com/public/live-updates?date=2024-06-28
He played High School hockey at St. Andrew's College where he put up video game like number scoring 61 G and 66 A for 127 points in just 56 games.
All scouts and insiders say his talent is through the roof, he is a natural goal scorer and power forward that skates like the wind but will need quite a bit of time to develop. The word that keeps going around and around is RAW, and is going to be a project. If developed properly, he is touted as a Tage Thompson comparable.
At 25 the Boston Bruins select:
Dean Letourneau 6'7» 214 Pounds Right Shot
2023-2024 St Andrews U18AAA season:
56 Games Played 61 Goals 66 Assists 127 Points

The Bruins will have to patient with him, but if he pans out, he is going to be a bonified superstar in the Bruins Black and Gold for years to come.
