The Bruins have traded back from the 69th pick to select forward Cooper Simpson from the Tri-City Storm. Simpson is noted for his explosive skating ability, diverse puckhandling, and a precision shot that allows him to dominate on the ice. Anticipated to begin his collegiate career at the University of North Dakota for the 2025-26 season, Simpson is seen as a player capable of stepping into a scoring role immediately. His selection is viewed positively, especially considering he could have been drafted earlier than his actual position.
An explosive skater, Simpson blends pace, puckhandling, and separation shooting to overwhelm opposing defenders and goaltenders.
He boasts a diverse deke package, executes plays in both tight and open space, and uses deception masterfully around the crease.
