Boston Bruins‘ center Sean Kuraly(65) will be a rookie heading into the 2016/2017 season.
Traded from draft team San Jose Sharks (2011 5th round, #133 overall) last year, he signed a entry level deal through 2018 after his fourth campaign at Miami University (Ohio), where he was captain as a senior and won the 2015 NCAA/NCHC Championship as a junior, assistant captain.
His pair of years in the USHL with Indiana Ice definitely gets the nod for this player’s early development.
In his 2nd season he scored 32 goals in 38 assists in 54 games putting him at 5th overall league scoring and fourth in goals and assists, which definitely had an affect heading into the next step, college hockey.
At the recently concluded 2016 Development Camp, on the Friday he was maybe the best, most well-rounded player out there that definitely looked like he fit right in.
It was his 2nd visit to this camp and first before turning pro.
The 23-year already looks to be set for the start of the official training camp and you can see it in his play that he’s set to earn a spot on the big league roster right out of the gate.
