Jakub Lauko Drafted 77th Overall by Boston Bruins in the 2018 NHL Draft

Lauko was drafted in the third round of the 2018 NHL Draft by the Bruins with the 77th pick as an 18-year-old center. The 6-foot, 200-pound forward was the 24th center chosen in the draft. The scout on Lauko coming into the draft was that he brings a likable work ethic and attitude to the ice. His outstanding acceleration and straight-line speed make him a real threat in the rush. On September 18, 2018, the Bruins signed Lauko to a three-year entry-level deal worth $2.8 million with a salary cap hit of $764,147 per season. Lauko played 22 games for the Bruins’ American Hockey League affiliate Providence Bruins in 2019-20 and scored five goals with four assists.
