The Boston Bruins Draft Trevor Kuntar in the Third Round of the 2020 NHL Draft

Trevor Kuntar was selected in the third round with the 89th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft by the Boston Bruins. The scout by Elite Prospects on Kuntar described the forward as a top-ten scorer in the USHL last season, wields a shot so heavy that he can beat goaltenders clean from just about anywhere in the offensive zone.
