This New York native has lit up Boston College in his freshman year, posting 23 goals and 45 points in just 33 games.

Hagins also shown at the World Juniors for Team USA, notching two goals and seven points in five games despite the team's tough run. He's been playing alongside other Bruins prospects like Dean Luterno and Andre Gasso, hoping to drive Boston College deep into the Hockey East, tournament after a strong quarter final win over Maine. Insiders are buzzing that Hagins will sign his entry-level contract soon, skipping the rest of his college eligibility to join the Bruins organization. Right after the NCAA season wraps in about a month, fans and scouts love his speed, scoring touch and

smarts on the ice, seeing him as a perfect fit for the pros. With Boston College possibly wrapping up in a week or so, Hagins could debut in the NHL as early as this weekend, eligible for up to 12 games. The Bruins, clinging to a wild card playoff spot just one point from the edge, need an offensive boost after struggling post-alymbic break. Meanwhile Coach Marco's Thurm has line-up options, may be pairing him with stars like David Pastrenack or building a young third line.
