Julien on Pastrnak's future with Bruins: 'He's going to be a game changer'

David Pastrnak certainly made an impression at a young age for the Boston Bruins.

The 18-year-old was drafted 25th overall in the 2014 draft by the Bruins and by the end of the season, he was a regular in the team's lineup.

Head coach Claude Julien credited the youngster's love for the game and upbeat personality for some of his success.

"The one thing I've noticed from him, from training camp to now, is how much he loves being at the rink," Julien said. "To see what he's doing, with experience and time, he's going to figure out this game even more."

Julien played Pastrnak on a line with Milan Lucic and Ryan Spooner and watched as the three gelled, becoming a dangerous line for the Bruins.

"He's going to be even more dangerous. As he gets stronger, his speed and all that stuff, his smarts, he'll obviously come up with the puck a lot more," said the coach of Pastrnak. "He's going to be a game changer. In my mind, he's going to be a threat every time he's on the ice. So I really see a lot of potential in this guy."

The forward potted 10 goals and 17 assists in 46 games.
