The Boston Bruins announced on Tuesday that they have officially released three of their development prospects, turning the players into unrestricted free agents and ending their short‑term contracts with the organization.
Svedebäck eyes NHL chance
Philip Svedebäck, who completed four seasons at Providence College, finishes with a 54‑38‑17 record between the pipes. A senior‑year injury stripped him of the starting role, paving the way for Jack Parsons to take over, but the setback has only sharpened his resolve to catch the eye of NHL clubs north of the border.
Jellvik heads to Sweden
Oskar Jellvik, a fifth‑round selection in the 2021 draft, spent two seasons at Harvard before signing with Rögle BK in Sweden. He capped his college career with 75 points in 107 games, including a breakout sophomore campaign that yielded 42 points, and now hopes the move will keep his development on an upward trajectory.
Langenbrunner hangs up his skates
Mason Langenbrunner, drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 draft, announced his retirement after four years at Harvard, where he served as senior captain. His collegiate résumé reads 26 points (9‑17‑26) and a minus‑5 rating across 130 appearances, and he is now co‑founding Skye, a performance‑protein bar aimed at athletes.
The departures mark the end of a chapter for a Bruins roster that has leaned heavily on college talent in recent years. As the organization reshapes its pipeline, the three former prospects will each chart distinct courses, from North American professional tryouts to a European league and a entrepreneurial venture.
