The Boston Bruins made seven selections in the 2026 NHL Draft. They went goalie first, before rattling off three forwards in a row. It wasn't until the 157th pick that they finally drafted a defenseman. In the sixth round, they went back between the creases, selecting a second goaltender.

But in the seventh round, with the 216th overall pick and the team's seventh and final selection, the Bruins selected defenseman Cullen McCrate from the Fargo Force. 

McCrate is a 19-year-old blue liner who spent the 2025-26 season playing with the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He played 61 games with the Force, recording 10 goals and 20 assists. It was the second season he spent in Fargo, as he tallied 34 appearances the season prior. 

He is listed at just a touch under 6-foot-2 and right at 200 pounds. 

McCrate is a native of Adrian, Michigan, and has already committed to play at Michigan State University next season. 

The right-handed shot is the only American the Bruins drafted all weekend, and only the second non-European in the class. 

It is unclear whether or not the seventh-round pick will be at Boston's Development Camp next week, but general manager Don Sweeney said a "vast majority" of the 2026 draft class will be.

Lions CB Terrion Arnold could lose millions even if he’s acquitted of charges

· Yahoo Sports

The NFL world was stunned when Detroit Lions star Terrion Arnold was arrested, and his mug shot quickly began circulating online. Authorities arrested Arnold earlier this week in connection with a February incident. He faces up to eight felony charges and could receive a life sentence if convicted. However, even if Arnold is acquitted of all charges, the financial consequences could still be significant.

According to a recent report, if Arnold is denied bond, he would not only lose his freedom indefinitely but also risk forfeiting the remainder of his contract. He has completed two seasons of his four-year rookie deal.

A costly case

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk outlined the financial implications. The situation presents a costly dilemma that would require the Lions to exercise considerable patience if they choose to handle it this way.

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold breaks a pass intended for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs during the first half at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025.

“The slotted first-round contract he signed in 2024 has a total value of $13.343 million. He’s due to make $2.098 million in 2026 and $2.75 million in 2027,” Florio began by outlining the details of Arnold’s contract.

“[Arnold] also received a signing bonus of $7.251 million. The Lions could recover half of that amount ($3.6255 million), if he’s not available for the next two seasons. If he misses all of 2026, he’d owe $1.812 million.”

The catch is that the Lions would have to avoid what many would consider the most likely course of action: voiding Arnold’s remaining guarantees and releasing him. Instead, they would need to keep him on the roster in some capacity.

Lions resolution?

The most likely scenario would be placing Arnold on the Reserve/Commissioner Exemption List. The Lions would then have to wait until the legal process concludes with either an acquittal or a conviction. They would not be able to recover any money until the case is resolved.

Arnold has a pivotal hearing scheduled for Monday. If the court orders him to remain in custody until trial, he could lose both his freedom and millions of dollars.

The consequences of Arnold’s alleged actions could prove costly for everyone involved.
