Marco Sturm  9-8-78

No doubt one of the better players coming back from the Boston Bruins trading Joe Thornton to the San Jose Sharks. The 6′-0″ 196-pound winger hailing from West Germany had his best years in my opinion while playing in a Bruins jersey. Before the infamous trade, Sturm started his career in the … Keep Reading

Over the summer there have been ‘rumblings’ that the Boston Bruins were one of the squads in direct pursuit of disgruntled Colorado Avalanche star forward, Matt Duchene.

By: Spencer Fascetta                        Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

Last week, I started my 2017-18 Bruins’ prospect pyramid project (say that 5 times fast…) with a resounding bang. You can find Part 1 here.

For Tier 2, I looked at players who don’t project as the elite game-breaker that McAvoy does, but still have the potential to … Keep Reading
