To put it lightly, the Bruins are a total mess as they head into the off-season. GM Don Sweeney doesn’t have a new contract. Head Coach Bruce Cassidy was just fired. Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, and Matt Grzelcyk all had surgeries that will have them miss the start of next season. Mike Reilly had an ankle

In less than one week, when the clock strikes 3 pm ET on Monday, March 22, I will be looking under my metaphorical Christmas tree, hoping to see that Don Sweeney pulled off trade deadline magic and filled all of the Bruins roster needs. For the past month, the list of

The most important off-season of Bruins general manager, Don Sweeney’s career, is off to the races in what promises to be an exciting ride. The win-now Bruins are in a firm position to sink their teeth into the free-agent class to fill the holes that have been exposed this past season. With around $25 million in

The Bruins experienced a true roller-coaster of a season in the shortened 2020-21 NHL regular season, but one of the team’s biggest weaknesses all season long and especially in the playoffs, was their strength on defense. Right-handed defenseman Charlie McAvoy emerged as the consistent leader for the Bruins defense corps, with others like Matt Grzelcyk and

There are no questions about what just happened in the ’20-’21 season for the Bruins. Boston organizationally decided that moving on from Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara was a worthwhile gamble into seeing how the youth on the backend could produce and play impactful minutes.
To be fair, before we start picking away at what needs to be

The outcome of the 2020-21 Bruins season could be described as bleak at best as the team underperformed against a defensively sound New York Islanders squad that’s made their second straight Eastern Conference Finals appearance. It would be unfair to point the blame to any one part of the team for their series loss,

Taylor Hall is a Boston Bruin. There is a good chance that if you have taken a trip on Bruins Twitter over the past month that you have seen those words and well, they’re correct. The 2018 Hart Memorial Trophy winner was brought into Boston the night before the NHL Trade Deadline as Boston

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney is fast approaching the place in Bruins fan’s hearts that only Tuukka Rask resides in right now. You either love him, or you hate him. Regardless of what side of the aisle you fall on, one of the things all Bruins fans can agree on, Sweeney excels at re-signing Restricted

The Boston Bruins recently let Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara walk during free agency with the front office’s message explaining their strategy of allowing the young prospects to play. Other than the additional depth signings, the Bruins also made one “big” signing, which was for forward Craig Smith (3 years/$3.1M AAV). This left many Bruins
