The Skate Pod Ep 198: New England Hockey Journal and NHL.com contributor Mark Divver joins us to take a deeper look into the Bruins’ prospect pool, who could be ready for a full-time role in Boston and what has happened to the development of Fabian Lysell. Could the Bruins run a Swayman-Bussi goalie duo next season? Are Bruins’ center prospects Georgii Merkulov, Marc McLaughlin or Johnny Beecher ready to take a full-time bottom-six role in Boston? What is troubling about the Bruins’ prospect pool on defense outside of Mason Lohrei. Plus, developments on Hartford trying to bring back the Whalers, new details on why the Bruins targeted Mitchell Miller and why Mark thinks the Bruins’ coaching staff is about to see a shake up.
