Great information, great Pod.
Ullmark and Coyle for Nugent-Hopkins and a draft pick. That actually helps both teams.
If Poitras is sent down after his 9th game expect a trade soon after.
I like Geekie so far. And why not take a shot putting him and Poitras with Marchand.
Might as well experiment in the first few games to see where the best chemistry and production comes from.
What a Great add signing JVR, he's up their with Joe Pavelski when it comes to net front play, Huge boost to the power play. Thanks Conner.
This is my first year following hockey as a bruins fan. As a pats fan yes even now lol I listen to a lot of NE sports media and started following the Bruins this year and am completely new to hockey. I’m excited to watch and learn.
The other Top 6 winger should have been a gentleman currently playing in Toronto who last name ends in Tuzzi
No on The Nuge
