Does aspirot come back with him as they played so well together last season?
Who drops out? Lefties Lohrei and Zadorov are playing better than Hampus but he also has an A so obviously highly rated.
Clifton played so well especially on the PP so Borgan or Brunet to make way?
Good problem to have
Poitras and Hagens both look great. Obviously a lot to work on but I think they both have played well. We actually have some offence now and look dangerous on the rush and can break the puck out (a little) better.

Tuukka and Blades at Teddy Swims’ concert at TD Garden!! They both just walked out on stage and then Tuukka starts shooting hot dogs into the crowd from a hot dog shaped cannon. Everyone at the end was screaming TUUUUUUUKKKAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Who’s doing the best, most honest analysis of the B’s? I used to love morning Bru but I feel like the guys there never actually get anywhere close to critical of the players (most likely since their main income comes from NESN). So hit me with what you’ve got.

BOSTON — David Pastrňák, by Natural Stat Trick’s count, was expected to score 0.16 goals on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth. In actuality, the Boston Bruins captain scored twice, both on the power play, in his team’s 6-1 win.
It speaks to Pastrňák’s natural scoring talent, which has put him in a tie with Brad Marchand for fourth place in franchise history (422 goals). The best of the best know how to find the back of the net, even when chance quality and quantity are against them.
Pastrňák’s knack of net-finding, then, makes it even more mysterious that he went the first four games of 2026-27 without scoring once. All of it was weighing on him: his lack of goals, the team’s 2-2-0 start, the pressure of the first-year captaincy.
“He was not happy,” coach Marco Sturm said. “He showed it today as soon as the one went in. After that, all of a sudden he was loose and happy. He had that flow, that rhythm in his game. That’s just how the brain works sometimes, especially in sports and in hockey. You only need one, just like on the power play. You get one goal and all of a sudden you feel it.
“I’m happy for him. He’s excited. He’s very honored. But there’s also a little bit of pressure to have that ‘C’ on your jersey. It’s a little different. I’m glad that’s over.”
In the first period, after Lawson Crouse was called for interference, Pastrňák took a seam pass from Frédéric Brunet at the right circle. Pastrňák promptly loaded up his stick for a snap shot. By using MacKenzie Weegar as a screen, the right wing whistled the puck past Sebastian Cossa for his first goal. It broke the Bruins’ 0-for-10 start on the power play.

Bettman: Speaking with the media, Bettman acknowledged that the league is "keeping an eye on" the way no-trade clauses are being used and suggested that the NHL could eventually look at changing the rules surrounding them. Bettman explained that no-trade protection was originally designed largely as a benefit for players who committed to long-term contracts with a particular organization, sometimes accepting less money in exchange for that security.
But the league is now watching to see whether that protection is evolving into something different. "As I look at what's happening right now, I don't think it's a good thing. The no-trade clause was originally put in place... to make sure that you would be in the place you wanted to be and where you were signing up to be," Bettman told Sportsnet this morning. "
This notion now where you can select where you want to go to and you can demand a trade, that was never the original intention. So, if this becomes a problem it's something that we're going to have to discuss with the NHL Players' Association. It's something we're going to keep an eye on, but I think we've gotten past the way no-trade clauses were originally intended."
