Marco Sturm just flipped the script at Bruins camp.
No more vet hierarchies — kids & vets in the same room.
Add in Pastrnak’s tendinitis + way-too-early lines… and it feels like a NEW ERA.

ANOTHER FLAMES REUNION? 🔥🐻

The #NHLBruins already have Lindholm & Zadorov…
Should they chase Rasmus Andersson and Nazem Kadri too?

Reasonable trade speculation on today's Locked On Boston Bruins 👇

Kaprizov just TURNED DOWN an 8-year, $128M extension. 😳

The #NHLBruins? They’ve got Pastrnak locked in at $11.25M AAV through 2031 - a bargain for one of the league’s top scorers.

But what about building the right roster around him.

🚨 “NO GUARANTEES.”
Sweeney set the tone for #NHLBruins camp:
✅ Every spot must be earned
✅ Veterans vs. prospects battle ahead
✅ PTOs still on the table

The Bruins drafted Ken Dryden. They traded him away before he played a game.

Montreal built a dynasty. Boston left Cups on the table.

With Dryden’s passing, it’s a reminder of what happens when you undervalue young talent.

Jeremy Swayman says "Jeremy Swayman is in a great spot" and "a completely different human being" compared to this time last year.

He’s dialed in after a gold medal summer - and not worried about the haters.

On his reset and Tuukka Rask parallels:

🚨Boston Bruins Leadership Reset🚨

No captain for the first time in 20 years.

Fresh start or repeat of last year’s collapse? 🤔

Elias Lindholm called last year with the #NHLBruins “a season I’d rather forget.” Same here, honestly.

Now, healthy and motivated, his REDEMPTION will define Boston’s 2025–26 season.

The #NHLBruins over/under is set at 76.5 points — the same as last year’s worst-in-the-East finish.

Here’s why Boston will SMASH that number ⬆️

If Savoie’s on the table, Boston does it in a heartbeat, but would Edmonton ever consider it?

The Boston Bruins CAN’T go into the season with Joonas Korpisalo as Swayman’s backup.

Buy him out. Bury him. Trade him.
Whatever it takes — he’s gotta go.
