- A long read: Former Bruin Hal Gill was among the players that changed their defensive games from "clutch and grab" to more positional as the NHL rules changed.

The Bruins hope Torey Krug and Reilly Smith do attend camp rather than holding out. Several NHL enforcers are still without contracts, demonstrating a shift from fighting in the league.
