  • Here’s a quick summary of where the Bruins stand at this point- who’s in, who’s out, and who will dip his toes into free agency. HockeyBuzz
  • Remember how we all watched white-knucked as Don Sweeney took over and made his first moves? How do you like him NOW? Bonus- expect no further contract buyouts. 98.5 the Sports Hub
  • All options are on the table for the Bruins’ first line. Options are GOOD. (with video) NESN
