  • Look forward to seeing Ryan Donato and Anders Bjork among the young Bruins of interest participating in the pre-season Prospects Challenge. Mass Live
  • The Sabres will host the Bruins, Devils, and Penguins teams in the tournament. Details here. Bruins NHL
  • As much as we like what we’ve seen from Donato, does he face disappearing into a pool of promising younger Bruins? The Hockey Writers

  • We’re #27! Wait, what? The Athletic doesn’t seem to think much of the Bruins prospect pool. WEEI
  • Assessing the Atlantic Division in facing the current Stanley Cup champs, the Bruins have two top centers and a first-pairing defenseman all facing relentless Father Time, but there is hope in one young Czech and his sparky linemate, who plays bigger than his size. For a team comprised of the rather young and the realtively old, recent playoff experience will work in their favor. (Hard paywall) The Athletic
