Summary
The Bruins’ defense is suddenly crowded with ten NHL-ready blueliners, creating a logjam as young talent pushes for a spot—especially with McAvoy sidelined. Meanwhile, Quinn Hughes’ extension with Minnesota could hit $17M, while the Sabres remain in pursuit of Hellebuyck. Free agency still buzzes with Mantha, Kane, Laine, and familiar Bruins names like van Riemsdyk and Smith still unsigned. And in a surprising twist, Lars Eller—Tkachuk’s former Ottawa teammate—joins the Panthers, calling his new linemate a “perfect fit.” With the offseason winding down, every move counts as teams gear up for the new season.
