## Resource

The Bruins’ young defensemen are heating up, with Dean Letourneau emerging as the NHL-ready standout over Will Zellers, while contract strategy remains cautious—no offer sheets this summer, but key restricted free agents like Minten and Khusnutdinov loom for next year. No-move and no-trade clauses are sticking around despite GM frustration, with risky trade clause reforms being floated. With ten defensemen vying for NHL spots, trades are inevitable, especially for Lohrei and Zboril, even if Lohrei’s exit seems paused. And while Pastrnak’s captaincy isn’t urgent, it’s likely coming soon—history shows the Bruins can win without one, but leadership needs a permanent face.
