## Resource

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice with high stakes and tough decisions as they kick off training camp, aiming to build on last year’s playoff run. With a packed 49-player roster and just four preseason games to trim down to 23, the team faces pressure to develop young stars like James Hagens while managing a crowded defense corps — including ten eligible defensemen for waivers. Coaching changes are underway, especially on defense and penalty kill, as the staff seeks to reduce reliance on their goalie. And looming over all is the contract situation with Pavel Zacha, who’s seeking a big payday and could be traded if no deal emerges — forcing the Bruins to balance immediate needs with long-term strategy.
