## Resource

Matthew Poitras, the Bruins’ final unsigned restricted free agent, has signed a one-year league-minimum deal and is now racing to make the opening night roster. Despite showing promise with 13 goals and 44 points in the AHL last season, he struggled to crack the NHL lineup, playing just three games. With stiff competition from rising centers like Fraser Minten and James Hagens, plus proven depth players Mikey Eyssimont and Alex Steeves, Poitras’ path is narrow. The shortened preseason and tight 12-day deadline mean he’ll likely either be traded or sent down via waivers — unless he outperforms two key forwards to earn a spot. If he makes it, it could come at the cost of Eyssimont or Steeves, while Hagens might start the year in Providence.
