## Resource

🎙️Trade Deadline Week is here, and the Eastern Conference is tighter than ever. In this special episode of Bruins Tape to Tape, we welcome Ollie Shane, author of Not Another Newsletter, to break down what’s happening beyond Boston, specifically inside the Philadelphia Flyers’ rebuild. We dig into the Flyers’ prospect pipeline, the ongoing goaltending carousel, Trevor Zegras’ resurgence, Matvei Michkov’s development under Rick Tocchet, and what it all means for the Bruins’ playoff race. With the wild card picture shifting nightly, every move — and every non-move — matters. We revisit Bruins–Flyers rivalry history, debate “rebuild vs. retool,” and look ahead to how trade deadline decisions could reshape the East. If you’re a Bruins fan trying to understand the bigger conference picture, this is your trade deadline deep dive.
