Getting to Know Boston Bruins Frederic Brunet
For me, one of the more interesting picks the Bruins made came in the 132nd spot as they selected defenceman Frederic Brunet of the Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Bruins second of four picks from the Canadian Hockey League.

Boston Bruins Prospect Ratings
I’ll begin by saying this is not a ranking – that will come at a later date – but rather a rating on the player’s performance from the 2021-2022 season. The players on this rating are: either drafted or free agent signings of the Bruins; played outside the NHL or AHL; and the Bruins mustContinue reading “Boston Bruins Prospect Ratings”
The Work in Providence Needs to Continue for the Bruins
Back on April 1 I wrote about how General Manager Don Sweeney and Assistant General Manager Evan Gold were making over the Providence Bruins. It was no April Fools Joke as the brain trust added size, speed and skill to a roster that was transitioning for the 2022-2023 season. In are Georgii Merkulov and MarcContinue reading “The Work in Providence Needs to Continue for the Bruins”
