Bruins Could Find Value Signing Stastny (The Hockey Writers)

The Boston Bruins are entering the 2022 free agency period in an interesting spot. On the one hand, the team is at the tail-end of their championship window ...

Another question mark heading into next season will be the roles of Erik Haula and Charlie Coyle. The two players served as the Bruins’ No. 2 and No. 3 centers respectively last season, but that would undoubtedly change if at least one of Krejci or Stastny are added to the lineup. If the Bruins find themselves in a spot where they have so many centers capable of playing in a middle-six capacity that one or two of them are forced onto the wing, that means that they will be as versatile a team as it comes next season. While Stastny could be an option for the Bruins at both center and on the wing, his two-way ability, leadership, team-first mentality and special teams prowess make him the perfect fit for just about any team looking to bolster their lineup this offseason. On the other hand, though, the team seems primed to make at least one last push at a Stanley Cup next season with Patrice Bergeron believed to be signing a one-year, incentive-laden deal and rumors of David Krejci’s return being at least a possibility. This bodes well for newly-hired coach Jim Montgomery, but it also begs the question; what type of moves can and will the Bruins end up making to improve their roster from last season to next season. On the one hand, the team is at the tail-end of their championship window and are dealing with a plethora of significant injuries to top-end talent heading into the 2022-23 season.

Boston Bruins: David Krejci reunion is last thing the team needs right ... (Chowder and Champions)

Although it's appealing to many, the Boston Bruins should be focused on the future rather than reliving their glory days by bringing back David Krejci.

For everything he’s given this organization, he deserves that, on top of the fact that he is still an elite player. It’s beyond time to accept the reality that the old group just was never good enough when it mattered, and reliving those days will only bring us more pain in next year’s playoffs. Looking towards it by moving on from Don Sweeney and his terrible drafting ( although that’s another story entirely). Preparing for it by seeing what some of the organization’s young centers can do with consistent playing time, rather than a 36-year-old who plays at a snails pace. Every year with that group was the same story: elite regular seasons only to crumble in the playoffs, unless their goaltender went on a legitimately historic hot streak. Hope that running it back with a group that was far from winning anything last year, with a coaching change as the only real difference, will lead to an actual title run this year. More likely, however, Bruins fans would quickly realize that the AHL-level competition of the Czech league did nothing to prevent the always slow Krejci from falling even further behind today’s rocket fueled NHL.

Snapshots: Trocheck, Kaprizov, Dach (prohockeyrumors.com)

Bruins reportedly interested in Trocheck, Kaprizov undergoes minor procedure, teams reportedly doing research on Kirby Dach trade possibility.

Kaprizov led the Wild with 108 points in 81 games in 2021-22 and figures to be the Wild’s most important player for the foreseeable future. Boston will have to compete with other teams vying for Trocheck’s services, but at the very least they should be in the mix for the established top-six centers that are set to hit the market. While the Boston Bruins will be dealing with injuries to major players for the start of the 2021-22 season, a new head coach and the potential return of captain Patrice Bergeron on an extension provides optimism for the Bruins’ 2022-23 outlook.

“It’s important to understand that American independence was not entirely won by the likes of John Adams and Benjamin Franklin,” Lane said. Long before the first drops of blood were shed in the battles of Lexington and Concord, people supported the cause of independence, he said. As a result, England blocked Boston Harbor to punish the city until the bill was paid. The tea was worth about 10,000 pounds sterling at the time, a sum that would translate into $1.3 million to $1.8 million today, O’Brien said. But their appeals to the Royal Governor to return the tea were refused. As the deadline approached it became clear they would never be able to return the ships to England on time.

“It is particularly appalling for Black people to know this group was largely unmonitored and for the most part allowed to roam freely,” he said. “Black people who are aware of what happened have to feel deeply concerned that their citizenship is undervalued and not protected in equal ways compared to whites,” he continued. “This is a highly organized group, so how is it they were able to organize coming to Boston, getting to Massachusetts, parking their cars, and making their way to downtown Boston, and nobody knew? Mayor Gary Christenson of Malden said he contacted Malden police Chief Glenn Cronin when he learned that the group had used the Oak Grove MBTA station to get into the city and would be returning. “He is deeply distressed upon being attacked by a mob of racists,” Peterson said. “The fact they were able to ... move through Massachusetts and there was not any type of alert to local law enforcement, that’s a concern too,” she said.
