The Boston Bruins continue to have convos with pending UFAs Viktor Arvidsson and Andrew Peeke. We’ll see if any traction on new contracts can be before July.

With Raddysh off the board and John Carlson now the undeniable top defender on the free agent market, I wouldn’t be shocked to see a team step up and give him a contract that takes him to age 40. I really wouldn’t.

As expected, Toronto’s previous trade with Philadelphia appears to have been a cap move to take a run at a big name. That’s a hefty extension for a 30 year old defender, but Raddysh had a hell of a season in 2025-26.

Confirming that Toronto and Tampa Bay are finalizing a sign-and-trade involving pending UFA Darren Raddysh. Hearing that it will be an eight-year deal with an AAV in the 8's (north of $8 million).

So the #NHLBruins trade Andre Gasseau’s rights to move up 16 spots in the fourth round, and add an extra 5th round selection as well. Nothing earth shattering, but good value for a player who was not in the Bruins plans.
Boston Bruins@NHLBruins

The #NHLBruins have acquired a 2026 fourth-round draft pick (104th overall) and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick (157th overall) from San Jose in exchange for the rights to forward Andre Gasseau and a 2026 fourth-round draft pick (120th overall). 📰: bit.ly/4gszSvp

The time to acquire Trocheck was 3-4 years ago. He’s still a very effective player, but the problem is, the #NHLBruins already have about 4 guys who can be a 2C. They really don’t need another one unless Sweeney can pull a rabbit out of his hat and dispose of Elias Lindholm

@WickedWrister_ I could see Zacha being moved if the right deal came along, but trading him for draft capital would fly in the face of what they’re trying to do (competitive retool). It would have to be a hockey trade. McTavish is an interesting idea as they try to get a bit younger.

@WhatsBruinBlog I would really hate to lose Poitras but as you said nobody has a stranglehold on things so here we are. Hagens should be on the opening night roster imo. Zacha may end up as trade capital who knows, we shall see.

@RonoAnalyst Ristolainen’s career progression from “offensive, powerplay quarterback” to “top-4 minute munching defensive defender” has been fascinating

The Ottawa Senators have interest in Rasmus Ristolainen, who is a good 2nd pairing defensive defenseman.

@hibruinationpod Gotta give him a shot. Boston isn’t a contender yet. It’s frustrating watching guys like Eyssimont, Steeves and Kuraly eat up ice time instead of developing young players who could potentially be a part of the long term plan.

What to do with Matthew Poitras? The 22-year-old right-shot Center is an RFA this offseason. He was unable to crack the opening-day roster last year, but he has had an impact when called up. Is it time to move on, or give him a reasonable shot? Discuss below! #NHLbruins

@WickedWrister_ There’s definitely a chance. The Bruins have a dilemma at center, which is that they have so many of them but none of them are definitively locked in anywhere. Zacha, Minten, Lindholm, Hagens.. does Poitras make the team? Someone’s going to have to play wing.

John Carlson is still an effective player, most likely a fit for a ready-made team. He won’t be cheap. I don’t see the #NHLBruins as a destination unless he is okay with spending the tail end of his career playing a big role on a team that is still in a transitionary period.
NHL Rumour Report@NHLRumourReport

Pierre LeBrun: My guess is there’s a two-year deal around $10 million per year waiting for John Carlson on the July 1 open market, if not more - The Athletic (6/16)

@NyPuck51818 Now would be a the time to cash in on Pavel Zacha via trade if they don’t intend to re sign him. No sure Larkin is going to have interest in coming to Boston, but if he was, I’d take a look for sure

@WhatsBruinBlog I missed that comment. I feel like they are going to try and trade him this off-season anyway. I wonder if they'll take a shot at offering Zacha for Larkin as a starting point (not a one-for-one)? Detroit will want roster pieces back for Larkin.

#NHLBruins fans - if James Hagens makes the roster as a full timer for 2026-27, where should he play? And who gets demoted?

At draft combine, Boston GM Don Sweeney told @globejimmcbride that he’d likely find a trade partner for Andre Gasseau — taken 213th in 2021, but en route to free agency this summer. We’ll see where it goes, but possibility San Jose gets him and signs him.
