@BlackAndGold277 He can literally still sign the ELC anytime he wants! Like why are people bitching about a guy getting up to pro game speed? I don’t think he’s gonna be there long anyway lol. I’m with you Mark lol

Some pretty wild takes out there about Bruins James Hagens signing an ATO and heading to the AHL Providence Bruins.
We get you all wanted him to start in the NHL but to say his pro career is already over because he’s going to Providence is ridiculous.

@SamSmithOnYT You’re sane. Congratulations. 🎉 Bruins X is legit cray

Hagens joining Providence is absolutely the right move. Not rushing his development is good for now. My feeling is he won’t be there long… #NHLBruins

The #NCAAHockey Tournament is here. Six #NHLBruins prospects made the cut, and a few others came up short, but went down swinging in their conference tournaments.
My latest #BruinsProspects recap for @BNGProductions is live.

To all the #NHLBruins fans upset he’s not in Boston, THIS is why. Genius move.

Basically, this gives the Bruins a way to get Hagens in the system without burning a year off his ELC. They could deem him ready for a call up at some point later this season and sign his ELC then. So yes, he essentially has a tryout in Providence to see if he makes Boston. They could also decide they don't need him this year in Boston (say if no one gets injured) and save a year on his ELC.

@MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets Getting him up to pro speed. That’s it. The McAvoy treatment.

Happy Hagens is signed. Wish he was starting in Boston. Dont really understand starting him in Providence

Morgan Geekie says Mason Lohrei actually wrote this tweet. Lohrei called it a co-production.

Second article of the day for @BNGProductions ⬇️ Five games remain in March for the Bruins, and it can make-or-break the season. Two back-to-backs, and four of the five teams on the schedule hold a playoff spot. Tough end of the month for the #NHLBruins blackngoldhockey.com/2026/03/the-fi…

New piece up from me for @BNGProductions, and it's injury news to the Bruins' roster from this morning. Tanner Jeannot was wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice #NHLBruins blackngoldhockey.com/2026/03/bruins…

@RyanJBosworth All because he hasn't signed an ELC TWO DAYS after he got eliminated. 😂

We went from "Hagens is going to make an immediate impact" to "Hagens will have a fantastic NHL career, even if he isn't in Boston."
What are we doing here?
English
I love that #NHLBruins fans are freaking out since James Hagens didn't sign his ELC 2.4 seconds after being eliminated. Now there's debate if he'll ever play in the NHL? LOL

Second @BNGProductions article from me today⬇️ Nikita Zadorov finally had his signature Bruins moment. Last night, Zadorov scored the GWG against the Red Wings. His second goal of the season was his first GWG since 2024 #NHLBruins blackngoldhockey.com/2026/03/nikita…
