On this episode of Evan Marinofsky sits down with Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm as they discuss this upcoming season. The Bruins are a team with interesting make up on their current roster with a blend of younger players and veteran players.  WATCH FULL INTERVIEW WITH STURM: https://youtu.be/j8yFMtePQvg The question and big topic of discussion this offseason has been how will Marco Sturm handle this debate of playing the younger guys vs the veterans.  When asked about it Marco Sturm told Evan this about playing the younger players right away: “I’m not a guy who will give them everything right away.” Marco explained why everything must be earned and slowly as they earn it more and more will be granted to them.  Marco gives the example of how last season at times Bruins assistant coach Steve Spott would suggest getting Fraser Minten out on the power play. Marco explain how he believed he could do it but at first he was not allowed to and once Sturm felt he was he allowed him to take that next step and give him more responsibility. “There are little steps that I have to hit, and there are boxes that have they have to check before, before I give him the big cookie.” Marco explained how to him it doesn’t matter what round you are picked in and everything must be earned and just because you’re a 1st round pick doesn’t mean you will be immediately be given chances over veterans: “Gotta earn it first because there is a lot of other guys, they already done that work, and they compete really hard every day and just because there's a first rounder coming in.” Bruins Beat on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!

On this episode of Bruins Beat, Evan Marinofsky and Conor Ryan take a hard look at where the Bruins stand financially compared to the rest of the NHL. With the salary cap landscape shifting league-wide, how does Boston's situation actually stack up — and do they have the flexibility to make meaningful moves before the season starts?

Then the conversation turns to Charlie McAvoy — is he still an elite defenseman, or has the conversation around him shifted? His contract, his performance, and his place among the NHL's best blue liners are all on the table.

In this episode of Poke The Bear, Conor and Ty dig into one of the most important questions heading into the Bruins' season — which players are set up to take a step forward, and which ones might be due for a reality check? They run through the regression candidates on Boston's roster, the veterans who may have had career-best seasons that are tough to replicate, and why that matters for a team still trying to figure out its identity post-rebuild. On the flip side, they make the case for a handful of breakout candidates — younger players with something to prove and the opportunity to finally get consistent minutes.

Then he pivots to the 2026 free agent class — is it actually worth saving cap space for, or is building through free agency a relic of the past? Jason Robertson is the name to watch.

Joe Haggerty breaks down a busy stretch for the Bruins, starting with the trade of Andre Gasseau's rights for additional draft capital — and why it ended up being smart asset management on Boston's part. Joe also gives an overview of the Bruins' offseason priorities: a top-six forward and a top-four defenseman, with plenty of cap space to make it happen. Plus a loaded mailbag: reaction to Carolina's first-ever Stanley Cup, including three former Bruins lifting the trophy, Brandon Bussey's incredible underdog journey, the fallout from the Vegas/Torts split and what's next for Bruce Cassidy, and a heartfelt tribute to Patrice Bergeron ahead of his number retirement.
