1 week ago | bostonherald.com | Steve Conroy

On Monday night we’ll find out if the Bruins will be happy with where they’re picking in June’s draft, or very happy. The National Hockey League will hold its draft lottery and, depending on the outcome, the B’s can pick between No. 1 or No. 7. By virtue of their fifth-worst finish, the B’s have the fifth-best shot at landing the top pick.
With Mike Sullivan off the list, Bruins' coaching search goes on

1 week ago | bostonherald.com | Steve Conroy

As Mike Sullivan is fitted for Broadway Blue instead of Black and Gold, the Bruins’ coaching search continues. Where it will land is still anyone’s guess at this point. The consummation of the Sullivan-Rangers marriage, announced on Friday morning, happened so quickly it’s doubtful that the B’s even got up to bat. Sullivan and the Pittsburgh Penguins officially parted ways on Monday and by Thursday night, he and the Rangers were already deep into contract discussions.

A prime NHL head coaching candidate hit the market on Monday morning and he’s got strong Boston ties. But the Bruins would not be the only team with logical interest in him.

Bruins must extend Don Sweeney, and other thoughts

2 weeks ago | bostonherald.com | Steve Conroy

While the other half of the National Hockey League enjoys the gut-wrenching Stanley Cup playoff games, the Bruins are in the midst of their own kind of angst. They’ve missed the post-season for the first time since 2016.

Bruins GM Don Sweeney wants to see more internal competition next season – and that starts in the goaltending department. After signing a mammoth eight-year, $66 million contract, netminder Jeremy Swayman just about face-planted in 2024-25. In 58 games, he went 22-29-7 with a .892 save percentage and 3.11 goals against average, mediocre marks at best. Sweeney suggested the team may have erred by not giving more games to Joonas Korpisalo.
