A regulation loss in their season finale and the Bruins would've locked themselves into the fourth-best odds of winning the 2025 NHL Draft lottery next month. That's all it took.

A good soldier from the moment he walked in the door in 2014, and in any and every role the Bruins asked him to fill on their coaching staff, Joe Sacco did what he could to bring what was a deeply flawed Bruins roster to life following the firing of Jim Montgomery last November.

The Felger & Mazz Big Board made the move over to the defensive side of the ball on Tuesday. For the second day the guys threw markers for defensive linemen - three for tackles and three for ends. So far this offseason the Patriots have made significant changes along their defensive line - both in terms of incoming and outgoing players. Of the defensive linemen that played at least 35% of the team's snaps last year, only two - Keion White and Jeremiah Pharms - are still on the roster.
