NHL Rumors: Looks like this is the season for Utah Mammoths to take the next step
Boston Bruins unlikely to break down core if struggles continue
daily confrontation: Jeff Marek talks Boston Bruins and their struggles on Daily Faceoff Live?

Tyler Yaremchuk: “When teams start struggling, the Sharks are going to smell blood in the water and the Boston Bruins are struggling and that’s going to cause people to have center ice issues and be like, oh, Pavel Zacha, Casey Mittelstadt. Is it possible that things could get really ugly in Boston, though? Is it going to be a little bit further in terms of selling off, or do you think they’re just committed to keeping the (David) Pastrnak and (Charlie) McAvoy core intact?”
Marek: “I mean, I don’t understand why you would do that. Listen to one thing we know about the rebuild and ask anyone in Chicago, San Jose, how they feel right now. They suck, right?”
So I think that now more than ever, especially a team like the Boston Bruins, you look at your team and you say, well, I still don’t think, I think they’re close, but I still don’t think they’ve started saying we have to, you know, we have to sell more players or let more players go.
It doesn’t look good. One of the things I’m wondering right now is, you know, if you’re going to come back to this game and try to make the playoffs, you know, what segments do you have to play now for the rest of the season? You know, we’ve always said you can’t make the playoffs in October, November, but you can definitely get out. The Boston Bruins are doing a great job here.
NHL Rumors: Trevor Zegras joins Carolina Hurricanes
I don’t think Pastrnak is going anywhere, nor do I think the organization wants to cut ties with him. So does Charlie McAvoy, so does Jeremy Silverman. “
