At the end of season presser, Don Sweeney said the Bruins needed to get faster and bigger in the next season. He certainly delivered in Nikita Zadorov. The 6’6” 248lb defenseman signed a six year, $5 million deal with Boston. He’s added some grit to the blueline that’s been lacking over the last few seasons. While some of his playing style has been questionable over the years, we feel confident that the Bruins system will bring out the very best in this giant of a human.
