In this episode of Locked on Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren is joined by fellow Bruins fan and Locked on NHL Game Night host Cam Stuart to break down the biggest questions heading into training camp. From lineup battles and prospect development to how Don Sweeney’s latest signings fit into the roster, they dig into what this season might hold.

The two debate whether David Pastrnak or Charlie McAvoy should wear the “C,” explore how Boston can balance veteran presence with emerging young talent, and consider whether this team has what it takes to return to playoff contention. They also touch on trade scenarios that could reshape the roster as the season unfolds.

With camp right around the corner, this episode delivers insights on redemption vs. repeat, the captaincy question, and the kids-vs-veterans tug-of-war that will define the 2025–26 season
