Pucks with Haggs host Joe Haggerty is joined by The Fourth Period’s Shawn Hutcheon to preview the upcoming Bruins training camp and break down the biggest roster battles facing Boston before the season begins. With a crowded group of NHL-caliber forwards and defensemen competing for limited spots, Joe and Shawn discuss which players could emerge during camp and which veterans or younger players could ultimately find themselves on the move.

August 09 Are the Bruins Stuck in the Middle?
Haggs goes solo for episode 316 of Pucks with Haggs, tackling a loaded mailbag. Are the Bruins stuck in the middle — too good to rebuild, not good enough to contend? Haggs breaks down the Lindholm contract fallout, what Brad Marchand's departure actually cost the team, and why everything this season hinges on the young core stepping up. James Hagens, Matt Poitras, Fraser Minten — if they don't deliver, Don Sweeney's seat gets a lot hotter. Then a deep dive into the NHL's hybrid man-to-man defensive zone system and how the Bruins are still adjusting. Plus: should the NHL expand to 84 games, could a 23-man roster actually work, and what's a realistic minutes split for Jeremy Swayman this season? Haggs closes with his pick for this year's Fraser Minten — the under-the-radar player poised to make a bigger impact than anyone expects.
