June 21 Will the Bruins Make Big Moves this Summer?
Joe Haggerty breaks down a busy stretch for the Bruins, starting with the trade of Andre Gasseau's rights for additional draft capital — and why it ended up being smart asset management on Boston's part. Joe also gives an overview of the Bruins' offseason priorities: a top-six forward and a top-four defenseman, with plenty of cap space to make it happen.
Plus a loaded mailbag: reaction to Carolina's first-ever Stanley Cup, including three former Bruins lifting the trophy, Brandon Bussey's incredible underdog journey, the fallout from the Vegas/Torts split and what's next for Bruce Cassidy, and a heartfelt tribute to Patrice Bergeron ahead of his number retirement. Joe also tackles listener questions on Viktor Arvidsson's free agency, the Elias Lindholm contract, and advice for parents navigating youth hockey.

June 14 Should The Bruins TRADE David Pastrnak?
Joe Haggerty breaks down a busy week in Bruins land — starting with Stanley Cup Finals reactions, where Carolina is taking control behind Brandon Bussey's remarkable underdog story. Then it's Bruins news: the hiring of assistant coach Matt McIlvaine, Pastrnak's All-Star nod, McAvoy's Norris votes, and confirmation of the 2028 Toronto first round pick.
Joe also gets into what Boston actually needs this offseason — a top-six center and a right-shot defenseman — and why cap space and assets aren't the problem. The real challenge? Getting players to want to come to Boston in an era where stars increasingly dictate where they play.
Plus a deep Q&A mailbag: the NHL buzzer beater debate, whether Minton and Hagens can take a step next year, the real trade value of Jeremy Swayman, and the big question — should the Bruins ever consider trading Pastrnak?
