When the Boston Bruins' disappointing 2024-25 season ended, the management team of Charlie Jacobs, Cam Neely, and Don Sweeney made it clear that they were not going into a rebuild, but more of a retool. Well, four months later, it wasn't the "retool" that is going to move the needle with the fanbase.
Since that press conference in April, the Bruins have had some luck on draft night with James Hagens falling to them at No. 7, but he isn't going to be around this year, instead returning to Boston College. Boston did hire Marco Sturm as the next head coach and traded for forward Viktor Arvidsson from the Edmonton Oilers.
