If “alignment” was the buzzword during Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy’s Zoom address following the Rafael Devers’ trade, “evolve offensively” might as well be the mantra for the 2025-26 Bruins.

Sturm has his work cut out for him when it comes to righting the ship in Boston, with the first-time bench boss tasked with shoring up Boston’s defensive structure, spurring the development of younger players, and selling his vision to veterans like David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy.
