About this episode

The episode discusses the Boston Bruins' defensive lineup and potential pairings for the upcoming season.

🎙️The Boston Bruins roster has plenty of defensive depth, but do they have the right pieces to build a better blue line? We break down the Bruins defense, potential pairings for Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, and where Mason Lohrei, Jonathan Aspirot, Connor Clifton and Will Borgen could fit in Marco Sturm's system. We also look at Boston's defensive struggles from last season, the competition heading into training camp, and which Bruins could be the odd men out. With 13 defensemen fighting for limited NHL roster spots, the Bruins have some difficult decisions ahead.
