About this episode

The episode discusses the Bruins' moves on the first day of free agency, including trades and player returns, and evaluates their impact on the team's future.

We react to the Bruins' moves (and non-moves) on July 1, including their trade for Will Borgen, the return of Connor Clifton, moving on from Viktor Arvidsson, and trading away Joonas Korpisalo. Did the Bruins get better? What is the long-term vision here? Plus, ranking their defensemen in order of importance and figuring out potential opening night lines.
