What the Bruins Will Look Like in a Month: Sturm, O’Brien & Cap Space
Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston BruinsAbout this episode
A month from now, the Boston Bruins could look very different — and today, we’re breaking down exactly how. Segment 1: Marco Sturm is officially behind the bench. We dive into why the Bruins chose the former fan favorite, what he brings as a coach, and how his development success in LA with players like Quinton Byfield and Brandt Clarke fits Boston’s new direction. Segment 2: Meet Jake O’Brien — Boston’s 2025 first-round pick. He may not have the flashiest highlight reel, but he’s the kind of responsible, high-IQ center the Bruins desperately need. We break down his game, his upside, and how he could fit in under Sturm. Segment 3: Cap crunch time. With over $26M to start, we project how the Bruins can shape their roster while still having $10M+ in flexibility. Who gets re-signed, who’s out, and what the opening night lineup could look like — including the trade of Korpisalo and promotion of DiPietro.
