BHN Daily Links: Krug’s Commitment To Team Resonates With Young Bruins

As NHL training camps get underway this week, the NHL news cycle is kicking into full gear and the Boston Bruins remain one of the big stories around the league as they try to sign restricted free agent defensemen Brandon Carlo and Charlie McAvoy. Another player that the Bruins would like to lock up is Torey Krug and Krug saying he’d take less to stay in Boston and bypass unrestricted free agency next July resonated with some young Bruins.

While Bruins GM Don Sweeney was trying to hammer out deals with McAvoy and Carlo this past weekend, he was also watching his top prospects perform at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo and a trio of players left a great impression.

Meanwhile, the Bruins’ archrivals made it clear they won’t be bringing back a defenseman that patrolled their blue line for 16 seasons.
