BHN Puck Links: Boston Bruins Keep Looking For Defensemen
The Boston Bruins continue to leave no stone unturned when it comes to their search for a left shot veteran defenseman not named Zdeno Chara.
Should acquiring players on long-term injury reserve still be allowed?
Don’t look now Boston Bruins fans but the Montreal Canadiens will enter the season as arguably the most improved and balanced team in the NHL.
Speaking of improving, are the ‘hungry’ Buffalo Sabres ready to finally challenge for a playoff spot in the East Division?
That and more in the latest Boston Hockey Now Puck Links!
The Boston Bruins have chosen their words carefully when it comes to the delicate contract situation with their longtime captain Zdeno Chara but they also haven’t been shy about the fact they’re in hot pursuit of a left-shot defenseman. My partner in crime at BHN, Joe Haggerty, reported Monday that the Bruins were taking a long look at UFA defenseman Ben Hutton. More on that and two other free agent targets that the Bruins are looking at for left-side depth. (Boston Hockey Now)

Given their weak goaltending and suspect defense, I’m not sure the Buffalo Sabres are playoff contenders in a stacked East Division but they will be ‘hungrier’. (National Post)
After finding out they will be without their best young player and center Kirby Dach on Monday, the Chicago Blackhawks got more bad news on Tuesday as they announced that Jonathan Toews is out indefinitely with an illness. (Blackhawks.com)

Hey jimmy….a few crazy thoughts on the Bruins….I am actually for the youth movement on defence…we need to see what we have in zoboril and Val (especially zoboril)…also are we allowed to protect these guys in the expansion draft because of their age and nhl exposure? Could chats remain unsigned and come on at the trade deadline for a playoff push at a pro rated contract?

“They also haven’t been shy about the fact they’re in hot pursuit of a left-shot defenseman”… Your article only refers to Haggerty mentioning about Ben Hutton. There is no other source confirming reports of this… And odd how you don’t mention Sami Vatanen, even though his picture is front and center.
With all due respect, can you read english? Mention him thrid paragraph in
Not sure what to tell you, the third paragraph in this reads.
“Don’t look now Boston Bruins fans but the Montreal Canadiens will enter the season as arguably the most improved and balanced team in the NHL”.
Also no comment about your “source”?
