Are the Boston Bruins a much better team post-NHL Trade Deadline?
The Boston Bruins traded so many players off their roster at the NHL trade deadline but after watching the new look Bruins I have to ask the question are they a better team? In this video I talk about the players they brought in including Henri Jokiharju, Casey Mittelstadt, Jakub Lauko, Marat Khusnutdinov, and Fraser Minten and how they impacted the team so far. I also talk a bit about the players they traded away including former captain Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, and Justin Brazeau.
Lastly I give my thoughts on the future leaders of this team moving forward including David Pastrnak, Jeremy Swayman, Charlie McAvoy, Mason Lohrei, and Nikita Zadorov.

I really enjoy your show 🇨🇦🏒🐈⬛🍺👀.
It's hard watching these games, I want them to win and cheering for them, even though losing and finishing low as possible is probably best for the team long term.
I enjoy ur video as always but u barely adressed the ''elefant in the room" with Marchand leaving
Enjoy your BNG posts now living outside Tokyo! Longtime fan since ‘68. A down season, but with a much needed roster “reset” with younger, hungry players and draft assets bodes well for future🐻👍🏻
Bruins will squeak into the 8th spot
Love the all the newcomers they have been playing well 🎉🎉🖤💛
Finally someone who isn’t being a negative troll and beating down the team because they traded Marchand. He clearly wasn’t doing his job as captain this year, sure he got 21 goals but that’s not the point – the point is to motivate the team to win and clearly that just hasn’t been there. Now was Marchand the sole reason they had such a bad season? No, it was also their old roster injured players and overall laziness and lack of motivation that lead to the season being what it is, but the results speak for themselves, without Marchand and the slow teammates of old we’ve been 2-0, which has only happened when Sacco became coach, and then it fell back. Time will tell if they can play like they have, but I have every reason to believe they will considering their young players their speed and overall motivation recently. However that first Florida goal could’ve been saved but it was a missile of a shot so I’ll give swayman the pass on that.
I'm amazed that after all the trades, they look like a better team, and they gathered a bunch of picks and some prospects as well. Hope they make it to the big dance, I've enjoyed the last 3 games, unfortunate broken stick at the end of the Carolina game.
How much cap space did the bruins come out with after all these trades does anybody know?
brazeau can barely stand on skates, lol i dont get it.
Can you imagine if they somehow manage to squeak into the playoffs and get matched up against Florida in the first round, only to BEAT Florida and cost themselves a first-round pick? That would be the most stereotypical 2024/2025 Boston Bruins way to end a season ever.
Coyle brazeau Fredrick coyle were dead weight ..
The bruins are def faster now
MITTELSTADT IS SICK
New sub, like your enthusiasm. Can't add much to what you have said, but Lauko looks like a new and improved version of the Lauko that was traded away. Could be he is pumped to be back but there is something different about him now. PLEASE make Pasta the captain, going to be honest I would hate to see them give McAvoy the C. Not a big fan of him,not because of his contract but his play is lackadaisical often…half-ass effort. You do realize,that if the Bruins make the playoffs the hockey gods will give us Florida in the first round.
Bruin"s will not see the Playoff"s this yr.
Like I have been saying for 2 years marchand was not a leader he was an instigator and that was what he was best at. Losing Carlo and coyle sucked but it is a business.
I will miss Frederic, they need another player like him or Kastelic, well the good, involved Frederic not this years version. Too bad Matt Olivier resigned with Columbus he would have been a perfect bottom 6 wing. Addition by subtraction was getting rid of Coyle and Carlo who both play soft and with little to no passion.
Nice cheerful video 🙂 I think the crucial game is the next against Senators. If Bruins win, that could be crazy boost and then everything is possible but if they loose that could put them down and playoff lost.
Not with Swayman on the team
