    Are the Bruins Stuck in the Middle?

    Haggs goes solo for episode 316 of Pucks with Haggs, tackling a loaded mailbag. Are the Bruins stuck in the middle — too good to rebuild, not good enough to contend? Haggs breaks down the Lindholm contract fallout, what Brad Marchand's departure actually cost the team, and why everything this season hinges on the young core stepping up. James Hagens, Matt Poitras, Fraser Minten — if they don't deliver, Don Sweeney's seat gets a lot hotter. Then a deep dive into the NHL's hybrid man-to-man defensive zone system and how the Bruins are still adjusting. Plus: should the NHL expand to 84 games, could a 23-man roster actually work, and what's a realistic minutes split for Jeremy Swayman this season? Haggs closes with his pick for this year's Fraser Minten — the under-the-radar player poised to make a bigger impact than anyone expects. 0:00 – Intro 1:52 – Bruins offseason news & free agency landscape 7:59 – Riley Duran hockey camp & summer hockey talk 10:24 – Mailbag: are the Bruins stuck in the middle? 13:48 – Brad Marchand departure & what it cost Boston 17:44 – It all comes down to the young players 20:28 – PrizePicks 22:39 – Mailbag: NHL hybrid man-to-man defensive zone explained 27:35 – Mailbag: 84-game schedule & 23-man roster debate 33:01 – Mailbag: who's this year's Frazier Minton? 37:34 – Mailbag: Jeremy Swayman minutes split projection 41:32 – Outro Bruins on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!
