The tribute, now in its second year, was spearheaded by our friends at Gupta Media in Boston. Take a minute to step outside, look up, and remember the lives lost and all who were forever changed. Boston remembers. I’m Evan Marinowski’s Connor Ryan. Connor, what’s up, Evan? I’m doing well. How you doing? Doing great. Doing great. I assume you are on the recovery bend. Hopefully, a little bit. Still a little bit of a Yeah, still still fighting through it. The the white blood cells are fighting the good fight. So, we’ll be back back in back in order in a couple of days. So, at least let’s hope. If I’m hacking up a lung, if I’m hacking up a lung next week once training camp starts, we got a problem. So, we got a problem. Yes, that would not be a good thing. That would be a little bit of a problem. Um, busy week for the Bruins as training camp uh is right around the corner as you said next week. Uh, rookie camp has been this week. I will say, Connor, I had a men’s league game at Warrior God. uh this morning, Thursday morning at 7 a.m. and there were a group of rookies walking uh in the back there as I was stepping, you know, out onto the uh onto the bench. And all I could think was, “Please don’t look at me. Please don’t look at any please don’t watch any of what what’s about to transpire over the next hour. Please don’t watch any of us play hockey.” Um but it’s from rookie camp as they go off, they’re already off to Buffalo um for those games. It’s happening all over the NHL. Um, and one interesting thing about rookie camp has been Dan Lockmelace. Um, it seems like he is becoming a bigger and bigger storyline. And it’s again, it’s easy to see why. 12 points last year in six Providence Bruins games. That was after a really good season at UMass. I believe he had it was either 33 or 44 or 40 points. Uh, but it was UMass. So, I mean, can’t go wrong with that. Great. Incredible program. Um, no bias. Uh, and then he went to Worlds with Latvia, six points in seven games, 6’1 center. Recently, The Athletic, they’ve been doing their reddrafts. So, in 2022, he went from, I think, pick 119 to number 35. So, like early second round pick in the reddraft, and it’s been three or four years since the 2022 draft, so you have a good amount to go off of. Um, he’s someone that seems like he’s going to push for a legit roster spot. Yeah, I’m really high on Lash Melis. saying that I’m not like tabbing him that he’s going to all of a sudden make the team on October 8th or anything like that, but he’s a guy that I think you look at his skill set and what he can do and also just the body of work that he’s put together. And I get that it’s a small sample size, but I think you you try to find things and prospects that kind of, you know, raise your eyebrow to see where a guy could maybe thrive at the NHL level or where you can see the their prolevel traits. And for it’s not often you have a player who is already playing in Hockey East, you know, night in and night out, arguably one of the tougher spots in college hockey, and then you go to Providence and you take another step forward and you play even better, right? to go right from Providence right as they’re like bracing for the playoffs. He goes in and, you know, when he was drafted, even like maybe his first year at UMass, he kind of, you know, had the label of, well, he could be like a solid, you know, two-way third line player, maybe maybe he’s more of a fourthline guy, but responsible, makes the right plays, that kind of stuff, which if you’re picking a guy in the fourth round, it seems like a worthwhile investment, right, of that type of player, that type of profile to then go to Providence and then, you know, have 12 points in six games, getting reps on the power play, uh, looking really good there. He had a lot of good chemistry with, uh, Matt Potra during his time in Providence, and then to go from there to Worlds where he has what, six points in seven games. Uh, gets shouted out by Sydney Crosby. He’s going up against legit NHL talent. Um, I will say that Lash Melis, I’m not comparing him to David Crerachche in terms of his play style, but his uh the way he talks to the media is very much like cr very very dry because yeah, Scott Mclofflin of WEI asked him uh you know to get more clarity on that conversation that Crosby had with Lashellis at Worlds of complimenting his game and uh Lashallis completely straightfaced was like yeah like you know Crosby was saying I’m like the next Gretzky I’m this unbelievable player. there, but he said it like so dry and I feel like I don’t know if it’s also he’s got a little bit of an accent um that all of us didn’t really realize that he was clearly messing around and so we’re all just like standing there and he’s looking around like and he’s like no he just like said like you know I was good at faceoffs and like was impressed with how I played was so still positive but he’s got a little bit of that very dry humor that reminds me a little bit of David Crerache. Uh the Bruins would be very happy if he’s David Crerache on the ice as well. I’m not going to go there yet. I’m not going to go there yet, but um I do think he’s a guy that you look at just the level that he’s played at, the way that he’s elevated his game at every level, be it at the international stage or now in the pro game with the AHL, he’s a guy that I think Broomman should keep tabs on. Even if he doesn’t make the team out of camp, which I’m not expecting, if he’s like a point per game guy in Providence, he’s going to be one of the the players that I think is going to get some reps here moving forward. and he kind of reminds me and I think I saw it on HF board so I can’t take credit for it but they kind of remind him yeah I was I was diving through the weeds but you know got to see the pulse of some very dedicated Bruins fans and they kind of remind and they said that he could be like a Jackson Blake right who broke out this past year with Carolina and it was the same thing I think he was a fourth round pick was probably more productive in college but you know went to the pro game was putting up good numbers and then they put him to the NHL level found a role for him and he kind of produces and that’s kind of what you notice with Lashmell. He’s not a physical power forward. He’s not a guy that has the straight line speed of a Fabian Lysel. Doesn’t have an elite shot, but just consistently makes plays, right? And I think if that can translate, you could have someone that’s worth uh keeping tabs on this year if you’re a Bruins fan. You know, I I’ve been in hockey a long time. You have, too. Maybe uh you’ve heard this before, but I my eyebrows raised on uh Wednesday when Ryan Mujanell was talking and said Lalis was a coach’s binky. Mhm. I’ve never heard that before. I have you like like that that term or like what a binky is. Well, I know what a binky is, but a coach’s binky. I was like what? What is that? He was dropping some bangers. Yeah. Ryu Janelle is a great uh great coach to talk to. Yeah. is phenomenal. But he called Bucks a coach’s binky and it’s a good thing means they’re reliable. Um I’m assuming that’s what he means. I I just I was like excuse me. Um I do think like I agree with you. I don’t think Luxmell is making the team out of camp. That hurts me to say as a UMass guy I want him I want his number in the rafters as soon as humanly possible. But um he’s someone who probably does need some more time in Providence and we’ll see. Again, we’ll get into we’re talking to training talking about training camp in a bit and you never know what can happen. Matt Potra a couple years ago we were notoriously like yeah you know he needs time and hindsight actually might have been go back to junior. Um but still like you never know. I will say though like it is only six games in Providence regular season games in Providence. Like it you do need some more time down there. You look at you sort of read the tea leaves at the NHL level. guys like Frasier Mitten are probably closer to joining this lineup and making a an impact. Matt Potra, same thing. Then you have all those free agents you signed. You have guys like Mark Castlick and John Beech are already here. So like I don’t know if now right off the jump is the time I think Luxmell would have to have a killer training camp, a killer preseason where it’s like we actually can’t keep this guy away. We sending him to Province would be malpractice. I don’t see that being the case, but I’m with you. I see him. If he’s cooking in his first two months in the AHL and it’s like, all right, we can’t keep him down there anymore. We got to find a spot in front of the NHL level, then great. Like, he’s reliable. And I think you see with a lot of these prospects, at least Potra, Mitten, Los, they’re all reliable. And I think for Marco Sturm who’s coming in like yeah you don’t have a high-end guy in your pipeline who’s in Providence who you’re like oh when they come up they can fit in the top six and make an impact immediately. You don’t know that you have that guy yet. Blumel could be Steve’s maybe Lysel. We’ll see like all those guys but like you do have this infusion of middle six center types who are reliable at the very least. And I mean it’s one thing for them to come in and make an impact. I think it’s another and we’ll talk about Mitten in a bit for these guys to come in and sort of find that next gear like find that next sort of offensive ceiling and I’m curious if Luxmell can kind of keep that production going at the NHL level. Yeah, I think that’s probably the biggest determinant between him and Minton, right? Is you like their profile, you like that? I think they’re um a safe player to project in time, right? Like I I look at a guy like Fraser Minton as a guy that he’s going to play, you know, at least what 300 400 games in the NHL. not more like he’s just going to be I think a very easy player to map out his floor and I think lollis like could be someone that is similar right where you like what like you you like what he could bring at the NHL level in due time it’s just what is the ceiling going to be like I think the Bruins would love it if ends up being a solid thirdline player but is he a third line player that you know is more of a give you 30 points and play a couple of games here and there or is he a guy that could be like a Jackson Blake, right, where it feels like he could be a 40, 50 point guy that maybe can get bumped up the lineup. I think that’s going to be the biggest determinant for both of those players. Two guys who aren’t as maybe skilled as um James Hagens, right? But I think it’s easy to map out that they will be playing NHL games at some point. It’s just how high on the depth chart are they going to be? Yeah. And it’s funny cuz like we’ll get into Mitten in a second, but like Mitten, Patra, and Lmelis, all 04s, all 21 years old, so they’re all sort of just on the cusp of make of having to make sort of a consistent NHL impact. Um, but we’ll I want to get into Mitten in a bit, but first, our friends over at Prize Pix. This episode is brought to you by Prize Pix.

Demario Douglas more than.5 rushing and uh receiving touchdowns. I had Lamar Jackson more than.5 passing yards which they have those deals quite a bit. I highly encourage them. And then I Justin Jefferson more than.5 rushing and receiving touchdowns. So I was cooking. Hopefully that continues. Prize Pix is simple to play.

We’ll save that for the predictions episode, Evan. That’s right. That’s right. Well, Prize Fix probably doesn’t want to be associated with our predictions episode. Like, you know what? We’re going to pass. You don’t have to You don’t have to talk about us in that episode. Yeah. Um Frzier Mitten Frasier Mitten spoke to the media as well on Wednesday. We talked to him and what I loved was when Bridget P asked him, I think it was Bridget from WEI asked him something along the lines of like, “What’s it going to take to stick at the NHL level?” and he was like, “Well, if I knew, I probably would.” Uh, and I thought, “All right, Fraser. Good for you.” Um, he to me, I think, is the most of the three, has that skill set of reliable middle six center, can play in most situations, has the size. They talk a lot about maturity with him, I think, physically and mentally. to me I I you know and we’ll get into training camp storylines in a bit and early season storylines as well but I’m really intrigued by what he can be and then is there an offensive ceiling and he even said yesterday you know I don’t think I’m going to be a 30 goal or a 60point guy as a rookie. Uh we’ll see if that happens you know throughout his career at all but like I am curious if there’s a little bit more of an offensive upside there potentially as well. Yeah, I I think he’s a player and Ryan Mujino kind of mapped out what I think we’ve all heard about Fraser Minton. He said like at the trade deadline, he finds out that Mittton’s heading to Providence and he checks his phone and gets texts from like hockey coaches and people he knows just in the hockey world that are just singing Minton’s praises of him as a player, his maturity, all that stuff. And then he said he even got texts from people who aren’t even associated with hockey who just know Fraser who had a lot of good things to say about him. kind of what you hear about him as a player, his maturity, as you said, like he’s 21 years old. Sure looks like it looks like, you know, a guy that uh is still years away from being in the NHL even though he’s played games already with both Toronto and Boston, but has a really mature approach. Like even was mentioning like his details and how good he is and how he projects as a two-way player and how you know coaches and players when you get to the NHL, you get paid to win. So, like, yeah, I’m going to do those sorts of things that are going to keep me in the lineup because a coach is going to trust me to backtrack and make those small plays that maybe don’t reflect on the score sheet, but it’s stuff that makes him a coach’s binky, right? In terms of to to have that that’ll be that’ll be the the name of this episode, but coach’s binky. Um, but a guy that, you know, can play in all situations, a coach can trust, can put him in different spots. Um, and that’s kind of what you like about Fraser Minton. I agree that I think the biggest question mark for him isn’t whether or not he’s an NHL player, right? I think he’s going to carve out a role as a regular with the Bruins or wherever wherever he might land, right? But I think it comes down to what his offensive upside is going to be. I kind of project him more as like a Chris Kelly, maybe Charlie Coyle, like you know, what’s what’s his peak going to be? Is it maybe more of you know 35 40ish points, right? like 15 goals, something like that, but he anchors your your third line center spot, which again, if you have a guy that can play in all situations, can win faceoffs, can contribute on the penalty kill as a key piece there, and can add just some five on five scoring there on the side, you got a pretty useful asset there. And so, I think that’s kind of what I view Minton is. It’s just how soon can he can he reach that role. Like I I think it it’d be a best case scenario if at the end of this year Mittton’s in that third line spot and the Bruins even regardless of how this year plays out, you look at a guy like Mitten and you can say, “All right, our third line set, at least a guy down the middle. This is a guy that we can put in behind, you know, Hagens, Lindome, those types of players. That’s someone who I think uh you want to see him kind of take that spot moving forward going into this year.” Well, you mentioned Coyle and I think Coyle’s an interesting comp because I thought one of the most underrated parts of the last deadline for them. They got a lot for Coyle. They got a lot for Carlo, but they sort of immediately they replaced Coyle in the future with Brazer Mitten. And I thought that like you you replaced a future uh your current 3C with a future 3C who you know could have a higher ceiling. You never know. And I think, you know, I am curious to see because like it does seem like third line center is a real roster battle, real lineup battle. And I think, you know, we talk about Matt Potra and Melis and um and Mitten and other guys. And I think to me, like Mitten’s got to show it in camp, but Mitten kind of has all the ingredients that I think like a Marco Sturm coming in playing the way that he wants this team to play, that’s how Mitten operates. And I think that’s my thing where like with Mitten, if I had to like if you were doing odds on who the favorite is for 3C, wouldn’t Mitten be number one coming out of camp? I I would probably say so. I think Potra is another really interesting candidate, but it almost feels like now the Bruins don’t have to be more cautious, but I think they want to like bring him into camp and see just what to expect from a guy like Patcha, right? Like as you said earlier in this episode, like they probably pushed him way too early, right? like he probably could have used a lot more of a a slow and steady approach to his development. So, I think Marco Sturman, the Bruins, should bring Potra in, see what he can do, see how he produces in in uh the preseason. If he lights it up like we saw two years ago, maybe that changes the approach, right? But I think if you’re looking like everyone’s starting from scratch, everyone’s starting from the same level, you’re just trying to find which of the younger players is the safest bet to, you know, take that 3C spot, I think there’s a lot to like about what a guy like Minton can provide. And even if like let’s say he he starts the year in Boston Minton and the offensive numbers aren’t anything crazy, he plays 70 plus games and he’s got 21 points. Like I still think that’s a guy that um is going to grow more offensively, right? Like as long as he’s playing every day, he’s, you know, winning faceoffs, doing the little things that is going to ingratiate himself and build trust with Marco Sturman and the coaching staff. I think that’s the important thing. And then you let the offense go from there. Like I to what Mitchon said, I’m I’m not expecting a 30 goal, 60 point season from him. I’m not expecting 20 goals, but I I think as long as he can carve out that role and take that starting spot at some point this season, the offense will come. And I think if it ends up being 35 45 points and he is kind of like what you expected from Charlie Coyle, I know he had that 160 point year, but I think we all saw that was an outlier. But, you know, I think when Coyle was here and was, you know, playing at his best level, even though it would be like that 45 point range, you saw his impact beyond just the points, right? You saw like how important he was winning matchups, you know, driving play on the third line, getting his linemates involved, and you could see where his value really was as kind of a Swiss Army knife on that on that Bruins roster. And I think Minton can kind of be that role. Yeah, can chip in five on five, but can play a key role in the PK, can play a lot of minutes, can be in put in a lot of spots by Sturm and the coaching staff to um execute with whatever they really need. So, I I really do like what Minton could be for this team, especially in the future, but I think right now he can make some sort of an impact. Yeah, I I absolutely I I completely agree. Uh one thing that Mitten should do if he ends up staying in Boston, he’s got to download the Game Time app. Oh my god, Frraasier, download the Game Time app cuz Game Time is back and they couldn’t have come back at a better time.

It begins next week. I know um a lot of NHL guys have already been skating consistently. They had captain’s practices last week, but it begins. Now, we have something to go off of, which is chef’s kiss. Very fun. What’s your We’re going to get into a couple story lines here, but what’s your number one thing? Like, what’s the thing that when I say storylines in camp, it pops into your head? What is it? Yeah, I would say Evan, my my number one story line isn’t like looking at one part of the the roster or what line combination or anything like that. I think it’s maybe more overarching of what identity Micro Strerm wants to to build with this team, right? And um I think as much as you can look at other previous training camps, you’ve seen instances where you can kind of tell right away like what the tone is going to be or what type of team a coach is trying to mold his group into. Like when Clo Julian gets fired and they bring in Bruce Cassidy after years of Clo system which was winning hockey but not the most riveting product on the ice like Cassidy had them flying around. they were peppering the net and you kind of saw that right from the first training camp from first practice rather of like wow that he’s overhauling the system and then I think you kind of noticed from like when Montgomery was there like their approach offensively you even kind of noticed it of like the drills they were having the way they were playing in camp of what they were trying to build with kind of a new system in place and again like I think Marco Sturm has mentioned it time and time again that he’s done like talking about like what he wants to do he wants to kind of just implement it on the ice and so from what we’ve heard from him in the past, right? It’s all about um effort, putting pucks on net, kind of changing their approach offensively, making some tweaks defensively as well. So, I think it’s all about kind of just what you’re going to see from the first couple days of camp of the effort level, um their offensive approach, what they’re trying to do. Um and I I I think that’s what it is going to come down to. We we’ve m we’ve mapped out what this team has to do to be a competitive group, right? the defense has to rebound, Jeremy Swayman, the power play, all that sort of stuff. But also like what kind of lift can Marco Sturm and the coaching staff provide, right? Where they clearly look at this team and see that changes have to be made with their systems. How do you go about doing that? And what are we going to see right from the get-go? because I think you’re going to see a lot more of a a changed approach in terms of the offensive like I think an emphasis on the forcheing shot volume’s going to go up, but where are the tweaks are they going to be that I think we can glean pretty early on during training camp. It’s funny. I remember an interview uh Sturm did with the uh with Chicklets and he mentioned something along the lines of like everybody’s trying to copy the Panthers. H I don’t know. Like I obviously yes, but I think they kind of have a I think that might be the direction they’re trying to head in. At least if you look at those free agent signings and I think when you mentioned like forchecking and getting on top of teams and being super physical that that’s Florida. So I agree. I think that’s his top story line. Mine is sort of in the line along the lines of what we talked about earlier. Who breaks out? Who are the prospects that rise? And how do how do how much I mean obviously they’re get a lot of playing time in scrimmages and and preseason games. No question. But how do they earn Sterm’s trust in those first few weeks of camps camp? How good are they? Uh, how good are they in drills? How about in those battle drills? Does Matt Patra get pushed around in one-on- ones? How is Mitten offensively? Those types of things. Lmelis, Lysel, how is Fabian Lysel throughout this camp? Is there a chance that you could pencil him in into the top top nine wing spot or is he back in Providence? So, like to me, it’s those prospects who emerges and they’ve mentioned this so many times and we always doubt them. Do any prospects outplay veteran guys? Like does I just I’m curious if that happens because coaches always say that and we’re like, “Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it.” And I still feel that way. But does that happen? Does Matt Pot, you know, does does Potra bump someone? Um, you know, does Luxmell bump someone? Um, you think about like people have mentioned this before, like does someone bump like Victor Arvdson potentially out of the top six? So, like to me, that’s what I’m watching. It’s the younger guys. It makes sense given my job as editor of New Hockey show. I’m used to watching younger players. So, I guess that falls in line, but I do think that’s the most interesting thing with this team. Can anybody come out of that? And has anyone gotten so much better or is kind of coming into their own over the offseason that they are better than we previously anticipated uh and make a bigger lineup impact than we thought? Yeah, absolutely. because I I think when we’ve mapped out what this team needs to do to to get back to being competitive team with the defense, the goalending, the power play, all that stuff and I would I probably put power play as another thing to keep tabs on of just how they maybe switch some stuff around there with Steve spot coaching the man advantage now. But what is going to add more variance, maybe raise their ceiling is going to be, yeah, if any of these younger guys can step into these roles and can succeed. Can the Magic Genie wish uh 18 goals from Matte Bluml, right? Can he be a guy that sticks right away? Can you know, can someone like uh Lash Melis make a push or Potra or Fraser Minton or someone like that? So, if one of those other guys really surprises and looks like an an actual NHL right out of the gate, I’m not saying that’s going to like be the one thing like like Blue Milling is not going to I think be the the key factor in this team making the playoffs. But as you’re the Bruins and you’re trying to find ways to um build this core back up and you know fill this roster with guys that are going to be here for the long haul. I think this year kind of like last year with finding out that Morgan Geek is a key piece for this team. You got to find the other guys you can put in as the ancillary secondary options behind the usual suspects. The PostNox, Makavoys, Lindol, Swayman’s, all those types of guys. Let’s see who else can really kind of step up. I think we’ll be able to first get our first uh glimpse of that once training camp starts. Once it starts. I can’t wait. I’m excited. Connor, uh what can the people look forward to from you over at the globe andboston.com? Yeah, you can read my stuff over at the globe andboston.com.
