  2. Mailbag questions: Do you think the Bruins will have Hagens, Letourneau, Gasseau, Zellers or any others prospects play this season for any meaningful time? If they drop out playoff contention (or even if they don't), will they be sellers at the deadline? If so, who is likely to be traded? What would you all think about a line (3rd line next year?) with Poitras at center with Hagens and Letourneau on the wings? It would be like having 3 centers on one line, but with all of them being able to cover for each other anywhere on the ice.

  5. Question: Would you guys trade Swayman to Edmonton for Bouchard ($8+M vs $10+M)? I still think Swayman gives up too many soft goals this season, last chance to get rid of the no trade/movement starting next year, never like that contract.
