Should the Boston Bruins look into signing defensemen P.K. Subban or Keith Yandle to professional tryouts if they remain unsigned?

That and more in the latest BHN Bruins Wrap:

Boston Bruins

With their lack of experience on the blue line for the first 1-2 months of the 2022-23 NHL regular season, would it make sense for the Boston Bruins to at least give a veteran defenseman like Milton, MA native Keith Yandle or P.K. Subban a professional tryout?

Note to Boston Bruins fans immediately shooting this idea down because of their hate for Subban or thoughts on the player and due to salary cap concerns, a PTO doesn’t cost NHL teams anything against the cap. 

PGH: The Pittsburgh Penguins signed two-time Stanley Cup champion head coach, former Boston Bruins head coach, and Marshfield, MA native Mike Sullivan to a three-year extension. Some could say this was a surprise since Sullivan’s contract was set to expire at the end of the 2023-24 season, but Sullivan is now locked in through the conclusion of the 2026-27 season.
