The Bruins world is abuzz with rumor about the new head coach!
Welcome aboard, everybody!
The Draft Profiles are taking a week off, as I’m under a new schedule and need time to adjust to that while also writing about prospects. But that’s not important (yet), there’s significant movement suggesting that Marco Sturm will be the next head coach of the Boston Bruins; first reported by a EliteProspects.com’s Cam Robinson:

Personally? I like the hire if it’s true!
The Reign are usually pretty good, and so was Germany under his watch, but a big part of why remains talent. Sturm is a good starting point, but he needs help on the ice. As fun as it is to reminisce about his own heroic efforts in this city, he can’t take to the field of play at his age the next step must be talent. It must be a center in this draft (at least in my opinion), and it must be at least one major improvement at every forward position. We can find out whether or not Mason Lohrei warrants improvement upon once the season begins.
Also! Game 5 of Carolina/Florida is today! Given how boring the conference finals have been, it’d be REAAAAAL nice if the Canes could get their act together enough to make this series mildly competitive. The West series is starting to feel like it’s over in ways that we’ve never seen.
What’s on tap?
