Meet the Dark Horse Prospect Catching the Bruins' Eye

Names like James van Riemsdyk, Milan Lucic, Patrick Brown, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Jesper Boqvist stand out with valuable NHL experience at a reasonable cap hit.

Amidst uncertainties, they're also focused on grooming young prospects like Georgii Merkulov, a standout forward in Providence Bruins.

Merkulov's rapid development makes him a promising asset, and there's genuine excitement about his chance to join the NHL in the 2023-24 season.

Although the team prefers AHL growth, current circumstances may grant him a longer opportunity in training camp.

As the Bruins embrace transition, opportunities for young players like Merkulov play a vital role in their future success.
