Three players that must step up with Bergeron being gone
With the retirement of Patrice Bergeron, the Boston Bruins are left with a significant void to fill at center. Cam Neely, the President of hockey operations, recognizes the importance of the task, affirming,
Trade rumors are swirling, but if a deal isn't secured, the Bruins will turn to their prospect pool.
One promising prospect is Matthew Poitras, drafted in 2022. Standing at 5-foot-11, Poitras has demonstrated exceptional playmaking skills in the Ontario Hockey League, earning himself a three-year entry-level contract with the Bruins.
Another hopeful talent is Brett Harrison, a 6-foot-2 forward drafted in 2021. Growing up idolizing Bergeron, the Bruins have high hopes for Harrison's development as a reliable player.
Additionally, Georgii Merkulov, signed as a free agent, led the Providence Bruins in offense and has the potential to earn a spot on Boston's roster.
While it's clear that none of these prospects can entirely replace Bergeron, they offer a glimpse of hope for the Bruins' competitive future.
