Now, an intriguing former first-round pick has entered the rumor mill as a trade candidate: New York Rangers prospect Brennan Othmann. With the Bruins needing more young players with good upside, they should seriously consider pursuing Othmann.

BOSTON –– The Boston Bruins are looking to build off the winning momentum as they host the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night at TD Garden. Head coach Marco Sturm experimented with some new lines in the latter half of Tuesday’s game against the New York Islanders and is sticking with the fresh look.

Zdeno Chara is back with the Boston Bruins, though he won't be lacing up his skates and delivering any heavy hits on the ice. Instead, Chara is looking to make his impact on the front office and in the dressing room as an advisor and mentor for the club.

With the way things have been going lately for the Bruins, they should not be afraid to call up one of their players from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins. When looking at Providence's roster, one clear call-up candidate who should be considered is 2021 first-round pick Fabian Lysell.

The Boston Bruins enter the 2025-26 season in the midst of a rebuild and a roster filled with a superstar, a few good veterans, and a mix of younger players trying to capture a spot in training camp.

“When noting that Othmann is a young, skilled forward who also plays with some bite, he could be a very intriguing addition to the Bruins’ system,” he wrote. “This sort of trade could be worth a flier for Boston early in the 2025–26 season.”

The Boston Bruins kick off their 2025-26 regular season against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 8. Due to this, they have now confirmed who their third alternate captain will be for the 2025-26 campaign.
