Ep 1456Kaprizov Turns Down $128M - Pastrnak’s Deal Looks Even Better
Kirill Kaprizov just rejected an eight-year, $128M contract extension from the Minnesota Wild — the richest deal in NHL history.

Ep 1455NO GUARANTEES: Sweeney’s Standards for Bruins Training Camp
Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney set the tone for the 2025–26 season at the team’s annual golf outing, stressing that nothing will be handed out at training camp — every spot must be earned. He outlined a reset built on better health, stronger defensive structure, and much-needed special teams improvements, while leaning on stars like David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman to lead the charge. Sweeney also left the door open for PTO signings to fuel even more competition, setting the stage for a battle between veterans and prospects. On today’s podcast, Ian McLaren breaks down how this mandate for higher standards could shape camp — with a spotlight on new signing Matej Blümel, the AHL’s leading goal scorer, who could be Boston’s surprise weapon in their quest to rebound.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Ep 1454Special Teams Will Make or Break the Bruins’ Season
Boston’s special teams were a disaster last season — ranking near the bottom of the NHL on both the power play and penalty kill — and it cost them any shot at competing. On today’s Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren breaks down just how badly those struggles hurt the team’s goal differential and standings, and why improvement is non-negotiable in 2025-26.He also examines how new head coach Marco Sturm and assistant coach Steve Spott plan to overhaul the offense and special teams, highlighting how players like David Pastrnak, Elias Lindholm, and Mason Lohrei could be deployed in new roles. Plus, with the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo around the corner, McLaren spotlights Fraser Minten as Boston’s most intriguing young player to watch.It’s a deep dive into what went wrong, what needs to change, and why fixing special teams is the key to a true redemption season for the Bruins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Ep 1453Bruins Risk Leaving Wins on the Table — Just Like They Did With Dryden
The Boston Bruins MUST learn from their past. With Ken Dryden’s passing this weekend, we’re reminded of how Boston once undervalued a young star and handed Montreal the backbone of a dynasty.Now, in 2025–26, Marco Sturm and Don Sweeney face a similar choice: lean on stopgap veterans like Jeannot, Arvidsson, and Kuraly — or trust Mason Lohrei, Fraser Minten, Fabian Lysell, and the next generation.On today’s episode:Why the Kids vs Veterans depth war will define the Bruins’ season.How Don Sweeney’s grit-over-skill philosophy (see: Beleskey, Backes) keeps blocking Boston’s upside.And today’s Bruin of the Day: Ken Dryden — a legend who could have backstopped Boston to multiple Cups in the ’70s.This isn’t just about the past. The Bruins can’t afford to undervalue young talent again, or risk wasting another era of Pastrnak and McAvoy.📲 Subscribe to Locked On Bruins for daily insight, analysis, and honest fan-first perspective on your team.

Plus, Bruin of the Day spotlights Marco Sturm — a familiar face and first-time NHL head coach — tasked with building structure, grit, and buy-in to pull Boston out of last year’s basement finish.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Ep 1449Bruins Will Smash 76.5 Point Projection (Season 7 Premiere)
The Boston Bruins are being disrespected by oddsmakers. FanDuel has set their 2025–26 over/under at 76.5 points — the same total they finished with last year when they were last in the Eastern Conference. In the Season 7 premiere of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren explains why this line is too low and why betting the over is the smart play. On today’s show: Segment 1: Why 76.5 is an insult — the Bruins aren’t the same team that limped through last year. Segment 2: Health, second-year stability for Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, offseason additions like Victor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Matej Blümel, and Alex Steeves, plus internal growth from Morgan Geekie and Marat Khusnutdinov — all reasons Boston’s floor is higher. Add in All-Star goalie Jeremy Swayman, and this isn’t a 76-point roster. Segment 3: Bruin of the Day debuts with the one and only Bobby Orr. Ian shares a personal story about seeing an incredible Orr memorabilia collection, reflects on his complicated legacy, and explains why Orr remains the DNA of the franchise. Boston might be a bubble playoff team in a tough Atlantic Division — Toronto, Florida, and Tampa are strong, and Ottawa and Montreal are pushing up — but 76.5 is still too low.

Ep 14433 Locks, 2 Maybes: Boston Bruins in the Locked On NHL’s Top 100
The Locked On NHL Top 100 list is coming — and if it doesn’t include these Boston Bruins, the rankings are broken. David Pastrnak is a Top 10 player in the league, Charlie McAvoy is a top defenseman, and Jeremy Swayman is (still) one of the NHL’s best goalies. Those three are locks. But what about Hampus Lindholm and Morgan Geekie? Ian McLaren makes the case for why both deserve consideration based on recent performance, impact, and upside — and why leaving them out could be a big mistake. We’ll also compare Boston’s elite talent to other top NHL teams like the Colorado Avalanche, Florida Panthers, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, and Tampa Bay Lightning — clubs that could have 5+ players on the Top 100 list. What does this say about the Bruins’ roster, their ability to contend in the Atlantic Division, and the moves Don Sweeney still needs to make? This is your definitive Bruins ballot for the Locked On NHL Top 100, with in-depth analysis, stats, and context that you won’t get anywhere else.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Ep 1420Tougher, But Better? Breaking Down Bruins’ Free Agency Moves
The Boston Bruins made a flurry of free agent signings on July 1, but did Don Sweeney do enough to improve a roster that finished last in the Eastern Conference?Host Ian McLaren breaks down the front office’s strategy and comments, starting with the addition of Victor Arvidsson and the controversial five-year deal for Tanner Jeannot. In Segment 1, we dig into why these two players were targeted, what Sweeney said about toughness and protection for younger players, and whether these moves align with his offseason pledge to boost scoring.In Segment 2, Ian evaluates the rest of Boston’s free agent signings — including Sean Kuraly, Michael Eyssimont, Matej Blumel, Alex Steeves, Jordan Harris, and Riley Tufte — and how they increase internal competition. Sweeney emphasized “guys who drag others into the fight,” but have these depth additions squeezed out players like Matt Poitras, Fabian Lysell, and Georgii Merkulov?In Segment 3, Ian compares the projected 2025-26 lineup with last year’s Opening Night roster and asks the big question: Are the Bruins actually any better now? With more grit but not a lot more scoring, and prospects still facing a blocked path to NHL minutes, the Bruins may be set for another season of stagnation.Is this another Matt Beleskey or David Backes situation in the making?
