The reason is opportunity. The Panthers let Rico Dowdle, their leading rusher, leave for Pittsburgh, and [...]

2026 BSH Community Draft Board, No. 19: J.P. Hurlbert is an interesting case study

It’s been a pretty natural connection to make between 21-year-old rookie center Fraser Minten and one of the most beloved players in Boston Bruins history. Nobody throws around comparisons to Patrice Bergeron lightly, but Minten showed a lot of Bergy-like qualities while posting 17 goals and 35 points along with a plus-21 in playing 82 games for the Black and Gold this past season.
