Joe Haggerty opens up the mailbag on this episode of Pucks with Haggs to answer some of the biggest questions surrounding the Bruins as training camp approaches. Joe discusses where David Pastrnak ranks among the NHL’s elite players, whether he should be viewed as a true franchise cornerstone, and what to expect from him moving forward. He also breaks down Boston’s long-term salary cap situation, the value of contracts already on the books, and the decisions looming for players like Pavel Zacha. Plus, Joe examines different approaches to spending on goaltending and why he prefers having a clear No. 1 like Jeremy Swayman. The mailbag continues with potential preseason and early-season trade possibilities, which areas Boston could look to upgrade, and expectations for top prospect James Hagens.
