I spoke to Phil Kessel’s agent, Wade Arnott...

After a few thrilling days full of movement at the beginning, teams began to slow down drastically in the final weeks of July.

Clawing their way in

During the first two years of Claude Julien’s stewardship of the bench, the Bruins have been receptive to bringing young players onto the roster.
