Things have gotten relatively quiet around the NHL now that the initial wave of free agent signings has come and gone. The Bruins never got involved in those bidding wars this year, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of questions about what the club has, and has not, done so far this offseason. I've tried to hit upon as many of those topics as possible in the latest edition of the Bruins Mailbag. As always, I'd like to thank all the readers who sent in questions and apologize in advance if I wasn't able to get to yours. Please...

Zdeno Chara rocks out with Slovak band

Who knew Zdeno Chara was an axe man? There are very few things the Bruins captain can't do on the ice, and off the ice he looks to be something of a renaissance man as well. His skills even extend to music as well. The B's blue liner did a little jamming recently at a Slovakian awards show where he was also named Slovakia's top defenseman. As Puck Daddy reports, Chara...

Boston Bruins Sign Son Of Hanson Brother From The Movie Slap Shot

The Brothers, Hanson CSNNE: The Bruins have signed a veteran forward to help their front-line depth, but it’s not a name anybody might have been expecting. The Bruins now have some good size and grittiness depth and will boast all the “Slap Shot” stories they can entertain during training camp as they’ve signed former University of Notre Dame forward Christian Hanson. Hanson...

Tyler Seguin, Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton Expected to Lead Offensive Charge for Bruins

The Bruins have remained quiet this offseason, making the decision to stick with their current roster. With no offseason deals being struck, Bruins fans are turning their thoughts to the upcoming campaign. Tyler Seguin led the Bruins offense last year and is expected to lead the charge again this season. Meanwhile, Milan Lucic has the potential to grow into a perennial 30-goal scorer...

Niklas Svedberg Ready for Challenges of North American Game As Swedish Goalie Prospect Joins Bruins System

With Tim Thomas' shocking decision to sit out the season, Tuukka Rask's new contract and the selection of Malcolm Subban in the first round, there's been no shortage of goalie news this offseason for the Bruins. Lost amid all of that has been another development on the netminding front that could pay off nicely in the coming years. The Bruins also signed Swedish goaltender...

Bruins Need Another Goal Scorer

                      Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton were the Bruin’s first line scorers in 2011. Ever since Claude Julien became the coach of the Boston Bruins in 2007 the Bruins have been a defense first hockey team, and that is fine, but you do need to score goals to win the game.  The Bruins used to be awful offensively, but in the past three years that has changed...

Bruins Haven't Made Big Splash This Offseason, But B's Can Still Be Happy With Smaller Moves

The Bruins haven't had made a handful of small moves this offseason, but they haven't made a big splash at any point, at least not yet. It's probably unlikely that the B's will make any big moves between now and training camp, but even with teams around the leagues wheeling and dealing and making blockbuster moves, Boston likely feels good where they are right now...

Boston Bruins Not Likely To Trade For Rick Nash

Although the Boston Bruins are on the approved list of teams that Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash would accept a trade to, do not expect the 2011 Stanley Cup champions to make a push for the talented winger. Nash would love to play for the Bruins next season and beyond. He would be an instant upgrade to Boston’s offense, especially on their anemic power play...

Bruins Could Dangle Tim Thomas in Effort to Land Rick Nash (Video)

The Bruins would love to acquire Rick Nash from the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old forward wouldn't mind going to Boston either, as the Bruins were one of six teams on Nash's preferred trade list. The problem facing the Bruins -- as well as the Red Wings, Rangers, Flyers, Penguins and Sharks, who are the other five teams on the list -- is that Blue Jackets general...

Bruins made a play for Parise

The Boston Bruins' offseason of ho-hum continued with the club signing some extra pieces and apparently ready to hit the 2012-13 season with basically the same roster as the one that left the 2012 playoffs in the first round. Oh, and word got out that Boston made an offer to free agent Zach Parise before he signed his 13-year contract to leave the New Jersey Devils and join...

Calm Before the Storm

Besides a few, rather small signings there hasn't been much news for the Bruins this off-season. Could this be a sign of something big to happen? As mentioned in my previous posts the Bruins need that scoring punch. They need that guy who can consistently put the puck in the net. Rumors have it that we are still in the Rick Nash hunt, but in my opinion Nash isn't worth...
