The Hockey News breaks down the Bruins’ roster, spotlighting which players could become surprise stars, which veterans might finally hit their stride, and who could disappoint after a high‑priced contract. Among the “sleepers,” a young forward with a strong AHL pedigree is projected to earn a regular top‑six role, while a veteran defenseman returning from injury is flagged as a potential breakout candidate if he stays healthy. Conversely, the column warns that a high‑salary winger who struggled last season may be a bust if his production doesn’t rebound, and a recent free‑agent signing could prove costly if he fails to adapt to Boston’s system. The analysis offers a roadmap for fantasy managers and casual fans alike, weighing each player’s upside against the Bruins’ evolving lineup and the team’s playoff aspirations.
