Plus, the guys react to the Bruins' choice to hire former player Marco Sturm as their next head coach, and they discuss whether Sturm will be able to maximize Boston's established veterans (Pastrnak, McAvoy, Swayman, etc.) while also developing their younger players next season.

They also discuss the areas of Drake Maye's game that need to improve the most ahead of the 2025 season.
