Out with one and in with the other, I suppose. In Boston Bruins news, the prospect rankings continued yesterday. We covered Nos. 10-6, and now all that’s left is the top five. The Bruins also posted their theme night schedule for the 2026-27 season, and an update on a new Bruin.

They’re back, and some teams in the Eastern Conference are getting ahead of themselves. The Blue Jackets seem to be heading to arbitration with one of their goaltenders, and the Rangers are keeping Jonathan Quick around in a development role.
