Jim Montgomery was introduced as the 29th head coach in Boston Bruins history on Monday.
He's hoping to improve team scoring while making the Bruins very hard to play against. He's also very appreciative of the opportunity and excited to get going among the rabod fan base in Boston.
CEO Charlie Jacobs believes a full rebuild would be a tough sell for the fans, and the plan is for the Bruins to be a cap team and compete for the Stanley Cup year in and year out.
Whether that's realistic post-Patrice Bergeron remains to be seen, but it seems as though the captain and perhaps David Krejci will be back for at least one more season, delaying those touch choices.
Don't expect the Bruins to be active in free agency beyond the two veteran centers and a David Pastrnak extension as the roster is pretty much set, barring any trades or buyouts.
Host Ian McLaren breaks this all down on today's episode of Locked on Boston Bruins.
