Bruins center Matthew Poitras, a restricted free agent, is seeking a contract after limited play in the 2025-26 season, following a promising start with 26 points in 66 games. While Ville Koivunen secured a lucrative eight-year deal, Kevin Paul Dupont suggests Poitras might opt for a one-year deal with a raise above his AHL salary, although his contract expectations may be higher. Additionally, former NHL player Ben Smith is leaving the Bruins’ development staff for Boston College, while Maple Leafs prospect Tinus Luc Koblar will play in Sweden before joining Toronto’s training camp. UFA winger Jake Chiasson has signed a one-year deal with ECHL New Mexico after being non-tendered by the Canadiens.
