The Bruins are not setting any limits on Matthew Poitras during training camp.
The 2022 second-round pick will not turn 20 years old until March 2024. He’s yet to log a game up in the pro ranks, with the COVID-19 pandemic limiting him to just two full seasons in junior hockey.
But Poitras’ relative lack of experience stands in contrast to the impressive stat lines he’s produced since getting drafted, as well as the cerebral, advanced offensive skill set that has allowed his stock to soar over the last year.
And if he’s ready to make a push for the NHL roster this fall, the Bruins are not going to get in his way.
