Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald: Guessing that the Bruins will protect defenseman Kevan Miller therefore exposing Adam McQuaid and Colin Miller. The Bruins are still stocked on the right side so they can afford to lose one of those two.
Shedding Matt Beleskey‘s $3.8 million cap hit for another three season may be on the minds of Bruins management. They may not want Beleskey blocking some of their left wing prospects in Jake DeBrusk, Peter Cehlarik, Danton Heinen, Anders Bjork and Frank Vatrano.
