In the latest episode of the “Pucks with Haggs” podcast, Joe Haggerty answers fan questions about the Boston Bruins’ future and potential new additions to the team. One key topic discussed is the potential of forward Georgii Merkulov fitting into the Bruins’ second line.
Merkulov has limited NHL experience, having played only four games, and is expected to transition from left wing and center to right wing.
Haggerty suggests that Merkulov could be tested in the right wing position during preseason, possibly alongside Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle.
Haggerty also notes that Bruins GM Don Sweeney has mentioned Merkulov among other offensive prospects, which is an encouraging sign for the 23-year-old’s prospects.
The podcast provides insights into the team’s lineup decisions and the potential role Merkulov could play in the upcoming season.
