Patrice Bergeron shares advice for Roman Anthony to have successful MLB career
Patrice Bergeron was just 18 years old when he made his NHL debut for the Boston Bruins. So he had a sense of how 21-year-old Romany Anthony was feeling ahead of his MLB debut with the Boston Red Sox. Bergeron went on to become a centerpiece for the Bruins over two decades. The future Hall of Fame center won a record six Selke Trophy's in his career, a Stanley Cup in 2011 and captained Boston for three seasons while being a respected player throughout the NHL. Advertisement He did that by listening those around him, and he offered up that same advice to Anthony. 'Soak everything up as much as you can,' Bergeron said on NESN's 'Unobstructed Views' on Monday. 'You gotta make sure you're listening to your veterans, listening to your coaches and really trying to pick (up) as much information you can on the fly.' Bergeron noted he was willing to not only ask questions during his early years, but also listen to what he was being told because he wanted to get better and knew he had so much to learn. 'Trust others, trust teammates and coaches that they're there for you," Bergeron said. 'There's always room to grow. If you wanna improve fast and quickly, I think it's making sure you're able to be very coachable.' Advertisement Anthony is MLB's youngest player (21 years, 27 days) and made his big-league debut Monday night after being called up by Boston hours before first pitch. Even at his young age, WooSox manager Chad Tracy praised Anthony's maturity and how he handles everything with grace — which should provide Red Sox fans optimism that he'll have no problem listening to Bergeron's advice. 'I thoroughly enjoy sitting in that chair and watching him play baseball. Watching him navigate all the extra extracurricular that is around him is equally as enjoyable because there's so much surrounding him,' Tracy told MassLive's Matt Vautour. "It's fairly impressive to watch a guy at his age be able to do that. ... He's as equipped for it psychologically as anybody I've ever been around, and at his age, that is not common.'

Could Bruins trade first-round pick?
BOSTON — For the first time in Don Sweeney's tenure, the Bruins own a Top 10 selection in the NHL Entry Draft. Boston is slated to pick No. 7 overall, their highest draft choice since drafting Tyler Seguin (No. 2) in 2010. Advertisement However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll stay there. During Marco Sturm's introductory press conference on Tuesday morning, Sweeney left the possibility of a trade wide open. 'We've been an aggressive organization, whether or not you want to point out fault in regard to trying to win and accomplish the ultimate goal. That's what we're here for,' Sweeney said. 'So we will use the draft capital and try and improve our hockey club this year and moving forward in every capacity possible. It might be making the selection, but it won't mean that we aren't having conversations that say, 'How do we improve our hockey club today and moving forward.'' Sweeney's trade deadline fire sale has Boston's draft arsenal well stocked. In addition to No. 7 overall, the Bruins have an extra second-round pick this year, an extra first-round pick in 2026, and another future first-rounder in either 2027 or 2028. Advertisement Here's how Boston's draft picks look in the next three drafts: 2025 1st round (BOS) 2nd round (STL) Trent Frederic trade 2nd round (CAR) Charlie Coyle trade 3rd round (BOS) 4th round (PHI) Brandon Carlo trade 5th round (BOS) 6th round (BOS) 7th round (BOS) 2026 1st round (BOS) 1st round (TOR) Brandon Carlo trade 2nd round (BOS) 3rd round (BOS) 4th round (BOS) 6th round (BOS) 7th round (BOS) 2027 1st round (BOS) 1st round (FLA*) Brad Marchand trade *Top 10 protected, can also become 2028 1st if Florida trades 2026 1st ahead of 2025 NHL Draft 2nd round (BOS) 4th round (BOS) 5th round (BOS) 6th round (BOS) 7th round (BOS) More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.

Former BU defenseman, Canadiens rising star wins NHL's Calder Trophy
Lane Hutson's strong rookie season was rewarded on Tuesday. The Montreal Canadiens defenseman was surprised with the Calder Memorial Trophy by his family as the NHL's rookie of the year. The trophy is given annually 'to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition." Advertisement Hutson finished the 2024-25 campaign with six goals and 60 assists — which tied Larry Murphy — who tallied 60 during the 1980-81 season — for the most helpers by a defenseman in his rookie year. The 66 points were only behind Brian Leetch (71) and Gary Suter (68). Before being drafted by Montreal in the second round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Hutson spent two seasons at Boston University. The blueliner is a two-time First Team All-American, two-time Hockey East First Team All-Star and was selected as New England's top defenseman in both his seasons with the Terriers. In 77 games at BU, Hutson led all active NCAA defenseman with 97 points (30 goals, 67 assists). Huston received 165 of a possible 191 first-place votes. Fellow former BU alum and San Jose Sharks center finished third in the voting. More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.
