Bedard: Thoughts on the Patriots' slow start to the free agency period

Some thoughts on the Patriots' slow start to free agency, what might be coming, and updated like/don't like lists while contemplating if the team will hold this year's free agency press conference in a broom closet (I kid).

NHL Notes: Bruins players appreciate 'trust' in current group

The Bruins players went out and played arguably their best game since the Olympic break after the NHL trade deadline had come and done, and perhaps that wasn’t a coincidence for the Black and Gold. There was no big additions to a group that’s already played their way into a wild card playoff spot this season, but there were also no subtractions to a group of players that have shown character, resilience and toughness that wasn’t there a year ago. It didn't mean that the Bruins didn't try to make moves, of course, as they finished as the runner-ups for the services of Rasmus Andersson prior to the Olympic break, and they were definitely in the running for forward Connor Garland before he ended up getting moved to a Columbus Blue Jackets team chasing them in the standings.

Haggerty: Bruins make the right call passing at deadline

The Bruins promised to be uncharacteristically cautious headed into the NHL trade deadline, and they lived up to that with an eerily quiet Friday as most of the rest of the league was conducting a flurry of business. The B’s were obviously heavy into the trade talks for defenseman Rasmus Andersson prior to the Olympic break only to watch the Vegas Golden Knights complete the deal, but that willingness to wheel and deal changed coming out of the Olympic break. Some if it was perhaps the way the Bruins have not been able to generate the same high level of play that they did prior to the Olympics, but another major aspect of the inactive trade deadline was the seller’s market where prices were exceedingly high to make a trade.
