Off-season Edit

At the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles, California Boston selected Tyler Seguin with their first-round pick, 2nd overall.^[1] A week earlier, on June 16, 2010, Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs and Principal Charlie Jacobs announced that Cam Neely had been named President of the Boston Bruins.^[2] Neely, a former player and 2005 Hall of Fame inductee, became the eighth president in club history.

The Bruins sought to "tweak the composition"^[3] during the off-season, trading puck-moving defenseman Dennis Wideman to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a perennial 20-goal scorer in Nathan Horton.^[4]

The Reading Royals, Boston's affiliate within the East Coast Hockey League renewed their relationship during the off-season.^[5] This marked the second year the organizations shared affiliation, with the Royals playing host to several Bruins prospects including goaltender Matt Dalton and defenseman Rob Kwiet.

Pre-seasonEdit

On June 21, 2010, the Bruins announced their seven-game pre-season schedule.^[6] Closing out the schedule are two exhibition matches; the first is in Belfast, Northern Ireland, against the Belfast Giants Select, a unified team composed of an All-Star selection of the best EIHL players from each team. The Bruins then face off against HC Liberec of the Czech Extraliga in their final pre-season match.

Regular season Edit

As part of the 2010 Compuware NHL Premiere Games, the Bruins will begin their season on Saturday, October 9, playing against the Phoenix Coyotes at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.^[7]

PlayoffsEdit

The Boston Bruins will attempt to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 4th consecutive season.
