Connor Ryan and Ty break down a jam-packed stretch of Bruins news, starting with the signing of JJ Peterka and whether it's the right price for the production they're hoping to get. They dig into the draft results — a defense-light, goalie-heavy class that leaves some fans wanting more on the back end — and have a long, honest conversation about what went wrong in Fabian Lysell's development before his trade to Colorado.
