Bruins' David Pastrnak Did Something Special This Season
Overall, it was nothing short of an excellent season for Pastrnak, and he did something truly special because of it. This was the third year in a row that Pastrnak recorded at least 100 points, which is a significant accomplishment.
Not too many NHL players reach 100 points in a single season, so Pastrnak successfully doing so in three consecutive years is incredibly impressive. It only demonstrates just how dominant a player he has been for the Bruins. Pastrnak hitting the 100-point mark this season was especially impressive in 2024-25, though, as the Bruins did not have too many impactful offensive contributors around him.
In addition to recording 100 points for the third straight season in a row, Pastrnak has now also scored at least 40 goals in four straight seasons. Furthermore, the 2024-25 season was the second year in a row where he had 63 assists. Thus, he certainly has been making an impact with his playmaking skills, too.
It will now be interesting to see if Pastrnak can record 100 points for the fourth straight year next season from here. Given how dominant he continues to play, it is hard to bet against him doing so.
5 Bruins Entering Final Year Of Contract The
Boston Bruins have several players who are entering the final year of their contracts. With this, the Original Six club will certainly have some big decisions to make about who they are planning to keep around beyond the 2025-26 season.

Tennessee Titans' Cam Ward, 'We gotta be ready to play from day 1'
Throughout the offseason and now continuing into training camp, it has become clear that Cam Ward is the future of the Tennessee Titans. Known for his leadership qualities and work ethic on top of his athletic prowess, Ward has been everything and more than what the Tennessee Titans expected when they selected him with the first overall pick in April. Ward has come into Nashville and won over both the locker room and the organization with his infectious attitude. This isn't just coming from the local media or those that cover the Titans on a daily basis; it has become clear to national NFL insiders as well, with the latest being Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network. As Jeremiah points out, Ward gets into the facility early, before the coaching staff. While this isn't anything new, as it was reported back in June during minicamp, some new details on how this film will work did come out during an interview with Ward for the network. Ward is not alone in his extra work at 5:30. He is usually joined by a group of receivers led by Calvin Ridley, which includes Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Xavier Restrepo, in an attempt to play his best football and have the offense on track early in the season. With Ward and his group of young receivers putting in the extra work, it is easy to see why they have been one of the more exciting units to watch early in training camp. The interview also highlights the increased leadership role Ridley is assuming this offseason, a trend that has been emerging more frequently during player interviews. That dedication bodes well for the Titans' offense, which is looking to surprise teams in 2025.

Minkah Fitzpatrick gets a $16.245 million signing bonus in his restructured Dolphins deal
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins agreed Sunday to a restructured contract that adds a $16.245 million signing bonus to the All-Pro safety's deal. Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the restructured deal, which was first reported by ESPN. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Steelers last month that sent All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. Fitzpatrick, who became one of the top safeties in the NFL with the Steelers, returned to the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2018 and traded him away at his request in 2019. There previously was no guaranteed money left on Fitzpatrick's contract that runs through 2026. No years were added, but Rosenhaus said they're seeking a multiyear extension. The Dolphins cleared $11 million in cap space in the restructured deal by converting part of Fitzpatrick's salary to a bonus, according to NFL Network. Fitzpatrick had $2 million of his 2026 salary moved up to this coming season. He is now due $17.5 million in 2025 and $15.6 million in 2026. Fitzpatrick had signed a four-year extension with the Steelers in 2022 that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL at the time and gave him $36 million in guarantees. ___ AP NFL: Alanis Thames, The Associated Press
