The Boston Bruins acquired JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth on June 26, trading the No. 23 overall pick in the 2026 draft and a top-10 protected 2028 first-round pick from the Florida Panthers. Peterka, a 24-year-old forward, had a productive season last year, scoring 25 goals and adding 22 assists.
