Bruins trade for JJ Peterka from Utah Mammoth ahead of new season

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. The Bruins aim to bolster their speed and skill on the wing, with Peterka potentially serving as a key player alongside David Pastrnak. However, concerns arise as Peterka has been traded twice in just over a year, raising questions about his long-term reliability in the league.
