The Boston Bruins have made a major move during the offseason to acquire one of the most desired free agents in the league.

Nikita Zadarov, who exemplifies the "Big Bad Bruin" stereotype we love, as someone who can throw the body, and lay bruising hits. While also being versatile enough to have some offensive upside.

A two-way defenseman, who has helped shore up an already solid defense last season could help keep the Bruins defensive core consistent again.

That's what Frank Seravalli believes about the Bruins this season, as the Bruins have one of the best in the league.

With a top pair of Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, and the rest of the lineup filled out with defensemen like Mason Lohrei, Nikita Zadarov, Brandon Carlo, and Andrew Peeke.

The Bruins are deep defensively and could be one of the top in the lineup, as players like Andrew Peeke, and Mason Lohrei grow into their role steadily.

While Brandon Carlo, Hampus Lindholm, and Charlie McAvoy are in their prime.

Nikita Zadarov played 75 games with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks last season, scoring 20 points( 6 G, 14 A), 102 PIMs, and 124 hits last season.

The Bruins' average height is 189.17 centimeters (6-foot-2), which is just 0.1 centimeters shorter than the Vegas Golden Knights. Boston is the heaviest team with an average weight of 209 pounds, two pounds ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Bruins, Golden Knights and New York Islanders are the only three teams in the top five of both average height and weight.
.

This team shouldn't be a pushover on the ice, as if they ever were before.

"Our back end is big, and they've got some beef to them, which I think bodes well in the playoffs," Bruins president Cam Neely said at a press conference Monday. "I mean, you got to get to the playoffs, but I think we're built a little bit stronger for the playoffs.»
