Less than a week before the Bulls gather in Nashville, Tenn., for training camp, DeMar DeRozan reiterated his commitment to remain in Chicago — potentially for the rest of his career.In an interview with Sportskeeda’s Mark Medina this week, DeRozan said he hopes to retire as a Bull.“That’s a place I want to be and end my career,” DeRozan said. “I want to be able to accomplish everything I’ve set out to accomplish. That’s all I can worry about and control. I have the utmost confidence in myself.“I’ll let my agent and the organization deal with that side of things, to be honest, man. From their standpoint, they want me to be there long term and vice versa. We’ll see what happens from there.”This season marks a critical turning point for the Bulls and DeRozan, who is in the third and final year of his initial $82 million contract. Once that contract expires, DeRozan will be eligible for a four-year exte...

Confident Pavel Zacha in the middle of it all for the Bruins

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:35 GMT

As everyone in the Bruins’ dressing room will tell you, there is no replacing Patrice Bergeron. He won six Selke Awards, a Stanley Cup and became a Black-and-Gold institution in his decades in uniform.But in reality, someone will have to take Bergeron’s place on the ice. And it appears Pavel Zacha will get every opportunity to take over as much of Bergeron’s work load that he can handle.On Tuesday in training camp, Zacha assumed the Bergeron role on the top power play, bringing his left shot to the bumper position. And on Wednesday, he was centering Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, a slot Bergeron successfully occupied for years. Expect Zacha to do his share of penalty killing as well.Now mind you, lines can change often in September – and coach Jim Montgomery sounded like he was still very much in the tinkering phase. But it’s clear the B’s are going to ask a lot of Zacha this year. And just a week into training camp, he looks and sounds much differen...
