"It's crazy walking around. I feel like I'm pretty average size or smaller on our team now," Frederic (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) noted. "I think that's something that stood out to me when I got traded here, is how big and heavy everybody is."
"I'm the smallest D on the team now," McAvoy (6-foot-1, 209 pounds) added after captains practice. The numbers back up the Bruins' musings about the state of their beefed-up blue line and forward corps.
With an average weight of 207 pounds, the Bruins enter training camp as the heaviest team in the NHL - just ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights (205 pounds). Boston is also tied with Vegas for the top average height among NHL rosters at 6-foot-2.
"So, I fall into that category, and it's definitely different not being one of the biggest guys around. I think I feel pretty average here," Mark Kastelic (6-foot-4, 226 pounds) said last week.
