Out of all announced numbers, Zadorov has the most notable as he is the second player in the franchise to where the number 91. The last player to hold this number was former Bruins star forward Marc Savard who has now become an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

During the initial reveal, Zadorov made a quick joke when realizing he had taken Savard's number without asking him. He also explained that he took the number because it's an upside down 16 which was the number he has had since His early days of playing hockey.

With the numbers locked in, there is still one major piece of business remaining for the Bruins as fans await the pending signing of Bruins starting goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
