Boston Bruins insider, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, believes that this skilled forward has officially earned a spot on the Boston Bruins' roster.
«Blumel has practiced as the right-side shooter on the No. 2 PP unit,» Shinzawa wrote on Thursday. «He's taken five-on-five shifts with Zacha.

«These are signals the Bruins are comfortable with the ex-Dallas Star breaking camp with the varsity as either the No. 2 left wing or No. 3 right wing,» Shinzawa continued. «One more good preseason appearance could help the 25-year-old wrap up his spot.»

While it is not set in stone whether or not the Boston Bruins will in fact give Blumel a spot on the organization's roster for the upcoming 2025/26 NHL season, it will be confirmed on the Bruins' opening night which will take place on October 8, 2025, against the Washington Capitals.
