Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney Set To Take Advantage Of The New York Rangers

After trading away a lot of key forwards like Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, and Trent Frederic during the NHL trade deadline, Don Sweeney is going to have to bolster his forward groip entering the 2025-26 season.

A lot of big named unrestricted free agents are set to hit the market including some the Bruins have been linked to in Sam Bennett, Mitch Marner, Brocke Boeser and Nikolaj Ehlers.

Some of those players do not make much sense for the Boston Bruins, and that's why Sweeney may turn his attention to restricted free agents and possibly offer sheet them.

One big RFA that stands out to the Boston Bruins is easily New York Rangers forward Will Cuylle.

The 23-year-old is the ideal power forward that the Boston Bruins should make a serious push to acquire. He is 6-foot-4 and has all the tools and skills to be a solid top-six forward in the NHL.

Cuylle loves to throw the body, but he also proved last season that he can make an impact offensively when he scored 20 goals, and picked up 25 assists for 45 points in 82 games in just his second season in the NHL.

It doesn't seem like the Bruins are going to change their first-line with how much chemistry they developed towards the end of the year, but Cuylle would be a perfect on the Bruins second line, and a nice addition to the power play.

With having a lot of cap space this off-season, and multiple holes they need to fill, Cuylle seems like the perfect player.

The New York Rangers also have very little cap space this off-season, making it easy for the Bruins to take advantage of them.
