Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney to kick two players to the curb: A contract must be signed today
Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney may be kicking another two prospects to the curb if they do not agree on a contract today.
Throughout the off-season, the Boston Bruins have been busy, but have also lost quite a bit of prospects.
Don Sweeney ended up kicking 7 prospects to the curb right before free agency began on June 30th.
The list of players are Drew Bavaro, Trevor Kuntar, Jakub Lauko, Daniil Misyul, Ian Mitchell, Jaxon Nelson, and Oilver Wahlstrom.
Don Sweeney did not offer any of these players qualifying offers, meaning they became free agents.
