With the Boston Bruins finishing their season early this year, Don Sweeney has a tough decision to make with a top free agent entering the off-season.

Last off-season, the Boston Bruins went out and signed Cole Koepke to a one-year, two-way contract. After signing him, the Bruins wanted to use him as a player for call ups when players ended up getting injured.
Koepke ended up impressing the Boston Bruins during pre-season, and he would go on to play on the roster for the entire season. He ended up setting some career highs with 10 goals, 7 assists, and 17 points, along with 177 hits in 73 games this season.
After originally being drafted in the sixth-round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, Koepke showed the Bruins and every team around the league he could be a useful 4th line player.

Bruins have a big decision to make

Entering the off-season, Koepke is now set to hit the unrestricted free agent market, and will definitely be in for a raise after signing a $775,000 contract with the Burins, and Boston will have to make the decision to either re-sign him or let him walk.
He ended up fitting in extremly well on the fourth line, finding some good chemistry with Mark Kastelic this season, and it would not be surprising if the Bruins opted to re-sign him.
It also wouldn't be surprising to see them let him walk in free agency and give a younger player in the organization a chance on the roster.
This off-season is set to be a busy one for the Boston Bruins. They are going to have plenty of cap space, and will also be looking for a new head coach after firing Jim Montgomery early into the season.
The Bruins did already confirm that a new head coach will be coming in, but they did not rule out the possibility of Sacco taking over the permeant role.
