What Lies Ahead In The 2023-24 Season For The Bruins
The Boston Bruins had a record-breaking regular season in 2022-2023, but their Stanley Cup hopes were shattered in a stunning collapse against the Florida Panthers.
What the future holds for Bergeron and Krejci
The futures of veteran leaders Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci are uncertain. Bergeron, at age 37, continues to perform at a high level, but will discuss with his family whether to prolong his career. Krejci, too, contemplates his next move after spending a significant portion of his career with the Bruins.
Bruins have lots of decisions to make
The composition of the team for the upcoming season is another concern. The Bruins have 12 unrestricted free agents, including key names like
Tyler Bertuzzi and
Nick Foligno. With limited salary cap space and tough financial decisions ahead, General Manager Don Sweeney faces a challenging offseason.
In addition, the goaltending duo of
Linus Ullmark and
Jeremy Swayman played pivotal roles during the regular season. Ullmark's remarkable performance as a Vezina Trophy finalist and Swayman's reliable support contributed to the team's success. However, the Bruins' salary cap situation raises the possibility of Ullmark being traded.
The offseason ahead is filled with uncertainty and change for the Bruins. With tough decisions to make and a limited salary cap, the team must navigate the challenges to improve for the future. Bruins fans eagerly await the outcome of these offseason moves, hoping to see their team rebound from the disappointment of the lost Stanley Cup bid.
