The Boston Bruins are currently getting ready for the Stanley Cup Finals and waiting to see who their opponent is. 

The St. Louis Blues have the opportunity to eliminate the San Jose Sharks tonight during Game 6 as the Blues currently lead the series 3-2. 
In the meantime one Bruins' forward and general manager Don Sweeney announced he won't be back next year. 
Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson has told the team he'll be headed back to Sweden next year and will sign with the Vaxjo Lakers. 
"We support his decision to be closer to his family at this time in his life." Sweeney told reporters. 

The forward took a small break during the season to head back to Europe and take care of some personal matters. 
Forsbacka-Karlsson registered nine points in 28 games for the Bruins this year and 16 points in 28 games for the Providence Bruins and was set to become a restricted free agent this summer.
