SAD NEWS: Boston Bruins Head Coach Jim Montgomery has terminated his employment with the team following a background debate with management over…
It is no secret that this is a huge offseason for the Boston Bruins.
GM Don Sweeney has had this summer circled on his calendar for some time with the amount of cap space he will have at his disposal.
He has some contracts coming off the book and he has some huge decisions on some players, to say the least, for the 2024-25 season.
Just who stays, who goes, and who comes in from outside the organization remains to be seen as it’s going to be a fascinating month and a half until free agency starts.
With limited cap space last summer and after Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci announced their retirements, 2023-24 was seen as a bridge year for the Black and Gold. What a bridge year it was.
Signing low-risk and what turned out to be high-reward free agents, the Bruins surpassed a lot of people’s expectations and finished in second place in the Atlantic Division, one point behind the Florida Panthers.
They took down the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games on a David Pastrnak goal in overtime of Game 7 but fell in six games to a much more talented Panthers team.
Sweeney is going to have to pitch the future to any potential free agents, but Sunday morning at the Bruins exit session with the media, Pastrnak started planting the seeds in free agents about playing in Boston.
