SAD NEWS: Boston Bruins legend died in a hospital minutes ago due to automobile accident….
Once again, the Boston Bruins look like one of the top Eastern Conference clubs heading into the 2024-25 season.
While they suffered some notable losses this offseason, they also brought in some new players that should strengthen their roster.
When looking at their roster, they have a few players who could challenge for awards next season. Let’s discuss three of them now.
David Pastrnak is a clear candidate for the Maurice Rocket Richard Trophy, given annually to the NHL’s leading scorer.
No. 88 already has one on his resume, as he won the trophy in 2019-20, along with Alex Ovechkin.
He also posted 61 goals back in 2022-23 but lost to superstar Connor McDavid, who had 64.
Bruins star goaltender Jeremy Swayman certainly has the potential to win the Vezina Trophy.
The Anchorage, Alaska native has been excellent over these last few seasons and now has the chance to be the Bruins’ true No. 1 goalie because of it.
If he thrives in the role, he could be in the hunt for the Vezina this year.
Swayman is also coming off a magnificent postseason, recording a .933 SV% and a 2.15 GAA.
If he replicates this kind of play next season, the 25-year-old could be in a big year. He first needs to get his new contract done, of course.
