Tragic News: Boston Bruins key player engaged in a terrible car accident that leads to….

Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney added some big pieces and some smaller pieces in free agency this summer.

By now you know that center Elias Lindholm and defenseman Nikita Zadarov were the two big names, while Sweeney also added some potential bottom-six pieces.

Some of the additions are going to make for rather interesting training camp battles next month when it kicks off at Warrior Ice Arena.

Max Jones was one addition who could end up playing a big role for the Black and Gold and not to be overlooked is a former first-round pick that not many people might know a lot about.

Aside from Jones, another bottom-six forward candidate that Sweeney signed this summer is 6-foot-6 Riley Tufte.

He is not a name that is going to jump off the page at you, but with his big frame, he plays a heavy game and in the last couple of seasons in the AHL, he’s found his offensive game.

“I think, especially me, being 6-6 and a bigger guy, definitely it’s taken a little bit for me to grow into my game,” Tufte said.

“I think I’ve found that pro game every year, I’ve gotten better every year…just kind of finding my role.

It’s been an amazing last four, five years of pro. Looking forward to being a Boston Bruin.

It’s gonna be awesome. It’s a process as me as a big guy and I think I’ve taken huge steps.”
