Why the Bruins’ Busy Free Agency Could Leave Their Biggest Flaw Unfixed—And What It Means for the Season
The Bruins have Marat Khusnutdinov, John Beecher, Mark Kastelic, Arvidsson, Poitras, Minten, Jeannot, Kuraly, Eyssimont, Blumel, Merkulov and Lysell vying for six spots between the third and fourth lines. Even if someone like Arvidsson plays in the top-six, that’s still way too many bottom-six players. Are the Bruins going to waive someone? Will we see a trade or two?
For many years, the Bruins have prioritized veteran, low-scoring, physical bottom-six forwards over giving younger players enough minutes to prove themselves. And based on Tuesday’s moves, it looks like we’ll see more of the same next season.
