Why the Bruins’ Busy Free Agency Could Leave Their Biggest Flaw Unfixed—And What It Means for the Season
Don Sweeney says the Bruins are going to reestablish themselves as a tough team to beat
Boston’s first move Tuesday was trading for Edmonton Oilers left wing Viktor Arvidsson. The 32-year-old veteran is coming off a down season with the Oilers in which he scored 15 goals in 67 games. But he does have five 20-goal seasons in his career, and his contract has only one more year remaining with a $4 million cap hit.
Arvidsson potentially could be a second-line player, but he’s really a third-liner. Overall, though, it’s not a horrible addition, and the cost to get him — a 2027 fifth-round draft pick — was minimal.
