Just one day prior to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Bruins’ general manager Don Sweeney held a press conference where he shared some important information. From offense, to defense, and pending Unrestricted Free Agents and Restricted Free Agents, Sweeney shed some light on some of the plans he has for this off-season.
When discussing the back-up goaltending position and specifically being asked about Jonas Gustavsson, Sweeney mentioned Malcolm Subban is a “strong candidate” for the role next season. He also mentioned that he would be letting Gustavsson go to the free agency market, along with defenseman Zach Trotman.
