That’s the message that Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney told the fans today. The Boston Bruins chose to sign defensemen Joe Morrow and Colin Miller to contracts today, With the exception of the buyout of Dennis Seidenberg, and the free agency exit of Zach Trotman (who didn’t get enough ice time), the Black and Gold have chosen to retain the same core of blueliners as last season.
The Boston Bruins now have seven signed defensemen. Barring any last minute surprise, this looks the defensive core for the 2016-17 season. Fan reaction to the latest signings was mostly positive, especially in the case of Colin Miller.
