In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock this offseason, the 2023-24 Bruins depth chart is going to look very, very different from the 2022-23 iteration that rewrote the record books (during the regular season, at least).
Boston lost franchise stalwarts Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci to retirement, while other fixtures and valuable contributors like Taylor Hall, Tyler Bertuzzi, Dmitry Orlov, Nick Foligno, Connor Clifton, Garnet Hathaway, and Tomas Nosek are all playing elsewhere.
As the Bruins look to retool their roster, Don Sweeney and Boston’s front-office staff are hoping internal candidates like Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle take big steps forward.
