It’s safe to say that Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney was active on the first day of free agency. He addressed the need for the bottom-six forwards with three signings, signed a left-shot defenseman and a goalie.
Sweeney used up all except around $1 million of his cap space Wednesday. He still has to sign David Krejci, if he wants to come back for another run in Boston and during the offseason, you are allowed to go $10 million over the cap, but have to get to or under it by the time training camp rolls around.
