After the Bruins experienced an offseason that was full of changes, Milan Lucic is ready to help fill the void after signing a one-year deal to return to Boston in July.
While no one can fully replace the retired Patrice Bergeron (or the departure of fellow veteran David Krejci), Lucic will combine with newly installed captain Brad Marchand, as well as alternate captains David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy to help try to offset the loss of leadership.
As the Bruins continue in the team’s training camp, Jim Montgomery has noticed the presence of the 35-year-old Lucic.
