Don Sweeney and the Bruins’ top brass pledged an “aggressive” offseason this summer, especially with Boston set to enter free agency with nearly $21 million in cap space.
It’s to be expected that the Bruins’ first orders of business this offseason will be to settle in-house business such as Jeremy Swayman’s next contract — as well as determining the futures of both Linus Ullmark and Jake DeBrusk.
But when it comes to allocating a hefty portion of Boston’s remaining cap space, it’s all but a given that the Bruins will be aggressive in adding another center to their lineup, either through free agency or trade.
