Jon Lane of NHL.com: Contract negotiations are status quo with restricted free agents Brandon Carlo and Charlie McAvoy according to Boston Bruins president Cam Neely.
The Bruins lost Marcus Johansson and Noel Acciari to free agency. The Bruins signed Brett Ritchie on July 1st and hope that change of scenery will do him good.
“Ritchie’s a kid we felt kind of plateaued a little bit, needed maybe a change a scenery and a new environment, maybe a different opportunity will hopefully get him back to the level …,” Sweeney said.
