Don Sweeney stated the obvious during the Bruins’ end-of-season press conference on May 9.
“Roster changes are likely coming,” Boston’s general manager noted. “We’re not going to be the same team.”
As much as Boston would prefer to roll out the same roster that rewrote the record books during the 2022-23 regular season, it’s not possible in a salary-cap league.
With a little over $6 million in available cap room, over $4.5 million in bonus overages on next year’s books, and no answer yet in regards to their top-six centers, Boston will need to make some drastic moves this summer in order to field a competitive roster under the $83.
