In the two weeks since the Boston Bruins elimination by the Tampa Bay Lightning from the 2018 NHL playoffs, there’s growing speculation over general manager Don Sweeney‘s plans to improve his roster.
The Bruins could use a big, physical forward on their second line and perhaps a little more checking-line grit. Bolstering the defense, however, appears to be their priority.
During his end-of-season press conference last Wednesday, Bruins president Cam Neely indicated his club’s need for more size besides Zdeno Chara on their blueline’s left side. The Boston Globe‘s Kevin Paul Dupont reported Neely believed Sweeney intends to work on that this summer.
