As the march to the NHL playoffs continues, the Boston Bruins continue to sit comfortably atop the league standings. And for a team with already impeccable depth, general manager Don Sweeney made the roster even deeper after acquiring Garnet Hathaway, Dmitry Orlov and Tyler Bertuzzi at the trade deadline.
Jim Montgomery has an embarrassment of riches to work with currently. He’ll have even more to work with if or when Nick Foligno, Taylor Hall and Derek Forbort return from their lower-body injuries.
With such a deep roster comes tough decisions. Of course, it’s a good problem facing Montgomery and the coaching staff, even if it means sitting an NHL regular.
