Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has an important choice in front of him. The Bruins have an embarrassment of riches among their forwards. They also need to find someone to fill in a top-four slot on defense.
The addition of David Backes guarantees the Bruins organization will certainly be running deep at center. Perhaps a little too deep. The Bruins now have three top-six centers in Backes, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron. They may even have a fourth in Ryan Spooner.
With so many centers, the Bruins may find themselves as sellers in a lucrative trade market.
