The New Jersey Devils are currently at a point where their competitive window is opening. The Boston Bruins window is closing. The Bruins have multiple holes to fill, with Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci seemingly riding into the sunset. On top of those long-time Bruins, Tyler Bertuzzi, Nick Foligno, and Dmitry Orlov are also set to become free agents. It was reported that the Bruins would like to retain their deadline acquisition in Bertuzzi. However, they only have $5 million in projected salary cap space.
That will not get Bertuzzi locked up, let alone anyone else of his stature.
