Bruins Offseason

Team: 2023-24 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 16, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

It's going to be a long offseason.

Boston will need to move out lots of money in order to enter the year with another contending roster. It's likely best to put emotion aside this offseason, because beloved Bruins are going to be gone no matter what.

Ullmark is at the peak of his value and Swayman is already prepared to be a full-time starting goalie on a playoff team. As painful as it is to see Swaymark split up, it might be best to make it happen. The likely Vezina Trophy winner going to L.A. for Alex Turcotte, pick #54, and a 2024 1st that likely falls in between 20-32 seems like a fine deal. Boston gets a chance with a prospect that has little chance of thriving in Los Angeles.

Taylor Hall is likely on his way out after his strong playoff performance. I think Carolina is the most likely team to ensure that they grab a skilled middle-six winger after a few seasons of failed free agent acquisitions. The value may be off, but it's hard to gauge how desperate Carolina will be, but I've got a hunch.

Anaheim has an abundance of draft capital and could take on Forbort for the year with the intention of trading him at the deadline for a higher draft pick. Boston could also sell him by adding a pick of their own, but I think this is more likely and ideal.

Clifton may see larger offers on the open market, but the sizeable pay raise may entice him to stay in Boston for another run.
