Team: 2021-22 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 28, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

- Add Hakanpaa to provide more depth at RD. Although not ideal, LD looks to be set
- Trade Debrusk and Moore to a rebuilding team for whatever assets you can get
- Resign Krecji, but if he retires I would trade Debrusk, Moore + prospects/picks to get another 2C.

If Krejci resigns, I believe Sweeney has finally built a forward group that will get the job done in the playoffs. First 2 lines speak for themselves and Haula-Coyle-Foligno will be very tough to play against and will matchup well against most teams. 4th line has an improved offensive dimension that was missed last year.

Defense is my biggest concern. Fortbort is a solid stay at home defensemen and good for the 3rd pairing but having Clifton as the only option for 3rd RD.....yikes. He's a good 7th defensemen but I would really like the Bruins to move for another RD. One injury to Carlo and they're having the same problem as last season.

Excited about Ullmark/Swayman duo. Ullmark posted solid numbers in that dumbster fire in Buffalo last season, but he does get injured quite a bit. Resigning Rask may depend on Ullmark's health and Swayman's development. Would still sign and put him on LTIR to be safe. Believe 3.5 for Rask would be enough seeing as though he'll be out for the first half of the 21/22 season.
