Team: 2022-23 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 22, 2022

Published: Mar. 22, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Let's say that the Bruins are close, but not close enough and fail to win the cup, getting booted in the second or third round. This offseason will pave the way to the LAST shot the Bruins have at winning with this core, but they also need to be mindful of the few prospects that they have when deciding whether to go all-in. I think that we need to build up as much as possible without sacrificing our futures in trades. Our defense is set, no need to add at all. It's the forwards that need bolstering, and DeBrusk will most likely be moved, opening up a glaring spot in the top six. Cap space is tight (thanks Nick Foligno) but there should be some decent options in 3-5 mil range. I picked Kessel on a 1 year prove-it deal with hopes that he rebounds offensively but I think some other options would be Reilly Smith, Ondrej Palat, Mason Marchment, or Andre Burakovsky.
