Team: 2023-24 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: May 6, 2023

Published: May 6, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Assumes Bergeron is back for one more year, Krejci retires, Merkulov and Lysell both make the leap to the NHL roster. They may be able to find takers for both Reilly and Forbort one way or another, but worst case both get bought out.

I know Kylington is gearing up for a return to the NHL next season, not sure if the Flames would be willing to move him. But their team defense wasn't their issue this season, it was goaltending and finishing. Hall would help with the second one and he's a hometown kid so he may not have the Flames on his 16 team NTC.

Grzelyck is a good player, but I think the Bruins need to rework their defense a bit around the McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo core. Gryz gets traded to PIT for a mid round pick.

Bruins have lots of organizational LHD depth, but nothing beyond McAvoy and Carlo on RHD. Sign Scott Mayfield to be the guy to anchor the third pairing and be a stable presence next to Lohrei when he hopefully makes the leap this season. Not sure if a 3x3mil is good value for him though, think he ends up getting more then that.
