This means the team will undergo significant changes during the upcoming offseason. Losing their two top centers will have a major impact on the roster.
Tough Losses
Despite the fact that Bergeron and Krejci's departures will create some financial flexibility due to salary cap space being freed up, the Bruins still face financial challenges. They are struggling with exceeding performance bonuses and find themselves in a difficult position with only 15 players signed for the next season and less than $5 million available in cap space.
Could this mark the downfall of the Bruins' long-standing competitiveness? The actions they take during this offseason will likely determine their future.
Do you think the Bruins will make the playoffs next season?
