Back home after a weekend in Florida that didn’t exactly go as planned — leaving stunned and confused Bruins fans asking, ‘What just happened to our team?’ — the B’s brass will now deal with the start of NHL free agency at noon tomorrow.
The Bruins did make a move yesterday to add sorely needed toughness. One of the many problems last season was a shortage of players to push back when opponents took physical liberties.
Milan Lucic, one of the few tough guys the B’s had in 2014-15, is gone, but the team acquired undersized but tough 25-year-old winger Zac Rinaldo from the Philadelphia Flyers for a third-round pick in the 2017 draft.
