It’s getting to that time....again.
Which means of course we now need to start looking at the competition that surrounds this team, starting with the teams that, at least in my opinion, the Bruins will have to actively keep up with this season. I’m sure you’re familiar with them.
Key Signings: Matthew Tkachuk, Colin White, Rudolfs Balcers, Nick Cousins
Key Strengths: Top 6 didn’t stop being any less skilled than it started, offense might still be good enough to overwrite everything in the Key Weaknesses column
Key Weaknesses: Goaltending still a massive and expensive question mark years later, defense is very dependant on first pairing, Paul Maurice isn’t really a sexy choice for coach
Last year, any negative opinion about the Panthers defense, real or imagined, you might’ve had was probably true.
