The Boston Bruins have some cash to burn this offseason.
Whether because of the NHL’s soaring salary cap or Don Sweeney clearing out several contracts during Boston’s trade-deadline firesale, the Bruins are set to enter the summer with a projected $26.2 million in cap space, per PuckPedia.
Coming off a dreadful 2024-25 campaign where Boston struggled to both snuff out Grade-A chances and bury them down the other end of the ice, Sweeney and his staff should have the fiscal flexibility to add some talent via free agency or trade.
But as enticing as that cap space might be, it will likely dissipate in short order — especially during this surging cap era in the NHL.
