The Bruins have a lot of work to do this offseason.
Don Sweeney needs to not only replenish an arid prospect pool at the 2025 NHL Draft, but also address the glaring deficiencies littered across Boston’s depth chart.
An impotent offense and misfiring power play needs another scoring forward or two — via free agency or trade — to take the offensive burden off of David Pastrnak’s shoulders. More capital must be allocated to bolster the right side of Boston’s porous D corps.
But, no determinant holds more weight over the Bruins punching their ticket back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2026 than Jeremy Swayman finding his game once again.
