Boston Bruins set to save $3 million in dead cap space
The Boston Bruins will be saving $3 million against the salary cap next year, without Don Sweeney doing so much as lifting the phone.
That is because the Boston Bruins will finally be off the hook for the Dennis Seidenberg buy-out and the salary they retained when they moved Matt Beleskey.
Although neither was a bad signing, per se; they have impacted the Boston Bruins’ deal-making since. What says that Charlie McAvoy doesn’t sign a lengthier renewal should they have had that spare $3 million?
Likewise, would we still be relying on Anders Bjork, Karson Kuhlman or whoever else we feel fit on David Krejci‘s right-wing if we had a little more breathing room within the confines of the salary cap?
