Boston Bruins: Why missing out on Blake Coleman isn’t bad news

While it’s never ideal to see a divisional rival adding yet more depth to their roster, the Boston Bruins should be okay with missing out on Coleman. He would’ve likely projected to play on the third line and what Tampa ultimately paid was an over-pay.

However, he is still a 21-goal player this season and goals make him expensive, especially when you can back it up with 200+ hits last year too. Only Josh Anderson, Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson can match that sort of goal scoring with a hitting game like that.
