Presently constructed, the outlook for not only this year, but the future doesn't exactly paint a pretty picture for the Boston Bruins. The teams this year are not built to be a playoff team, never mind any kind of contender.
There is a core that is in place that is in its prime, and general manager Don Sweeney is in the process of potentially wasting it. There needs to be some additions made from the outside of the organization, and it'll likely have to be done through a trade rather than waiting for free agency to open in July.
