Don Sweeney maps out Bruins’ approach with final roster cuts, Matt Poitras’ future

The Bruins have until Monday evening to formulate their roster ahead of regular-season action on Wednesday night.

Not only do the Bruins need to shave their training camp personnel down to either 22 or 23 players, they also need to get under the NHL’s $83.5 million cap ceiling.

Boston made another three cuts to its group on Saturday afternoon, placing Jesper Boqvist, Oskar Steen, and Jakub Zboril on waivers for the purpose of assignment to Providence.

“When you’re delivering news that isn’t what they’re hoping to hear, it doesn’t matter what business you’re in, or what what the situation calls for,” Jim Montgomery said Saturday of looming roster cuts.
