Beginning the 2025-26 season on Wednesday night against the Washington Capitals on the road, the Boston Bruins kick off a new campaign with many more questions than answers. The Caps, on the other hand, have very few questions facing them.
For the Bruins, it was an underwhelming offseason for general manager Don Sweeney, who didn't address his team's biggest needs of a top center and a scoring wing. Instead, he signed a slew of bottom-six forwards to make the Black and Gold tougher to play against and traded for Edmonton Oilers wing Viktor Arvidsson. Other than that, getting Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm back healthy on defense were the best additions.
