Leading into the offseason, Boston Bruins management was not interested in a rebuild after missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, instead telling us they were going to be in a retool. Well, as we are a week from closing the month of July and free agency being a month old, the results so far might tell us otherwise.

Free agency wasn't a blockbuster like last summer when Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov were signed, instead making the biggest splash right before free agency opened by acquiring Viktor Arvidsson from the Edmonton Oilers.
