A painful 2023 offseason is nearing an end for the Boston Bruins.
In the span of two months, the Bruins have undergone one of the most significant talent drains in recent memory.
Along with the retirements of both Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, a severe cap crunch prompted a sell-off trade of Taylor Hall, and hamstrung Boston in its efforts to retain Tyler Bertuzzi and Dmitry Orlov in free agency.
But as a retooling Bruins roster sets its sights on 2023-24, Don Sweeney and Boston’s front-office personnel still have one order of business to turn to — the future of 26-year-old winger Jake DeBrusk.
