Over the last couple of offseasons, there have been some tough decisions that have faced Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney in terms of free agency. Let's not forget the decisions that he faced back in March at the trade deadline when he was a seller for the first time in a long time.
After careful thinking, Sweeney let some key players walk in free agency, as well as trading some key pieces. All of those decisions led to some interesting free agency signings over the summer, as well as a key trade with the Edmonton Oilers that acquired forward Viktor Arvidsson, who has been battling injuries lately.
