The 2025-26 Bruins will be banking on a bounce-back season from Jeremy Swayman in net — coupled with a porous defense regaining its rigidity following the return of Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm.
But Boston can’t just look internally in hopes of the team righting the wrongs of a miserable 2024-25 season.
If the Bruins want to get back on track and reassert themselves as a potential playoff club, Don Sweeney and Boston’s top brass are going to have to equip Boston with additional firepower this summer.
“We have to find … some extra scoring potential, and we have to probably address the wing positions that will deepen the scoring ability that showed up ineffectively this year in the way the roster was built,” Sweeney said last week.
