With Bruce Cassidy and the Golden Knights hoisting the Stanley Cup in Vegas on Tuesday, the 2023 NHL offseason has officially begun.
And Don Sweeney and the Bruins have plenty of work to do this summer in order to alleviate their cap-related headache.
With just over $4.9 million in cap space available and only 13 skaters currently signed, Boston is going to need to shred a couple of contracts off their books in order to retain talent on a roster that’s still looking to compete in 2023-24 and beyond.
That’s no easy task for the Bruins, who will likely explore just about every avenue in order to give themselves more fiscal wiggle room this summer.
