The Boston Bruins went all out last season with their massive trade to get Rick Nash, only to falter in a second round loss to their divisional rival Tampa Bay. Going into 2018-2019 it feels like the Bruins did little to improve themselves while watching another divisional rival, Toronto, land the biggest free agent in years.
Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak will continue to lead the way on offense while 41 year old Zdeno Chara continues to lead the B’s on the back end. Charlie McAvoy made a massive push to take over the number one defenseman spot in Boston last year and his continued growth is needed for the Bruins’ success.
