Despite a record-breaking 2022-23 regular season, numerous people�believe that the Bruins will fall in the standings after losing a few significant pieces, notably six-time Selke Trophy winner Patrice Bergeron. The Bruins also suffered the loss of David Krejci. Taylor Hall, Tyler Bertuzzi, Dmitry Orlov, Garnet Hathaway, Nick Foligno, Tomas Nosek, and Connor Clifton.
The Bruins are now an immense question mark after a spectacular season. Throwing everything on the line and falling short in the first round of the playoffs.
However, Sportsnet NHL Insider Jeff Marek stated in the most recent 32 Thoughts Podcast that the Boston Bruins, like last season, frequently find a way to defy� the odds.
«Look, you're not gonna come back as the same team. You lose Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, you're not coming back to being close to the same you were,» Marek told co-host Elliotte Friedman. «I'm just not prepared to write off the Boston Bruins like some people are and say this is awful; if a team like Detroit, Buffalo, or Ottawa are jumping up, that's the team that falls. They always figure it out. I know it's tough. Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha are your 1-2 centers. And you wonder what happens to other players who played with, most specifically Bergeron, and what happens to their production now that Bergeron and Krejci are gone.» Marek pointed out. «But there's still so much talent there � that blue line, those goalies, David Pastrnak � there's still a ton of talent.» The Bruins are currently +1600 to win the Stanley Cup, +850 to win the Eastern Conference, +1600 to win the Presidents' Trophy, and +380 to win the Atlantic Division, according to DraftKings Sports book. They may surpass expectations about the Bruins, so prepare to put your money where your mouth is.
