The Bruins are currently sifting through their goaltender prospects along with their primary goaltending as major decisions are looming for the team. Jeremy's wayman, made a statement during this year's playoffs that he is ready to be the number one goaltender and will seek a significant pay raise and a long-term deal. If successful, this will put pressure on the Bruins to move Linus all mark as he holds a $5 million contract next year.
The Bruins also have prospects in Providence who are prepared to make the move to the NHL including goalie prospect Brandon Bussi who appears ready to take that next step.
