Bruins in trouble next year with Bergeron retiring

As the esteemed center bids farewell to the game, the Bruins must confront the significant void left in their center depth.

Looking ahead to the next season, the team will rely on the likes of Pavel Zacha, Charlie Coyle, Morgan Geekie, Jesper Boqvist, Patrick Brown, and Jayson Megna to step up and fill the crucial position or they will have to make a big move to acquire a number one center.

Bergeron's contributions to the Bruins were nothing short of remarkable. Over his illustrious tenure, he played in an impressive 1294 games, leading the team to 728 victories and an average pace of 103 points per season.

The Bruins' scoring prowess stood at 2.95 goals per game, while they allowed only 2.51 goals against per game, resulting in a remarkable +577 goal differential.
