Don Sweeney States A Big Name Is Going To Walk In Free Agency
According to the latest update from Boston Hockey Now, it appears that Dmitry Orlov, a defenseman for the Boston Bruins, will most likely become an unrestricted free agent this coming Saturday.
In a press conference held in Nashville on Tuesday, General Manager Don Sweeney of the Bruins acknowledged that it is improbable for the team to secure a contract with Orlov.
In a recent trade involving Taylor Hall, the Bruins managed to alleviate a $6 million burden on their salary cap.
As stated by PuckPedia, this transaction has resulted in the team having an estimated $10.9 million in available cap space, taking into account the current roster composition of 14 players, consisting of 6 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 1 goaltender.
