The team achieved numerous records during the 2022-23 season, setting new highs for most wins and points.
Despite being favored to win the Cup, the Bruins faced a surprising elimination in the first round against the 8th-seeded Florida Panthers.
The loss was devastating for the Bruins players, but it particularly affected their captain, Patrice Bergeron. Speculations about whether it was his final game started circulating immediately after the team's elimination.
Bergeron displayed intense emotions on the ice, embracing his teammates and acknowledging the fans, which many interpreted as a possible farewell.
Another player in a similar situation is David Krejci, a veteran of the team. With an impressive performance in the previous season, contributing 16 goals and 40 assists, it's clear that the Bruins would like to have both Krejci and Bergeron in their starting lineup when the new season begins in October.
However, it remains unclear whether they will continue playing or retire. Recently, a teammate disclosed what appears to be the duo's plan. In
an article for The Athletic, Fluto Shinzawa revealed that an anonymous Bruins player shared that both Bergeron and Krejci are likely hanging up their skates.
The Bruins now face the challenge of managing their salary cap space, with or without Bergeron and Krejci. It is believed that the team will need to acquire around eight players with a salary cap hit of under $5 million.
