With the possibility of Tyler Bertuzzi leaving the Boston Bruins in free agency, the team might find themselves in need of a replacement winger.
One potential option that could come at a reasonable price is Max Pacioretty. The Carolina Hurricanes forward has proven himself as a reliable middle-six winger with a knack for scoring goals.
While Pacioretty carries a higher cap hit, his production and experience could make him an attractive addition to the Bruins' lineup.
If the Bruins are unable to retain Bertuzzi, exploring the possibility of signing Pacioretty could be a smart move to bolster their forward group without breaking the bank.
