Boston Bruins and GM Don Sweeney may still be holding out on moving Bertuzzi and/or Orlov, which could be for a handful of reasons. But a week from now with the NHL Draft in sight, the Bruins may reach a point where they have no choice and have to cut ties with two fan favourites.
Both Bertuzzi and Orlov are set to hit unrestricted free agency on July 1, and both have peaked a lot of interest in teams. As reported by AFP Analytics, both Orlov and Bertuzzi are projected to be two of the highest paid free agents on their new contracts. If that's the case, neither player can fit in with the Bruins current cap unless there is serious cap-maneuvering which is unlikely.
