The Bruins fans' list entailed of the following below:

Re-signing Swayman and Bertuzzi: Re-signing Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins' young goaltender, and Tyler Bertuzzi.

Trading Hall for picks: The list suggests trading Taylor Hall, who was acquired by the Bruins during the 2020-2021 season, for draft picks.
