The Boston Bruins have officially completed their first move of the off-season
The Boston Bruins have officially completed their first move of the off-season.
The Bruins are going to have a very busy off-season as they need to find some missing pieces, and also figure out the future of a lot of players like Jake DeBrusk and Linus Ullmark.
With all eyes still on the Stanley Cup Finals, the Boston Bruins have completed their first move of the off-season.
Don Sweeney has a lot of decisions to make with unrestricted free agents this year, but he has already made a decision with one player in being Oskar Steen.
Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins have informed that Oskar Steen will not be coming back to the team and that he and his camp can explore free agency on July 1st.
Steen's agent Joakim Persson has confirmed this to the Swedish media:
«Boston has given us permission to already start talking to other teams to see what interest there is,» said Persson to VF. «So those are the conversations we are in the middle of now, and I'm going over to Vegas for the NHL draft on July 28-29 and continue to have conversations and dialogues there.»
Steen only appeared in 60 games for the Boston Bruins during his time with the organization, spending most of it in the AHL with the Providence Bruins. In those 60 games Steen had 4 goals and 4 assists for 8 points.
The Boston Bruins have a clear path on what they want to do this off-season, and Oskar Steen just clearly doesn't fit that.
