Cam Neely Says Team Has One Main Target This Offseason.
The Boston Bruins offseason is underway and the franchise isn't ready to blow the whole thing up just yet.�
Lots of question marks need to be answered regarding the current roster and also how they'll attack free agency.�
According to president Cam Neely their top need is pretty clear.�
Neely wants the team to land a defenseman who could pair with Charlie McAvoy and eat up minutes.�
"The elusive left D we've been looking for that can chew up a lot of minutes," said Neely, when asked what he would add to this current core Boston Bruins group in a perfect world. "Maybe play on the second pairing with Carlo. That'd be more of a shutdown or some puck movement [with] some offensive blue line acumen. As we saw, you can never have enough D and we never seem to have enough.
"For some reason or another, we get banged up. I think our D this year had maybe eight concussions, which is something I don't know how to combat. But that position is something that we've been looking [at] for a while. Hopefully we can do something to grab someone that's going to help maybe play 20 minutes a game for us."
