The Boston Bruins dominated the entire regular season and bolstered their team even more with deadline acquisitions. However, their fortunes changed in the playoffs, as they blew a 3-1 series lead to the Florida Panthers and were eliminated in seven games.
Following such a significant collapse, Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney is expected to make some changes. There are questions regarding the future of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, but Bergeron may be considering retirement based on his post-series demeanor.
In addition to Bergeron and Krejci, several other players, including Nick Foligno, Tyler Bertuzzi, Tomas Nosek, Dmitry Orlov, and Connor Clifton, will become unrestricted free agents in July. Furthermore, Trent Frederic, Jakub Lauko, and Jeremy Swayman are set to become restricted free agents.
