Salary cap could force trio of Bruins players out of town
While the Boston Bruins are currently focused on their chase of the Stanley Cup, General Manager Don Sweeney will have his hands full this summer as he looks to shed some cap space.
The salary cap for the 2023-24 season is only expected to go up by $1 million, once again, which means that teams around the league are going to have to get creative if they want to create flexibility for potential additions.
According to Fluto Shinzawa, Taylor Hall, Matt Grzelcyk and Derek Forbort could all be names that Sweeney looks to move this summer in order to clear valuable cap space.
Hall is under contract at $6 million for two more seasons after the current campaign, while Grzelcyk and Forbort are set to become unrestricted free agents in July 2024.
