Learning from Vegas: Lessons for the Bruins' Path to the Stanley Cup
Keys to Success for the Boston Bruins.
The Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in the 2022-23 NHL season.
Former Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy and ex-Bruin Reilly Smith will have their names on the Cup. The Florida Panthers' playoff run was impressive, but they couldn't match Vegas.
Loopholes the Bruins could take advantage of like Vegas did
The Bruins should learn from Vegas' success to replicate it next season.
One lesson is taking advantage of current cap rules, like the long-term injury reserve (LTIR) loophole. Critics call it cheating, but it's within the rules and every team knows about it.
The Bruins need to be creative with their cap situation and utilize these loopholes. Making the right deals is crucial. Vegas has been aggressive in building their roster and acquiring top players.
The Bruins should follow suit, especially at the center position, if Bergeron or Krejci retire. Building depth at center is important for championship teams. The Bruins should focus on strengthening their center depth.
Vegas has shown a win-now mentality, and the Bruins should do the same. They must not let this season's setback discourage them. With strategic additions and an aggressive approach, the Bruins can aim for the Stanley Cup.
