The Boston Bruins find themselves facing significant salary cap challenges heading into the upcoming season.
With only $4.9 million in available cap space, the team needs to fill eight roster spots, making it a daunting task.
While the Bruins would love to re-sign Tyler Bertuzzi, the reality is that they will need to shed some significant salaries in order to make that happen. One player who is likely to be on the move is Jake DeBrusk.
DeBrusk's name has been circulating in NHL trade rumors, and it seems that his wish for a change of scenery may finally be granted.
The Bruins are actively exploring trade options for DeBrusk, and teams like the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames have recently shown considerable interest.
Clearing out DeBrusk's salary would provide the Bruins with some much-needed flexibility, and they are likely to seek prospects or draft picks in exchange for the talented forward. Both the Canucks and Flames, who are seeking additional scoring firepower, could revisit their interest in DeBrusk as they look to bolster their lineups.
In addition to DeBrusk, the Bruins are also working to trade Taylor Hall, but his modified no-trade clause presents an additional challenge. Nonetheless, the Bruins are determined to navigate these obstacles as they strive to optimize their roster and address their salary cap limitations.
