Some thoughts before the draft and free agency.

I think that Bergeron will resign for a performance based contract, similar to Chara's back in the day. I believe that Krejci will also return on a similar contract based upon Cassidy being fired.

Bruins are looking to move up into the first round. I believe that they can get there with some sort of package including their second rounder, Grzelcyk, and Reilly possibly. Not sure how everyone values the 16OA but let me know.

Smith and Nosek can be great additions to any teams, the Bruins are just cap crunched right now. Craig Smith can still provide 15-20 goals a year while Nosek can play up and down the lineup as well as winning faceoffs.

Lazar deserves a raise for carrying the fourth line last year, while Ahcan resigns for two more years. Steen and Ahcan fill the empty spots in the lineup while McAvoy and Marchand are injured.

There has been talk about Trocheck joining the Bruins. He signs a reasonable contract 5.875m x 4 while Colin White tries to revive his career in Boston with a contract 2.233m x 3

DeBrusk stays on the top line due to his success in the last half of the season. Can possibly switch with Trocheck throughout the season.

I cannot see the Bruins being able to move Foligno, so they put him on load management.

Bruins make one last push for the Cup while acquiring some more picks in this years upcoming draft.

Let me know what you think.
