Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

After Bergeron announced his retirement, I thought about what direction the Bruins were heading. While I still think this is a win-now team and that’s the direction they should go in, I wanted to mix it up. The Bruins have very little draft capital. I wanted to help the Bruins develop their draft capital while trading their high-salary players for lower salary players of similar/slightly lower caliber and a draft pick. This is still a competitive roster, but it also allows the Bruins to be prepared for the future. I call this “competitive rebuilding”, which is essentially doing a modified rebuild while still having a competitive team. After having the best regular season in NHL history, the Bruins lost a lot of their roster (Bergeron, Orlov, Hall, Foligno, Hathaway, Bertuzzi, & Krejci assuming he retires). After these moves, a lot of the team is different than last years. Why not continue to mix things up while building for the future? NOTE: This is my first Armchair Manager. I tried to make everything realistic but I’m not sure if all of the trades/salaries are realistic.
