Bruins Map Offseason After First-Round Exit

Executives signaled they may spend future assets to secure a true No. 1 center with more team speed a priority.

Overview

  • Team leadership, speaking Wednesday at TD Garden, said the roster needs a top-line center and more high-end speed to contend.
  • General manager Don Sweeney said everything is in play this summer, including using future draft assets, after the club missed out on an extra first-round pick this year.
  • Cam Neely said captaincy talks have begun, with head coach Marco Sturm set to play a central role in choosing the next leader.
  • Neely and Sweeney praised Sturm’s first season behind the bench, crediting him with making the group more competitive.
  • Several Bruins will head to the World Championships in Switzerland next week, including James Hagens, Sean Kuraly, Mason Lohrei, Joonas Korpisalo, Henri Jokiharju, and Fraser Minten.
