BREAKING: Don Sweeney Reveals Impending Departure of Prominent Player in Free Agency

According to a recent update from Boston Hockey Now, Dmitry Orlov, a defenseman for the Boston Bruins, is expected to enter the unrestricted free agent market soon.

General Manager Don Sweeney addressed the media during a press conference in Nashville, confirming the team's slim chances of re-signing Orlov.

The Bruins made a significant move by trading Taylor Hall, resulting in a notable $6 million reduction in their salary cap burden.

This transaction, as reported by PuckPedia, has opened up approximately $10.9 million in projected cap space for the team. This estimate accounts for the current roster makeup, which includes 14 players: 6 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 1 goaltender.
