Due to the team's cap limitations, notable pending free agents like Dmitry Orlov and Tyler Bertuzzi have made the decision to explore opportunities in free agency, recognizing that the Bruins won't be able to accommodate their contracts within the current financial framework.
According to a report by Frank Seravalli of The Daily Faceoff, Dmitry Orlov stands as the most highly regarded pending free agent, expected to secure the highest average annual value (AAV) among all players set to hit the open market.
Orlov made an impact during his time with the Bruins, tallying four goals and contributing a total of 17 points, including eight assists in the seven postseason games.
As the offseason unfolds, it remains uncertain how the Boston Bruins will navigate these circumstances, but one thing is for certain: there will be plenty of intrigue and speculation surrounding the team's future moves.
