The Boston Bruins face an offseason of change after a disappointing playoff exit.
With UFAs and RFAs likely to depart, uncertainty surrounds Bergeron and Krejci. The team's tight salary cap restricts re-signing and retaining deadline acquisitions.
GM Don Sweeney must make tough decisions and create cap space through trades.
Three players should be untouchable: DeBrusk, a promising forward with a favorable contract; Ullmark and Swayman, a successful goaltending duo; and Carlo, a reliable defenseman.
Preserving their core strength amidst challenges is crucial as the Bruins navigate the offseason.
