The Bruins will see Jake DeBrusk, James van Riemsdyk, Milan Lucic, Pat Maroon, Danton Heinen, Matt Grzelcyk, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Derek Forbort all become free agents this summer.
All these empty roster spots will free up about $21.7 Million in cap space let alone the fact that the cap will be increasing to 87.7 Million this summer, Sweeney will have a lot for room for some big signings.
