As the July 1 opening of free agency approaches, the Boston Bruins face crucial tasks such as hiring a coach and utilizing the No. 7 draft pick.

With just under $29 million in cap space, the Bruins also need to sign restricted free agent Morgan Geekie after his impressive scoring season, which could further strain their budget.
