Bruins roster reset, projected lineup after free agent moves and Arvidsson trade
Briefly

On Day 1 of NHL free agency, the Boston Bruins were actively involved, announcing nine signings and one trade. General manager Don Sweeney focused on adding depth with bottom-six forwards instead of pursuing high-scoring talent, which was needed after a poor offensive season. While the team possesses increased depth and internal competition, questions linger about its potential playoff viability. The Bruins' roster appears less talented than division rivals, making a wild card spot seem likely. Future moves could still shape the team's direction as the offseason progresses.
"We expect to be a much more competitive team. The improvements now come from within. But make no mistake: If a younger player has the opportunity to make our team, he's making our team."
"It's hard to see how this roster, as currently put together, would be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference next season. This team is not as talented or as deep as the Panthers, Maple Leafs and Lightning in the division."
