The Stanley Cup Playoffs are nearly over. The Florida Panthers have the opportunity to win their first-ever Stanley Cup on Tuesday night when the greatest trophy in sports is expected to be present in the building. For the other thirty clubs, though, the offseason work has already started as they start to organize their summertime strategies.
The NHL Draft is scheduled for June 28 and takes place just before free agency, which begins on July 1. To improve their teams, some teams are willing to deal their draft picks, and some important players may be traded. The goalkeeper Linus Ullmark is the Boston Bruins’ greatest trade chip. It’s unclear when Ullmark will return, but the Bruins need to get better in one area.
Scoring goals, scoring goals, and scoring goals still. If the Bruins could do one thing better, it would be to score more goals. That’s not to suggest they were completely lacking in that regard. They scored 263 goals as a club to place 13th in the 2023–24 regular season. They also witnessed the career seasons of players like Pavel Zacha, Charlie Coyle, and Morgan Geekie. Seeing those guys take on larger roles and develop into significant depth players was incredible. But during the postseason, the goal scoring dried up and swung the other way.
