It’s shaping up to be a pivotal offseason for the Boston Bruins, and GM Don Sweeney is not wasting any time. With $28.8 million in projected cap space and a clear mandate to keep the Bruins in Stanley Cup contention, the club is reportedly preparing to make significant roster changes. According to Bruins insider Nick Goss of NBC Sports, Boston is in the market for a top-six scoring winger—either through free agency or trade.
Among the names generating the most buzz are Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner and Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers. Marner’s status in Toronto remains uncertain as his contract nears its final year, and Ehlers could be a cap casualty in Winnipeg. If Boston swings and misses in free agency, the trade market is wide open—and the Bruins are well-positioned with four first-round picks and five second-rounders over the next three drafts.
Could Swayman Be on the Move? Bruins Poised for a Bold Offseason
One rumor gaining serious traction involves a blockbuster with the Buffalo Sabres. Rumors suggest the Bruins could send goaltender Jeremy Swayman and promising center John Beecher to Buffalo in exchange for dynamic winger JJ Peterka and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. While Bruins fans might bristle at the idea of parting with Swayman, the deal could help fill multiple needs while injecting youth and scoring into the lineup.
The front office’s aggressiveness should come as no surprise. The Bruins are in win-now mode, and this summer could be their most important since the retirement of Patrice Bergeron. Whether it’s Marner, Ehlers, or Peterka, Boston seems determined to land a game-changing winger and ensure their goaltending remains strong—even if that means shaking up the current tandem.
