The team aims to reinforce their top-six forward position, particularly at center, and has shown interest in acquiring Mark Scheifele from the Winnipeg Jets.
Scheifele, who holds a 10-team no-trade clause and a $6.125 million cap hit, is in the final year of his contract. While trade talks have been low-key, multiple teams are monitoring the free agent market before making moves.
The Bruins lack a reliable top center and could benefit from Scheifele's skillset, but their cap constraints pose a challenge.
The Bruins had previously allocated their cap space for other players when Tyler Bertuzzi's agent proposed a one-year deal.
This complicates the potential Scheifele acquisition, as the Bruins must navigate their cap limitations to make significant moves.
