Like other teams, the Bruins had high hopes for a significant cap increase for the upcoming season. However, with less than $4 million in cap space and several free agents to retain, the team faced a challenging situation.
The trade provided a $6 million boost to the Bruins' cap, pushing it slightly above $10 million.
Bruins President Cam Neely acknowledged the inevitable loss of Hall and expressed appreciation for his contributions. Although disappointed by the lack of a cap increase, the team had anticipated such a scenario.
