Don Sweeney Aims to Grant Two NHL Veterans a Second Chance in the League
As the Boston Bruins meticulously evaluate their roster, it's evident that fortifying forward depth takes precedence. While the hunt for a top-six center remains ongoing, the team's attention is also drawn to enhancing their bottom-six options.
In this context, several potential candidates for professional tryout contracts (PTOs) emerge as valuable considerations: Colin White, Paul Stastny, and Pius Suter.
Colin White, aged 26 and hailing from Massachusetts, boasts a journey in the NHL marked by peaks and valleys. Despite a dip in production during the 2022-23 season, wherein he tallied eight goals and 15 points in 68 games with the Florida Panthers, his previous seasons reveal potential for resurgence.
Recording 10 points in 24 games earlier and an impressive 41-point campaign in 2018-19, White stands primed for a rebound.
Another enticing PTO prospect is Pius Suter, aged 27. His versatility across all forward positions adds to his appeal. Despite recording 14 goals and 24 points over 79 games with the Detroit Red Wings in the 2022-23 season, Suter's offensive output witnessed a marginal dip. Yet, his commendable progress in defensive play solidified his role as a reliable penalty-killer.
Venturing into these PTO avenues could strategically enrich the Bruins' lineup. With each player offering distinct strengths and latent potential, their cumulative contributions could play a pivotal part in shaping the team's fortunes for the forthcoming season.
