One standout performer in the playoffs was Tyler Bertuzzi. Despite a slow start to the regular season, Bertuzzi demonstrated his playoff prowess with five goals and 10 points in just seven games. His contributions warrant a place among the team's top-four wingers, particularly with Pavel Zacha likely transitioning to center.
Another player deserving consideration is Connor Clifton, who proved his worth as a reliable third-pairing defenseman throughout the season. With Dmitry Orlov's departure, Clifton's consistent performance and physicality make him an attractive option for the Bruins.
Lastly, Nick Foligno, despite his previous high salary, experienced a resurgence this season and could provide valuable depth and leadership at a more affordable price point. His improved performance makes him a viable candidate for the Bruins to consider retaining.
As the Bruins strategize for the offseason, these players should be high on their priority list in terms of retention, ensuring a well-rounded roster capable of contending in the future.
