We could see goaltender Jeremy Swayman seek a substantial contract but assist the team next season, accepting an overpaid extension later.
By trading Matt Grzelcyk and Mike Reilly, re-signing Bergeron and Krejci for a year, and securing a one-year bridge deal with Swayman, the Bruins could have $4 million left to acquire another forward and two defensemen.
This could help the Bruins with the cap problems they are set to have.
