The Boston Bruins face cap-related challenges this offseason as they aim to retain talent and compete.

With limited cap space and only 13 signed skaters, shedding contracts is crucial. They will explore buyouts, starting with defenseman Mike Reilly, who could save them $2.6 million in cap space this season.

If no trade is feasible, a buyout will be necessary, resulting in a $1.3 million dead cap hit in 2024-25. The left side of the defense is likely to be reshaped, and parting ways with Reilly would benefit both parties.

They may also need to part with Matt Grzelcyk or Derek Forbort. Grzelcyk could be traded, while Forbort's cap hit may deter suitors. A Forbort buyout would save $2.3 million this season, with a $1.16 million dead cap hit next year.

The Bruins also plan to buy out Mitchell Miller's contract. They aim to navigate this challenging offseason to retool for next season.
