Tuesday marked the official start of NHL free agency. The Boston Bruins made several moves as they hope to improve from a disappointing 2024-25 season. The Bruins missed the postseason last year and ended up with the No. 7 pick in the NHL Draft. Boston used that pick to select center James Hagens out of Boston College.

The Boston Bruins' clear goal in free agency this year should be to improve their forward group. They are in a position to do some spending, as they have $12 million of cap space to work with.

The Boston Bruins added a physical bottom-six wing to the fold with a new free-agent signing, and on a long-term deal.
