Collapse for the Boston Bruins: a former Canadiens to the rescue
It's been a few years since we've wondered when the Boston Bruins would start to drop in the standings, as they continue to surprise year after year.
Last season, despite the departures of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, they reached the second round of the playoffs against the future champions.
There are several reasons why this team keeps excelling, one of which is the performance of their goaltenders, particularly Jeremy Swayman.
However, the Bruins don't have much wiggle room under the salary cap, and the young goaltender is looking to cash in immediately. He is still a restricted free agent and won't accept a bridge contract.
The chances that Jeremy Swayman won't start the season with the Bruins are very real, which would be a disaster for them. To address this potential gap, the organization has signed a professional tryout contract with a former Canadiens player, Kasimir Kaskisuo.
- Marco Normandin
It's certainly a concerning situation for Boston, but Kaskisuo is capable of providing solid service and is a high-quality veteran. He was a spark for young Jakub Dobes last year in Laval.
We genuinely wish him a lot of success and hope he can secure an NHL contract.
