The Boston Bruins are expected to lose many players who will be heading to the open market on July 1st.
An abundance of Boston Bruins players will be pending UFA's, with many of them opting to leave Boston this summer as the goal remains to lock up Jeremy Swayman to a long term deal.
The only likely free agent to stay in Boston seems to be Danton Heinen who had a successful reunion season.

Swayman, is finally being considered as the number one goaltender this summer as he is expected to sign a lengthy deal with the B's. Linus Ullmark is expected to be traded this summer in hopes of doing a one for one swap, ideally a centre coming back to the Bruins.
