Boston Bruins consider acquiring RFA defenseman Jordan Spence from Ottawa Senators

Summary

The Boston Bruins are exploring options to strengthen their right-shot defenseman position as Andrew Peeke's contract expires. With Victor Soderström leaving and limited depth in the prospect pool, they may look to Ottawa Senators' Jordan Spence. Spence, 25, recorded 31 points this season and is a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer. The Bruins face a competitive signing approach amid a tight salary cap situation, needing to submit a qualifying offer by July 5, which Spence is expected to receive.
