Boston Bruins explore RFA options for right-shot defenseman upgrades
Summary

The Boston Bruins aim to strengthen their roster this summer, seeking speed, skill, and a No. 1 center while needing right-handed defensemen. Unrestricted free agent Andrew Peeke and the potential trade of Simon Nemec from the New Jersey Devils are among their targets. The Bruins also have depth in their prospect pool, with five first-round picks in the next three years to facilitate trades. Additionally, Braden Schneider of the New York Rangers may be considered as a restricted free agent. Trading discussions are expected to intensify around the NHL draft later this month.
