Bruins target Rasmus Andersson ahead of free agency start

The Boston Bruins are expected to pursue defenseman Rasmus Andersson as NHL free agency approaches on July 1. NHL analyst Kristopher Knox predicts that Andersson, recently traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, could sign a long-term deal with Boston. The Bruins have been looking to enhance their blue line and showed interest in Andersson during prior trade discussions. Adding him would represent a significant boost for the team, which seeks to strengthen its position in a competitive Atlantic Division. Andersson had 47 points in 81 games last season.
