Bruins took a bridge roster tied together with bargain-bin contracts to Game 6 of the second round, and lost to a superior opponent. No shame in this one. Now they can focus on adding a top-6 center and locking up Swayman. Ideally, they also add skill at the wing and a new LD3.

A lot of people won't like this take, but they need to get a real playmaking center for Pastrnak. Name me one scoring wing that does it all by themselves. All due respect to Morgan Geekie, he's a bottom-6 forward. A #1 center of the future with Pasta will make a huge difference.
