The difficult times seem to be over for the Boston Bruins, as both management and fans are just excited to see their team back on the ice. With the opening game of the season a week away, it’s time to dive into a secondary marketing ticketing preview for the upcoming Bruins season.
Before going over some of the most expensive Bruins tickets on the secondary market, below is a quick recap of events during the offseason:
- The Bruins missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
- General Manager Peter Chiarelli was fired on April 15; Don Sweeney hired on May 20.
- Traded away Dougie Hamilton and Milan Lucic, who were each big fan-favorites.
- Selected Zachary Senyshyn 15th overall in the NHL Draft (acquired from Hamilton deal) and acquired the 13th overall pick, Jakub Zboril, in the Lucic deal, among others.
Sports Illustrated predicts the Bruins will finish with 90 points and in sixth-place in the Atlanta Division, which doesn’t sound too exciting for a franchise that usually expects much bigger things when approaching a new season. But with perhaps lower expectations that any season in the past 10 years, the Bruins may have nothing to lose while trying to get back to elite status.
