Boston Bruins expected to pursue three star wingers in aggressive offseason

Coming off one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory, the Bruins are heading into the summer knowing something has to give.

With money to spend and pressure from ownership, the front office will be active, and all eyes are on the second-line right wing spot that’s been wide open since Jake DeBrusk left for Vancouver.

That situation alone puts Brock Boeser in the crosshairs.

Boeser recorded 25 goals and 50 points this season with the Canucks, a modest drop from his breakout 2023-24 campaign where he exploded for 40 goals and 73 points.

Even with the dip, he remains a consistent offensive presence and a proven NHL scorer.

Boeser’s ability to contribute at even strength and on the power play makes him a legitimate upgrade for Boston’s thin forward group. Plugging him into the top six would give the Bruins a boost they sorely lacked this past season.

Trade route could land Bruins the physical, productive Alex Tuch

If the Bruins want to explore other avenues, Alex Tuch presents a different kind of opportunity.

The 29-year-old winger is heading into the final year of his deal with Buffalo, meaning he won’t come cheap, but he fits the mold of what Boston needs.

Tuch had a strong 2024-25, scoring 36 goals and adding 67 points, while also logging 73 hits and a +16 rating. That followed an even stronger showing the previous season with 79 points in 74 games.

For the Bruins, Tuch’s game checks off several boxes: size, scoring, edge, and experience.

He’d give the second line a major upgrade while reinforcing Boston’s identity as a team that plays hard and hits harder.

Ehlers offers versatility, speed, and proven production on the left

Ehlers finished the year with 24 goals, 63 points, and a +14 rating with the Winnipeg Jets. He’s hit 21 or more goals in eight of his 10 NHL seasons and notched at least 60 points in four different campaigns.

What makes Ehlers so valuable is how quietly efficient he is. He plays with speed, makes smart decisions, and doesn’t need to dominate the puck to produce. In a Bruins lineup that lacked secondary scoring, his presence could offer immediate relief.

Don Sweeney has the financial flexibility to act, but this offseason isn’t just about spending—it’s about choosing the right pieces. Boeser, Tuch, and Ehlers all bring different strengths, but each could play a pivotal role in restoring the Bruins to contention.
