Despite August being a relatively quiet off-season period, it’s been a rollercoaster month for the Boston Bruins.

Fredric signed for two years at $2.3 million prior to arbitration, which is fair value for a bottom-six forward coming off a career-best season. Swayman signed for one year at …
The Bruins’ Centennial Season kicked off with a frenzy of activity. On the eve of the NHL Awards, Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno became the first casualties of Boston’s cap crunch. The two of them were dealt to Chicago for a pair of RFA minor-league defensemen. It was rumored that Boston was looking to move Hall’s contract for cap flexibility, …

The day did not start on the right foot for Boston. Hours …

Multiple sources have confirmed that Hall has been practicing with the team, but is still short of a full recovery.
