The Boston Bruins lost the Stanley Cup Final just over a short two months ago. However, the fans and the players as well have already shifted their focus ahead of next season.

There are some interesting questions left on the table for the Boston Bruins. We picked up three questions surrounding the Bruins for the upcoming year.

Last year, the Boston Bruins went from seeming unlikely early on to even stretch to the play-offs to making it within one game of the Stanley Cup.

After a shaky start with the team struggling due to the injury woes of several key players, including Patrice Bergeron, Charlie McAvoy, Zdeno Chara and Torey Krug, the Boston Bruins then turned around and went on a lengthy winning streak.

In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Bruins took the advantage of the top teams being knocked out before having to really face any of them, and almost won the Stanley Cup.

However, that didn’t happen and the next season is already around the corner. What questions might the Bruins want to find the answers for?

No, this is not about Charlie McAvoy and his contract situation or David Backes. It’s more than clear what the Bruins have to do with those issues.

This looks to answer three much broader questions; whether the goaltending can hold up, whether the team can rely on youth for secondary scoring and such. Talking about McAvoy, Carlo and Backes has been done (a lot!).
