DEFENSE

Zdeno Chara – Dennis Seidenberg

Dougie Hamilton – Johnny Boychuk

Adam McQuaid – Torey Krug (RFA)

EXTRAS:  Matt Bartkowski, Kevan Miller

A veteran group led by Chara, a Norris nominee once again last season.  Seidenberg returning to the lineup from a long term injury gives the Bruins a lot of options when putting pairs together, as Hamilton and Krug excelled when given the chance to play in Seidenberg’s absence, and will be the core of the next generation of Bruins defensemen.  The Bruins have just under $19M committed to 7 defensemen, which does not include Krug, who is still without a contract.
