Bruins hope to tap into Max Jones’ potential

BOSTON, MA – Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm will receive the lion’s share of the media and fan attention as the major July 1 free agency signings hauled in by the Boston Bruins, and that’s rightfully so given the significant impact roles they will fill.

But Zadorov and Lindholm don’t amount to the total sum of Boston’s work done in free agency as there are other incoming players coming into the Black and Gold fold next season. Riley Tufte was a big 6-foot-7 former first-round pick coming from the Minnesota Wild organization who will mostly likely spend this coming season in Providence, and Billy Sweezey is a Massachusetts-born defenseman who’s logged previous NHL time with the Columbus Blue Jackets after going undrafted out of Yale University.
