After this season, the Bruins will be 10 years removed from their 2011 Stanley Cup win. They have made the Stanley Cup Final twice since (2013, 2019). In addition to Rask, who is 33 years old, the Bruins have forwards Bergeron, 35; Krejci, 34; and Marchand, 32. But another player remaining from that Cup-winning team, 43-year-old defenseman Chara, the Boston captain, is unsigned.
Do they have enough for the Bruins to make another Cup run?
"I certainly believe they do," Cassidy said. "Who knows? They might have more than that.
"I feel this core is absolutely capable. A), because I know what they're made of and they're very driven athletes, but B), there's people around them that can support them. It's not all on their shoulders."
