Fantasy Season in Review: Boston Bruins
Offensive Corps: Young centers David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron led the team in scoring with 52 points each. That sentence alone scared fantasy general managers into rostering almost no Bruins forwards once it became apparent that the team had a problem scoring.

Rookie Johnny Boychuk will avoid free agency and sign with the team that believed in him in the first place.
