Now What Boston?

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,

Now comes an offseason of great introspection for the Bruins, who traded away young defenseman Dougie Hamilton at last June’s draft and then traded four draft picks (a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a 5th) plus a prospect to bring in rentals John-Michael Liles and Lee Stempniak, which seemed to run counter to the team’s goals of stockpiling young assets.

There will be much speculation that Claude Julien, the man who guided the Bruins to a Stanley Cup win in 2011 and to the finals two years later, will pay for the disappointment with his job.

And there is no mistaking the swoon that enveloped the Bruins in the last month of the season as they won just four of their last 14 games.

But the reality is there’s plenty of blame to go around the Bruins to have it stop solely at the coach’s door.
