As NHL Free Agency gets started, moves are being made left and right involving some key pieces from the Bruins.
One move real disappointment for the Bruins came Sunday when former New York Islanders John Tavares chose to join the Toronto Maple Leafs. As that happened, they chose to sign a few other former Islanders, instead.
