Re-grading the Bruins trading Oskar Steen after three seasons…

Going into the Boston Bruins season, much like the situation surrounding forward, the team had a decision to make about a different forward: Oskar Steen.

For the past three seasons, had been bouncing between Boston and AHL-Providence and, unlike the emergency goaltenders they would call up, he would occasionally get some playing time. However, following the 2023-24 season, it is now four seasons in a row that Don Sweeney and co., cannot seem to figure out where they want Steen.

Steen, however, may have made the decision for them as, according to Swedish hockey writer Varmlands Folkblad is more than likely going to be leaving the organization. Whether he stays in the NHL, signs a two-way contract, or goes back to play in his native Sweden remains to be seen, but come two weeks from now when free agency begins, we shall see.

Throughout the regular season, Steen’s numbers do not exactly jump out at you as numbers of someone that Boston would go out of their way to keep around, even as a depth piece.
