      The offseason has arrived for the Boston Bruins.

      With their loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs second round, the Bruins now turn to the looming start of free agency in mid-October.

      Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara highlight the Bruins' list of free agents, but there are plenty more beyond them. So, here's a look at each player's situation, according to CapFriendly.

      Note: We classified players by their standing in the organization at the time of the NHL's March pause, which is why guys like Karson Kuhlman and Jack Studnicka are considered minors players.
