Even with Bergeron retiring, I could see Boston wanting to give it another good try next season given the regular season they just had. I don't think you go from record breaking regular season to tear down without seeing what's going to happen. I could also see Lindholm having some value on an expiring deal as they wouldn't have to commit if it doesn't work out. And if it does work out, Boston isn't a franchise that usually has to worry about re-signing players.
