The Boston Bruins are not as bad as their recent struggles would suggest.

But if the team is going to turn its season around, improvement needs to come from within.

The Bruins are right up against the salary cap, with just $1.23 million of room, per PuckPedia .

Don Sweeney has been one of the most aggressive general managers in terms of adding to his roster.

The Bruins rank 28th in shooting percentage ( 9.32 ) but eighth in expected goals scored ( 135.96 ) Don't be surprised if, at some point, the Bruins start to score more goals.

The Bruins are not a lock to make the playoffs, but they are the 11th place team in the East .
