This Will Be 'Paramount' As Bruins Make Decision On Pat Maroon

Don Sweeney kept the door open on the Boston Bruins potentially reaching an agreement to bring back Pat Maroon. “Health will probably be the paramount thing that we factor in with Pat moving forward,” Sweeny told reporters during the team's end-of-season press conference at TD Garden on Wednesday, per a team-provided transcript. The Black and Golf acquired Maroon, an impending free agent, before the NHL trade deadline. Maroon, who was recovering from back surgery at the time, played in two regular-season games before he competed in all 13 postseason contests.
