The Boston Bruins' most notable pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) heading into the summer is forward Viktor Arvidsson. When noting that he had 25 goals and 54 points in 69 games this campaign, it is very likely that the Bruins will be working hard to keep him around. However, if Arvidsson decides to test the free-agent market and the Bruins are unable to re-sign him, they will need to replace him. Because of this, let's look at three free-agent wingers the Bruins should consider targeting if Arvidsson walks. MASON MARCHMENT, COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS If the Bruins are unable to re-sign Arvidsson, Mason Marchment stands out as a solid potential replacement. In 68 games this season split between the Seattle Kraken and Columbus Blue Jackets, the 6-foot-5 winger posted 19 goals, 45 points, 84 hits, and a plus-17 rating. With numbers like these, he would have the potential to be a nice pickup for Boston's top six. BOBBY MCMANN, SEATTLE KRAKEN Bobby McMann is another winger who could make sense for the Bruins to target. The 29-year-old forward took his game to a new level this season, setting new career highs with 29 goals, 17 assists, 46 points, and 165 hits in 78 games. He also notably finished the year with 10 goals and 14 points in 18 games after being traded to the Seattle Kraken, while in a top-six role. ALEX TUCH, BUFFALO SABRES If Alex Tuch hits the market, it would not be surprising if the Bruins pursued him. He would give them another star to work with in their top six. However, with Tuch being the best pending UFA forward, he will be in a position to ask for a major payday if he hits the market. In 79 games this season with Buffalo, he had 33 goals and 66 points.
