<p>The <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/boston-bruins/news">Boston Bruins</a> reportedly reacquired an old friend in free agency on Tuesday by inking center Sean Kuraly to a two-year and made a new one by signing winger Mikey Eyssimont to a two-year pact of his own.</p>

<p>The B’s have always placed a high priority on team culture, and the pair of energy forwards will try to help them rediscover their identity under new coach Marco Sturm after a floundering 2024-25 campaign saw Boston miss the postseason for the first time in nearly a decade.</p>



<p>Kuraly is a returning Bruin who represented the club in 270 regular season contests and another 57 playoff games from 2016-2021. A fan favorite in Beantown, Kuraly served in a leadership role during a four-season exodus with the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/columbus-blue-jackets/news">Columbus Blue Jackets</a>, with whom he parted company after averaging career-low ice time (11:46 ATIO) last season.&nbsp;</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="149"></div>



<p>The 32-year-old is in fine physical shape after completing his first-ever 82-game season , and will bring some feistiness to the Bruins’ bottom six. A regular at the heart of scrums and an occasional fighter, Kuraly pitched in with 17 points for the Blue Jackets last season and was a regular on the second PK unit.</p>



<p>Eyssimont is similarly a character guy, but with a somewhat different toolkit than his presumptive new linemate. A classic pest, the 29-year-old would have annoyed plenty of Bruins during parts of three seasons with the rival <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/tampa-bay-lightning/news">Tampa Bay Lightning</a>.</p>



<p>Eyssimont fires a ton of pucks on goal and is occasionally rewarded (10 G per 82 GP). He’ll help Kuraly bring a spark to a Boston lineup that too often fell apart in close contests last season.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="132"></div>



<p>Kuraly and Eyssimont might not log huge minutes for the Bruins, but they’ll make Boston a tougher team to play against and impress pro qualities upon young teammates like Fraser Minten and perhaps even James Hagens.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Boston took another flier on a depth forward by adding Matej Blumel on a reported one-year pact later in the afternoon. Blumel could have a higher ceiling than known quantities like Kuraly and Eyssimont after a monster AHL campaign (39 G in 67 GP) with the high-powered Texas Stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Between the 25-year-old and his new veteran teammates, the Bruins’ bottom six could look very different in 2025-26.</p>
