Are the Bruins about to make a splash?
Boston has been mentioned in various rumors ahead of NHL free agency, which is scheduled to begin at noon ET on Friday. From reportedly being in on Oliver Ekman-Larsson to possibly shopping their own players, the Bruins clearly aren't willing to stand pat after a second-round exit in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
And then there's this note from The Boston Globe's Matt Porter:
Now, we've heard these kind of rumors about the Bruins in the past, only for Boston to either fall short of or reject a potential blockbuster addition. Whether this time will be any different remains to be seen.
