Boston Bruins

Both of the Boston Bruins goaltenders Tukka Rask (34), and Jaroslav Halak (36) are unrestricted free agents this summer.

It is unclear if Boston wants to bring either goaltender back due to age, and injury history.  However, if they do bring back either of them, it will likely be Rask as he has stated he doesn’t want to play for anyone else.

If the team doesn’t feel the same way, management might look for someone new to wear the black, and gold as the number one goaltender in Boston.

The management team in Boston will have close to $27 million to work with this off-season. That is a lot of cap space for a team that doesn’t have many holes to fill in their line-up.

Goaltending is their biggest concern this off-season, and they have more than enough cap space to give Andersen the $5+ million he might be looking for. They could even sign him with enough money left over to re-sign Rask to be his backup.

If Rask can get fully healthy, a tandem of him, and Andersen would be a huge benefit to the Bruins.

Playing with the Bruins would also allow Andersen to play plenty of games against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and try to prove that they made a mistake by letting him go.

So, will Andersen join the Bruins this off-season? Will he stay in Toronto? Will he try his luck with the Penguins, Capitals, or Predators? Only time will tell.
