Intesting couple of quotes from Bruins' GM Peter Chiarelli...
“We are at a point where (salary) cap-wise we are coming close to the end so there has to be some shuffling. I’m not adverse to that and we still have another player to sign in Phil Kessel [stats]. Summer is not done yet.”
Chiarelli believes he has enough wiggle room under the $56.8 million salary cap to get Kessel onboard.
“I like where we are because we have for the most part our team in place,” he said. “Cap-wise we are getting up there, but certainly Phil is a player that if there comes a point where we have to make a move to get him in the mix I will certainly do that (Boston Herald).”
This is the first time this offseason that the Bruins have shown any interesting in bringing Kessel back next season. If Chiarelli thinks he can get this done then I believe him. Like I said in the past couple of Bruins' posts there is not a big market left for Kessel, so the Bruins might be able to get him to lower his asking price...
