The Boston Bruins are in salary cap trouble. There have already been trade rumors of the team shopping Jake DeBrusk to free up cap space.
The Bruins need eight roster spots to fill and they have very limited cap space. The B’s have $4,937,500 left to fill spots and they will be looking for cheap players to sign.
Bruins interested in signing defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Jeff Marek was on his 32 Thoughts Podcast and stated that with the buyout of Oliver-Ekman Larsson, the Bruins should be all over on signing him. Boston needs cheap players and Ekman-Larsson should be #1 on their list.
Marek went on to say in his podcast hit that Oliver Ekman-Larsson has interest in signing with the Bruins and they should be able to sign him on a minimal salary if there is mutual interest from both parties?
What are Bruins fans saying about a potential signing of Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Since the Canucks are paying him with the buyout, maybe the Bruins can scoop him up for 800k.
He will be signing with the Tampa Bay Lightning and not the Bruins.
No matter who the Bruins sign, they will have another first round exit!
