Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron will either retire or return to Boston next season.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Bergeron addressed rumors that he might consider playing elsewhere and shot them down.
“No,” Bergeron said flatly. “I’ve been here for my whole career. Obviously, [Boston] is a special place for me. It’s not on my mind right now. I just need to take time and regroup.”
Bergeron has spent 18 seasons with the Bruins dating back to 2003-04. During that time, he has amassed 400 goals and 582 assists, including 25 goals and 40 assists this season.
