On the Boston Bruins …
Shawn Hutcheon: Bruins GM Don Sweeney on their free agents: “I’ve stayed in contact. I think the goaltending one is probably going in a different direction at this point but I’ve stayed in contact with all of them.”
Shawn Hutcheon: Sweeney in Rick Nash: “He needs to take all the time necessary to make whatever decision he wants to make for he and his family. I respect the hell out of the decision that he’s made, whether or not that’s going to change between now and whenever.
