Report: Bruins Out Of Jack Eichel Race.
The Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney aren't scared to pull off a big move if they really believe in it.�
They've added parts throughout the years and moved picks because they always believe they've got a chance at another Stanley Cup.�
However it seems they won't be looking to land this offseason's big prize.�
According to Fluto Shinzawa of the Athletic, while the Bruins would love to add Jack�Eichel to their lineup they're not willing to roll the dice based on his salary, lack of playoff success and health issues.�
"The Bruins have a need for Eichel. They need a top-line center to succeed Krejci and Bergeron, both 35. The North Chelmsford native could thrive in his home market. It would do the 24-year-old well to learn under Bergeron for at least one season. The ex-Boston University Terrier would join Matt Grzelcyk, his former college teammate.
But Eichel was sidelined with a serious neck injury. Player and organization disagreed on his treatment. His next playoff appearance will be his first.
Projection: The Bruins pass because of the uncertainty of Eichel's health. A $10 million player has to be a sure thing."
Do you think Eichel would have been a good fit for the Bruins?
