The Boston Bruins are reportedly evaluating a potential move for veteran left wing Chris Kreider after his contract with the Anaheim Ducks was terminated this week. The 35-year-old two-time All-Star recorded 22 goals and 28 assists over 75 games for Anaheim last season. Having spent the first 13 years of his career with the New York Rangers, the Boxborough native and Boston College product has expressed interest in returning to the East Coast. While Boston possesses $5.3 million in available salary cap space, any addition could create a roster crunch among their current top-six forward group. The organization faces decisions regarding existing players, including potential roster moves for Matt Poitras, as they prepare for the upcoming training camp.
