The Boston Bruins may have suddenly decided to become a little more flexible in their negotiations with soon to be free agent forward Loui Eriksson but it may be too little too late.
According to a report from DJ Bean of WEEI the Bruins now have at least six other competitors for the talented forward's services.
As expected, teams have used the NHL’s free agency interview window to approach winger Loui Eriksson, who spent the last three seasons with the Bruins. As of Sunday evening, six teams had contacted Eriksson’s agent about the player.
During negotiations between the Bruins and Eriksson reports suggested that Boston was unwilling to commit to more than four years, now Bean is reporting that Boston would be willing to move on that number, although why they would have waited until now is unclear.
