Rask also stated that he is not looking for an expensive contract. That does help his chances of him returning, as the Bruins only have a little over $1 million of cap space, according to Cap Friendly.

"I have no reason to chase the money anymore and go somewhere else. I feel the Bruins are my home, Boston is my home ... The money won't be an issue."

Going into next season, the Bruins have recently signed Linus Ullmark and rookie Jeremy Swayman as their tandem. Therefore, a Rask signing may not be a real necessity, but it surely wouldn't be a bad thing. When healthy, he is one of the top goaltenders in the entire league.

Rask has spent the entirety of his 14-year NHL career with the Bruins. With them, he has a 306-163-66 record, .921 SV% and 2.27 GAA in 560 games. This past season was also another good one for the veteran, as he had a 15-5-2 record and .913 SV%.

We will have to wait and see if Rask once again is back in Boston next season.
