Analysis:

Eriksson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent July 1 if the Bruins can't re-sign him, but there appears to be a degree of mutual interest in a deal to keep the veteran winger in Boston. "We'd like to try and sign him, as we've said, but it certainly has to make sense for both sides," Neely noted Wednesday. "For Loui's position, you don't get too many kicks at the can where you're unrestricted, and I think it's really a matter of if he feels like we've offered him something he can't turn down, then he'd take it. If not, then he's going to see what's out there."
