The Boston Bruins appear to be in on the Steven Stamkos sweepstakes.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Saturday his club will inquire about the Tampa Bay Lightning forward, according to ESPN's Joe McDonald.
Stamkos is set to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, but the negotiating period for teams to talk with pending UFAs began Saturday.
Meanwhile, Sweeney also noted the team could revisit the idea of bringing back forward Milan Lucic.
The 28-year-old spent the first eight years of his career with the Bruins, but was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for goaltender Martin Jones.
The Kings gave permission to the rest of the NHL's 29 teams to negotiate a contract with Lucic earlier in the week.
