Islanders' Boychuk on returning to Bruins as UFA: 'I wouldn't close that door'
Bob DeChiara / USA TODAY Sports
New York Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk says returning to the Boston Bruins as an unrestricted free agent next summer isn't out of the realm of possibility.
"I wouldn't close that door," Boychuk told CSNNE on Sunday. "It's such an awesome place and awesome team. Everything is awesome."
The veteran blue-liner literally sung the praises of the city where he spent six of his seven NHL seasons.
And yes Johnny Boychuk did sing "Everything is Awesome" like the song from the Lego Movie while saying that. What a beauty #BruinsTalk

The Islanders acquired Boychuk from the Bruins on Saturday for two second-round draft picks and a conditional third-rounder.
