Morning Skate: Close, but no cigar

One of the interesting parts of this offseason is how the Bruins have been linked to, interested in, rumored to be looking at just about everyone out there.

Taylor Hall, Tyler Toffoli, Mike Hoffman, Oliver Ekman-Larsson...you name it, they’re interested. Maybe even the front-runners!

As we all know, none of those “interests” has come to fruition, and while Craig Smith is a great signing, many fans are clamoring for more.

They’ll likely be more annoyed by the Bruins notes in Elliotte Friedman’s 31 Thoughts, among them:

  • Hall was “intrigued” by the Bruins, but the Bruins couldn’t commit without moving money.
