NHL Rumors: Boston Bruins, and the Vancouver Canucks

Joe McDonald of Athletic: Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask has a year left on his contract and he’s not thinking retirement just yet.

“Winning drives me,” he said. “I haven’t put a number into it that what age it might be, but we’ll see. Maybe it’s 36, or 37. Maybe it’s 42. Maybe I’ll be the goalie who plays to 45; maybe not.”

Rask is using this time to focus on his family and not worry about his contract, that will come in the offseason.

“I know this summer I can start talking to the Bruins about a possible extension and when that day comes we’ll see what happens, but I definitely haven’t put any thought into retirement.
