NHL rumors: Bruins discussing new contract with middle-6 forward ahead of free agency

The Boston Bruins are scheduled to have nine unrestricted free agents this offseason, and they will not be able to keep all of them, but general manager Don Sweeney is expected to meet with Danton Heinen's camp this week to start discussions on a potential new contract, according to David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period. It was unknown what free agents the Bruins truly would be prioritizing this offseason, but it appears that Danton Heinen is one of them and they would like to have him around next season at the very least.
