Bruins Covet Skinner for Scoring Punch
The Bruins circle Jeff Skinner like a shark smelling blood in the water, eyeing the veteran sniper as their low-risk fix for top-nine firepower. Don Sweeney runs a tight ship with cap constraints, but Skinner's UFA status means a league-min minimum prove-it deal slots right in without breaking the bank. With Zacha and Lindholm nursing injuries, Boston craves a finisher who thrives off playmakers, and Skinner's pedigree screams rebound potential for a wild-card squad gunning to retool on the fly.
