The Bruins are currently mired by salary cap constraints, so much so that they are currently unable to activate former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall from his stint on long-term injured reserve.
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Hall has indicated that he feels ready to return from LTIR list, but Boston doesn't have the cap space to facilitate such a roster move.
“Sources say that he [Hall] feels that he is ready. The problem is the Bruins don’t have the cap space to activate Taylor Hall,” Dreger said Tuesday during an episode of TSN’s Insider Trading.
