Rask is still recovering from offseason hip surgery in preparation for what he hopes will be his 15th NHL season, as you may know.
While he has stated that re-signing with the Bruins, with whom he has spent his whole career, it does not appear to be a Bruins or Bust issue, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman:
«I don't think it's Boston or bust. At least that's not the information that I've heard,» Friedman said on The Jeff Marek Show. «I've just heard the Bruins remain his No. 1 priority. Now, we'll see what happens, but that's just what I've heard.»

Rask would be an insane upgrade.
