Offer remains outstanding to Oleg Saprykin

"We continue to wait for Oleg Saprykin, and/or his representatives, to respond to our previously submitted contract proposal," Bruins GM Joshua Anderson stated when pressed on any moves he foresaw related to the Club.

"We believe Oleg wants to return to Boston, but is stalling to maximize the value he gets out of this deal - essentially, how short of a "year" can he get credit for?" Anderson continued. "I cannot say I blame him - I mean, he is hanging out with Russian strippers, who wouldn't enjoy that? - but really, if he wants to return to the club and be accepted by his teammates, we should get this done sooner than later."

No current active Bruins players would discuss Saprykin's potential return and stalling tactics, which is perhaps an even larger damning than if any had commented.
