Dreger: Jarome Iginla likely to remain with Boston Bruins past this season

With 28 goals and 30 assists through 72 games, Jarome Iginla seems to have fit in quite nicely with the Boston Bruins. As such, it appears as though there is mutual interest in extending his deal past his one-year contract with the club.

According to Darren Dreger of TSN, "Peter Chiarelli, the Bruins general manager, reached out to Don Meehan from Newport Sports last week. There's been no official back-and-forth in terms of dialogue or a negotiation and the reality is that the Bruins don't have the tag room or the cap space to close this deal in-season."

He added "Chiarelli and the Bruins want to extend Iginla's stay. He loves Boston. They love him in Boston. I think a deal gets done."

Iginla, of course, will be even happier if he's able to win that elusive Stanley Cup while in Boston.
