Bruins Having Contract Talks With Rick Nash.

"We're going to have follow-up conversations this week," Sweeney told the Boston Globe. "I hope to have a clear understanding as to where that necessarily ends. Rick indicated that when he came to Boston that he was excited about the opportunity, and he wants to win."

"He felt badly, and certainly he is not responsible for this because he got injured," Sweeney said. "And it took away a little juice for him. He missed time down the stretch and jumping right into the playoffs."
