"I'm sure we're going to have good conversations with [Bruins general manager Don Sweeney] after this season and go from there," Rask said. "But I'm only 34 [when my contract expires after next season], so it's not too old. So I might play another year or two and then go from there.
"But I don't want to promise anything either way because you never know what's going to happen."
With the way things have changed in the world right now, Rask says he's not even thinking about the future and just focused on the now.�
"I haven't made any decision in any direction yet. Obviously, we're not even playing hockey right now, so that'll be in the future. But it's definitely not in my mind right now. Just trying to take care of the family as of now and go back to hockey whenever that happens and then go from there."
