According to reporter Carter Brooks of The Hockey News, he reported that an inside source close to the team says the Bruins may be preparing to offer Wheeler a professional tryout (PTO) as the former Ranger is looking for a new contract.
Last season with the Rangers he scored 9 goals and 13 assists for 21 points in 54 games.
There are many players that should be on PTO's this season to prove themselves, but a former captain and someone who has proven himself in the NHL as a top-6 and bottom-6 player should be able to just sign for league minimum and that is what the Bruins should do.
