The Bruins will have to be a bit creative, but they're not going to be forced to make a dumb hockey move just for cap space.

Even with Savard on LTIR, the key will be how much Rask signs for. Assuming Rask averages out at $6M (which could be high, I don't know), and filling out the roster (back-up goalie, 13th forward), for every new dollar that Vinnie signs for they'll have to remove an existing dollar (give or take about $750k).
Long story short, I doubt Vinnie ends up in Boston.
