The Bruins are keeping their options with Eriksson open in advance of Monday's NHL trade deadline, CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, the B's have already made Eriksson a contract offer within the last couple of days, with negotiations on that front expected to continue Friday. One potential sticking point may end up being the length of the deal Boston is comfortable with offering, given that Eriksson will turn 31 this July. If the Bruins and the veteran winger can't come to terms on a new deal in short order, trading Eriksson -- who is on pace for 30-plus goals and 70 points this season -- would have to be a serious consideration for the team, with optimal asset management in mind.
