Bruins get upset with Taylor Hall’s latest report!

The Boston Bruins are calling TSN insider Darren Dreger a liar. On Tuesday night’s Insider Trading on TSN, Dreger explained how the Bruins cannot welcome forward Taylor Hall back from long-term injured reserve because they don’t have the cap space to facilitate such a roster move.

“We know, according to reports and video, that Hall has been skating with the Bruins for several days now. Sources say that he feels he is ready. The problem is the Bruins don’t have the cap space to activate Hall. Now the NHL playoffs are less than three weeks away so it’s going to be interesting to see how the Bruins manage this situation or, if like the Tampa Bay Lightning a few years ago, they try and stretch it out until the start of the postseason so it’s something that I’m sure other clubs are paying attention to as well.”

Head coach Jim Montgomery denied the reports, calling it a false, saying that Hall simply isn’t cleaned to return, and not held out for cap reasons, per Matt Porter.

Hall has been absent since February 25 thank to a lower body injury. When he was placed on LTRI, the Bruins were able to absorb the salary of Tyler Bertuzzi, whom they acquired in a swap with the Detroit Red Wings at the NHL trade deadline. Boston saved as much as $6 million by placing Hall on LTIR.

However, money is tight… That's the truth. Per Cap Friendly, Boston currently has just $39,062 in available cap space, which is far from enough to bring Hall back.

But sure Montgomery, it has nothing to do with money…
