Contrary to an early report on Wednesday morning, the Bruins are still trying to work out a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes to bring Ray Whitney to Boston, according to a source.
The hang-up still seems to be Whitney's desire for an extension with any team that acquires him. The 37-year-old (who will be 38 by the end of the playoffs) has reportedly been looking for a two- or three-year extension.
The Bruins could be trying to negotiate a package for Whitney and defenseman Joe Corvo.
