According to the current RFA compensation thresholds, the Bruins would be on the hook for a first, second, and third-round pick if the AAV on Rossi’s offer sheet was $8.3 million.

Another method would be to sign a player to an offer sheet, something the B’s under Sweeney have not attempted. The Rangers’ Will Cuylle would be an obvious target, if New York lets him get there.

Boston Bruins center Jakub Lauko will not receive a qualifying offer and will become an unrestricted free agent as of July 1, reports Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
