Loui Eriksson reportedly has a half-dozen suitors, but the Boston Bruins are apparently amenable to increasing their offer.

Six teams have contacted Eriksson's representative, J.P. Barry, about the pending unrestricted free-agent winger, WEEI's DJ Bean reports.

The Bruins have been reluctant to offer the 30-goal scorer more than four years, but a source told Bean on Sunday that the club is willing to give him more than that on a deal with a lower average annual value.

Eriksson's camp reportedly believes he'll fetch at least five years on the open market.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Thursday that he planned to take one more shot at signing Eriksson, but he acknowledged a reunion may not happen.

TVA's Renaud Lavoie reported on the same day that the two sides weren't close on an extension, and that Eriksson appeared likely to hit free agency July 1.

The window for teams to negotiate with pending UFAs opened Saturday at midnight.
