PHILADELPHIA — Bruins fans should not be holding their breath that winger Jarome Iginla will be back next season.

Wandering the halls of the Wells Fargo Center during this weekend’s entry draft, the consensus opinion of agents and other hockey insiders is there is little or no chance the B’s can bring Iginla back.

When the free agent market opens Tuesday, it’s likely Iginla — even at age 37 — will receive one or more offers of a three-year contract, likely paying close to $5 million per year. For the Bruins to match a deal like that, they’d have to strip their team of at least one or two veteran players — maybe the likes of Johnny Boychuk and Chris Kelly. It’s hard to see them doing that.

Tight against the $69 million salary cap, the best the B’s can offer the unrestricted free agent-to-be is a deal comparable to what he had this past season — $1.8 million in guaranteed base pay, and then some $3.7 million in performance bonuses. As much as Iginla might love staying in Boston, that contract would be a tremendous risk it’s hard to see him taking.

General manager Peter Chiarelli hinted the door may not be slammed shut.

“We’re still talking with Jarome — to his agent, Don (Meehan),” he said. “I spoke with him here (yesterday). I don’t usually comment on negotiations, but we’re still talking. We’ll see where it goes.”

Caron could be out

Chiarelli announced the team has extended qualifying offers to 10-of-11 restricted free agents: Reilly Smith, Torey Krug, Matt Bartkowski, Justin Florek, Tommy Cross, Dennis Cunningham, Matt Fraser, Tyler Randell, Zach Trotman and David Warsofsky.

They did not offer one to winger Jordan Caron, the 2009 first-rounder, though he still may get qualified if the B’s are unable to move him to a team for which he’ll have a better chance to play. In four seasons, he’s played just 123 NHL games, with 12-16-28 production.

“He’s still young,” Chiarelli said of the 23-year-old. “He’s been in and out of our lineup. In fairness to him, we’ve looked for another (team) for him. We told him we were doing it. He wants to stay in Boston, but at his age he wants to play on a regular basis.”

The kids are alright

There were many youngsters selected whose fathers played in the NHL, including Ted Donato’s son Ryan, who went to the Bruins in Round 2. Ryan Donato said his parents were even more excited than he was.

“I think my mom (Jeannine) was even more excited than my dad,” he said. “When my name was called, I knew she was going to bawl. So I had to give her a quick hug and get out of there, so it wasn’t too embarrassing for the cameras.”

Other legacy picks included Brendan Lemieux, who was picked with the first selection of the second round by the Buffalo Sabres. His dad, Claude, was a nemesis of Cam Neely. The junior Lemieux, who like his dad is both a good talent and a grating agitator, posted 27-26-53 totals in 65 games for the OHL’s Barrie Colts, with 145 penalty minutes.

Later in Round 2 at No. 43, Phoenix took center Ryan MacInnis, son of former NHL blueline great Al MacInnis. Dominic Turgeon, son of ex-NHL standout Pierre, went to Detroit in Round 3. Ex-Bruin Glen Wesley’s son, Josh, was tabbed by Carolina in the fourth round (96th).

By the numbers

Some interesting numbers from Friday’s Round 1: There were 10 players from Ontario Hockey League teams picked, and nine from the Western Hockey League. Just one was from the QMJHL. There were five guys who played in Sweden (including top Bruins pick David Pastrnak) and one in Finland. There were four from the USHL, which included three who were with the U.S. national development program.

In the overall draft, the OHL led with 41 players picked, while the WHL had 37, the USHL 30, and the Swedish league 21. There were 77 Canadian players picked and 67 Americans.

Next year’s draft, which could see three Boston-area youngsters — Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifan and Colin White — taken among the first half-dozen picks, will be in Sunrise, Fla.

The Flyers fans who mostly filled the arena lived up to their reputations for obnoxiousness, at least when commissioner Gary Bettman was on stage. He was passionately booed throughout the day, but handled it with some humor, quipping, “I thought this was the City of Brotherly Love.”
