Boston Bruins set to trade for three-time Stanley Cup Champion superstar
The Boston Bruins forward group is looking a bit thin, the most recent decision of sending Matthew Poitras to the AHL seemed inadvisable.
However, there's been news of a fire sale in Pittsburgh, as everyone has been made available by GM Kyle Dubas.
The same Dubas who had been unable to build a team that could defeat the Bruins, and now Don Sweeney could do some major wheeling and dealing which could bolster the Bruin's forward core.
One of these three players the Bruins should target with precision is Russian center Evgenii Malkin.
Not only does it create a deeper lineup down the middle, but you have a veteran presence who has won cups in the NHL.
While Don Sweeney would have to find a way to fit his cap hit in the organization, if Sweeney should be able to make it work somehow. The major positive of this would be if the Bruins do make a trade, they would still control his rights for a year at he's paid a handsome $6.1 million AAV.
The Penguins are expecting NHLers in return for players, and with news of Brandon Carlo, Trent Frederic, and Morgan Geekie being in trade talks, could they be a package deal?
It's a good idea that Dubas will ask for assets including, someone like Geekie or Frederic should the deal go through.
The cost may be high, but considering the fact it costs money to make it to the playoffs every year, it's assumed Sweeney has Jeremy Jacobs backing to make intriguing moves like this one.
Malkin will be going to the highest-bidder, and if I wanted to win, the Bruins should target Malkin before anyone else.
