A lot of Boston Bruins players have been involved in trade rumours this year, and now Elliotte Friedman has revealed three players the Bruins are more then likely to trade at the NHL trade deadline.
The NHL trade deadline is just four days away, and the Boston Bruins are definitely going to be a busy team this year.
Although they are going to be busy, it's not for good reasons as they are going to be looking to sell off some players and begin their retool.
With how inconsistent the Bruins have been this year, it's clear that it's time for the team to start their rebuild after being competitive for so long.
The Boston Bruins could still make the playoffs, as they sit just two points out of a
wildcard spot right now, but every other team fighting for a spot has games in hand on the Bruins, and it's just not in their favor.
Friedman Believes Three Bruins Will Get Traded
Elliotte Friedman stated in his 32 Thoughts podcast today that he believes
Trent Frederic will 100% be traded, and also stated that
Justin Brazeau and
Morgan Geekie are other players that could be on the move.
On Boston: Elliotte thinks Frederic gets moves, Brazeau and Geekie possible too. Team is talking about dealing rentals but what can they add long term. He also thinks they put some names out on the market to see their value. Still working on Marchand extension. #NHLBruins #NHL
Frederic has had a down year with the Bruins, scoring just 8 goals, and 7 assists for 15 points in 57 games this year.
Brazeau has been a solid depth player for the Bruins scoring 10 goals, and 10 assists for 20 points in 56 games, but the Bruins have been receiving a lot of calls regarding him and it's unlikely he will be apart of the Bruins organization after the NHL trade deadline.
Geekie on the other hand is a tough one for the Bruins. He has proved he can be a scoring winger, and his chemistry with
David Pastrnak is going to make it difficult for the Bruins to trade.
Fans have also come to love Geekie in Boston, but if they aren't sure they can sign him in the off-season, there is a good chance he will be on the move.
