Insider reveals what the Boston Bruins are expected to receive for a return on their top trade candidates
After a busy day working the phones for Don Sweeney by trading Trent Frederic, it appears he and the Boston Bruins are not finished yet with making trades before Friday's March 7 NHL trade deadline, and a Bruins reporter has now revealed what they'll be receiving for their other trade candidates.
The Boston Bruins caught everybody off guard on Tuesday, when they made a large announcement to the media that nobody expected.
Don Sweeney kicked off the trade deadline frenzy with a bomb, by trading 27-year old Trent Frederic to the Edmonton Oilers, in exchange for 21-year old Max Wanner and two draft picks.
This deal alongside recent rumors surrounding the Bruins franchise has lead many to believe that the organization, lead by GM Sweeney, are set to be sellers at the deadline.
Despite being just two points out of a Wildcard spot in the NHL's Eastern Conference, Sweeney seems to have thrown in the towel, which shows a lack of belief in the team he iced this season for head coach Jim Montgomery, and now Joe Sacco to lead.
Several trade assets in play for the Boston Bruins, per report
According to Brett Howard of the OnlyBruins podcast, the Bruins are expected to get a boatload of draft capitals in exchange for their core-group.
Howard speculates that Brandon Carlo, Justin Brazeau and also Morgan Geekie will fetch low to high draft picks, have a look:
it's hard to tell...but from information gathered and trade comps, somewhere around this:
Carlo: 1st, high level prospect and/or young player
Frederic: 2nd & 3rd/4th (injury in play)
Brazeau: 3rd
Geekie: 1st & prospect and/or young player
Carlo: 1st, high level prospect and/or young player
Frederic: 2nd & 3rd/4th (injury in play)
Brazeau: 3rd
Geekie: 1st & prospect and/or young player
Howard also revealed the teams taking a look at what the Bruins currently have to offer, and it features a few rivals.
The trade of Trent Frederic today has certainly sparked controversy in Boston, and the reports of a lump sum of trades incoming will also surely do so, but at this point in time, Bruins fans have to put their trust into Don Sweeney.
