Today it was reported that the New Jersey Devils will be open to moving their 10th overall pick in this years NHL Entry Draft and the Boston Bruins should be all over this.
At this years draft the Bruins currently don't hold a pick until the fourth-round, being able to acquire a draft pick in the first-round and being a top 10 pick at that, this should be a no brainer for the Boston Bruins.
The Boston Bruins are getting older, and a rebuild will be on the horizon soon. They already have one of the worst prospect pools in the NHL, adding someone with a top 10 caliber of a player would be huge for the Bruins.
Don Sweeney has been known for some of his horrendous drafting decisions before especially during the 2015 draft, you just hope that if the Bruins do acquire this 10th overall pick that Sweeney makes the right decision.
Linus Ullmark is the most sought after goaltender on the trade block this year, winning a Vezina Trophy last year and having some solid numbers, the Bruins shouldn't have a problem making this trade happen.
Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald spoke with NHL.com and stated that their first-round pick could be in play for the right package.
Do you think it would be smart for the Bruins to trade Linus Ullmark for the 10th overall pick?
