The Boston Bruins and GM Don Sweeney have been perennial playoff contenders, and won the President's Trophy in 2022-2023, with Jim Montgomery.
Fast forward to 2024-2025, and the team has had to come from behind and keep the season alive.
That involved firing Jim Montgomery and hiring Joe Sacco. And this couldn't be the last move the Bruins make, as they could trade forwards Fabian Lysell, and Trent Frederic.
Frederic has been a disappointment this season, scoring 11 points( 5 G, 6 A) in 38 games with the Bruins. This is a disappointing decline from last year which saw him score 40 points( 18 G, 22 A).
The Bruins and Frederic have yet to come to terms on a contract and is a pending UFA at the end of this season.
If the team were to lose Frederic for a bag of pucks, it would be a tough loss as the team would be losing a gritty forward, and a depth scoring option. Without assets to recoup, GM Don Sweeney will have essentially failed if he doesn't make a deal with the interest surrounding the forward.
The team could also deal first-round selection Fabian Lysell, who has plenty of upside to offer a rebuilding team.
Lysell was selected 21st overall in the 1st round of the 2021 NHL draft and has been a staple in the P-Bruins lineup.
Lysell has played the last three seasons in Providence and has earned himself a call-up in the NHL in our opinion. If GM Don Sweeney isn't going to give him a shot, he should be dealt for assets which will continue the team's ongoing philosophy of buying talent in order to win a Stanley Cup.
Since the team doesn't develop talent like it used to(Marchand, Bergeron, etc.).
