The Boston Bruins are looking to make a move before the upcoming NHL trade deadline.�

Lots of people want to see the Bruins go for the home run by adding Columbus Blue Jackets forward�Artemi Panarin, however it might not be possible.�

The cost to land Panarin has already been revealed according to�Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, the Blue Jackets are asking for a first round pick, Trent Frederic and one of Ryan Donato or Urho Vaakanainen.�

Quite the expensive haul for Panarin, however it might not be the cost that scares of the Bruins, rather it would be Panarin's latest comments.�

Panarin confirmed with reporters over the weekend that he wants to test free agency on July 1st.�

This likely means that if Panarin is moved at the deadline, he would just be a rental and wouldn't sign an extension with whatever team acquires him before seeing what other teams have to offer.�

After last year's Rick�Nash deal, this is likely not a risk that Bruins general manager Don Sweeney is likely to take.

Would you like to see Sweeney make the move regardless?
