The Boston Bruins have some time off thanks to postponed games and the holiday break.
This gives the team some extra time to practice and extra time for general manager Don Sweeney to field some trade calls.
Sweeney said before the break that he's been active however teams are hesitant to make moves because of losing so many players to COVID.
However one team is basically giving a forward away and it seems Sweeney might be interested.
According to Bruins' insider Joe Haggerty, Arizona Coyotes' forward Phil�Kessel is in play for the Bruins.
"In fact, according to numerous sources, Armstrong would even eat part of what remains of the final $8 million cap hit from Kessel's contract. If the Bruins can somehow grant Jake DeBrusk's trade request, despite all he continues to do to decrease his trade value, could Kessel replace him in the middle six forward group and become that scoring threat they so desperately need there?
Imagine the irony of the Bruins acquiring Kessel, whom they drafted during the 2006 NHL Entry Draft weekend, and re-signing goalie Tuukka Rask, whom they acquired from the Leafs at that same draft?"
DeBrusk and a mid round draft pick for Kessel at a fraction of his cap hit?
Would you make this trade?
