For weeks now we've heard the Boston Bruins attached to forwards Wayne Simmonds and Artemi Panarin in trade rumors.�
Panarin would be the sniper the Bruins need to balance out their top 6, however he's likely the most expensive trade piece on the block at the moment.�
Yesterday Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic revealed that the Bruins would have to give up a first round pick, Trent Frederic and one of Ryan Donato or Urho Vaakanainen to land Panarin.�
That's likely a price way too expensive for general manager Don Sweeney's taste.�
Will the team focus on Simmonds?
Like Panarin, Simmonds is UFA after this season however would be cheaper to land in trade and cheaper to re-sign than Panarin.�
Sweeney likely wouldn't get into a bidding war with�Tampa, however the Bruins have more flexibility than the Lightning.�
It'll be an interesting story line to follow.�
