Because of that, don't be surprised to see the Boston Bruins linked to almost any available player on the trade market. That includes Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who they were also interested in last season before acquiring Hampus Lindholm.
Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong has made it clear what he wants for a return, which is two firsts and a second or a good prospect. It's hard to believe that any of the teams listed, besides Ottawa, have such assets.
After missing the first 16 games of the season due to injury, the 24-year-old has registered three goals, 10 assists, a plus-8 rating and 56 shots.
