Report: Bruins Tried To Land Eric Staal At Trade Deadline.

Boston Bruins general manager Don�Sweeney is never one to shy away from making a trade deadline deal.�

This year he hooked up with the Minnesota Wild and landed Charlie Coyle, however it seems he was trying to do something bigger.�

According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, Sweeney came extremely close to landing veteran Eric Staal.�

While Sweeney sent over Ryan Donato and a 5th round pick for Coyle, Sweeney was willing to send over Sean Kuraly and the Bruins' 2019 first round pick for Staal.�

Wild GM Paul�Fenton didn't feel it was enough and ended up signing Staal to an extension instead.�

Would this have been a good trade for the Bruins' cup run?
