Montreal Canadiens' defenseman Ben Chiarot has long been the subject of trade talk this season. He topped the list of players to watch on TSN's very first Trade Bait board of the season on December 7...

...and this week finds himself at #2:
In terms of teams that are pursuing Chiarot, Insider Frank Seravalli reported this morning on the Daily Faceoff podcast that he believes at least two teams are likely out on Chiarot and they're both Canadian teams: Calgary and Toronto.
I think Calgary is out now. I don't think they can afford the acquisition cost, and I don't think he's number one or two or three on Toronto's list.

Speaking of Calgary and acquisition cost, if the price the Flames paid to acquire winger Tyler Toffoli last week is any indication, then a highly sought after, stay-at-home, pending-UFA defenseman like Ben Chiarot is going to yield a high return for a Montreal Canadiens team that is rebuilding its' roster.
The questions for Bruins fans are:
1. Is the cost vs. return analysis favorable for the Bruins when it comes to acquiring Chiarot?
2. Which assets go the other way?
3. What do the Bruins' defense pairing look like if Chiarot is added?
Have your say!
