Bruins And Flames Complete A Trade: NHL Executive Drops A Bomb
At the beginning of the week, reports surfaced indicating that Sweeney initiated his pursuit of a defenseman within the NHL trade market.
The Bruins have faced recent defensive challenges, particularly in terms of physicality on the blue line and their ability to thwart opposing rushes over the past ten games.
Additionally, concerns arose regarding the number of goals conceded in their most recent five games, sparking speculation about Sweeney's strategic moves.
Addressing these defensive shortcomings, the Bruins may find value in securing assistance on the blue line. This potential transaction is anticipated to be a significant move for the team.
Notably, Noah Hanifin, currently serving as a defensive cornerstone for the Flames, has been mentioned as a potential target.
