The Boston Bruins Are Set To Make A Surprising Trade
Amidst Jake DeBrusk's struggles this season, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic suggests that the Boston Bruins could benefit from targeting a scoring winger, steering away from the potentially costly pursuits of Elias Lindholm or Noah Hanifin.
While acknowledging the financial challenges of acquiring a player of Lindholm's caliber, Shinzawa points out that adding a winger might not demand a significant investment.
Insights from Shinzawa highlight potential opportunities in the trade market, with teams like the Sharks, Chicago Blackhawks, and Anaheim Ducks potentially making players available before the March 8 trade deadline.
This could open the door for the Bruins to explore options like Anthony Duclair, Tyler Johnson, or Adam Henrique, all of whom are impending unrestricted free agents.
Considering the Bruins' current success, an offseason signing of Lindholm or Hanifin might be a more viable path, as disrupting the roster with significant moves during the season could be a risky proposition.
As the trade market evolves, the Bruins will weigh their options carefully to enhance their lineup without jeopardizing their current momentum.
