Boston Bruins is an attractive team to view 8 March NHL trade before the deadline.
They are one of the best teams in the league, at least based on their records, and General Manager Don Sweeny has been one of the most active and successful general managers in the League almost a decade, when it comes to doing good tricks in this time of the year.
So, what are Bruce want to get?
“One thing about Boston, I think they are looking for a center. I think they are looking for a defenseman, “Sportsnet’s Ellidman said with the co-manben Jeff Marake during his” 32 ideas “podcast’s Friday episode.” He doesn’t have a pics, right? My feeling was how many times you (could make big tricks), but I had some people who pointed me, Bruns really have players that they can move. ,
This trade time limit is different from the previous one for Sweeni because he was rarely, if, if, if, if, if, the lack of draft capital, the possibilities of shortage and minimum wage cap space was this combination. Capfriendly currently has B with $ 57,500 cap space.
So if Bruce wants to upgrade real upgradation in his roster before the deadline of this trade, it may require business players from their own roster, which Sweeni rarely had to do. He is mostly able to add draft pics and possibilities to add veterans on the trading deadline.
“Teams believe that Bruce is trying to upgrade his roster,” Freedman said. “And all you have to do is what they are able to do and say, it is not coming out of the draft, does they really want to deal with their top possibilities, some of which have already played in NHL? I don’t think so. So if they want to change, it will probably have to remove it from their roster, and this is why I think people (Linnas) are looking at meteorks.
“Now, I don’t think it is impossible – it has some control – but the whole thing is that if Bruce is trying to win the Stanley Cup, why will you reduce your greatest strength? And the only thing I can think is that if they feel something like this then they feel that they feel that they feel that they just have to do so. But I am very kind to see what they will not forget to see here. There is some control, saying ‘sorry’ for some situations, I am trying to find out what they are trying to upgrade.
“Control” is talking about Freedman Ullmark, he is a no-trade clause in its contract. He can present a list of 16 teams that he will not accept a business, per capable.
A potential business target for Bruce is the Calgary Flames Defenseman Noah Hanifin, and I have already written many times why he will be a great fit in Boston. But the flames do not require a goalkeeper. He has Jacob Markstrom, who first seen overtime losses for flames for flames on Thursday night as fans of B, is actually a good goalkeeper. Until the flames move Markstrom, they have a zero reason for them to take on Ullmark and about $ 11 million in cap space dedicated to two experienced goals.
Ullmark has a cap of $ 5 million this season and next season. As this writing is just 15 teams with $ 5-plus million in the cap space, per calamley, and many of those clubs are down in standing. So even though Bruns were ready to trade Ullmark, how many teams would have to exclude) There is a strong requirement for a goalkeeper, b) Cap space to create this step, and c) will not fall on the no-trade list of ullmark? We do not know the answers to these questions, but they should be considered during this conversation.

Bruins’ goalkeeper Linus Ulmark has a salary cap of $ 5 million this season and next season.
So if Bruce is forced to trade with his roster, who are the potential candidates? Easy space to see is the upcoming UFAS, including Jake Debrook, Matt Grazelcech and Derek Forbort. It should be noted that there are no recent reports or business rumors involving these players, so these are pure speculation. The debens is the best of that bunch, but Bruce is still very thin on the wings. Therefore, if the debrook goes, its position automatically becomes even more required for B. The trading debrook makes very little understanding until one and the middle sixes come in Boston ahead.
When you add it, it is difficult to see Bruce pulling a major business. Sweeni is a smart boy, so if there is any way to do so, he will probably find it. But even in a scenario where some work is done, is it worth it for Bruce to carry forward its prospect pool and draft capital? Bruce does not have the first round pick in 2024, and until it changes, they will go without selecting five of the last seven drafts in round 1. It catches you at some point.
Given that Bruins are in standing, the right step for Sweeni is probably a minor upgrade on the blue line. Defensive depth still needs Bruce’s No. 1, especially with injuries to Hamps Lindhom and Grajalasic as well as forbort’s recent on-i-i conflicts.
Hanifin will be an ideal player to upgrade Boston’s blue line, but even an experienced third-ginger man would be an effective additional.
