Don Sweeney, it appears, is playing his cards close to his chest this trade deadline.
With the trade frenzy seemingly beginning on Sunday night and continuing on Monday, the only sound from Boston was silence, or failing that, denial. Sweeney has already said the Bruins "probably" won't make a move before the clock ticks past the deadline on Wednesday, which has been greeted with a mixed response in New England.
On the one hand, the B's have only lost one game since Bruce Cassidy took over from Claude Julien, and are playing with a verve and speed not seen in these parts in a long time.
