Two of the last three seasons at the trade deadline, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has traded away the team’s first-round draft pick.
In 2018, Sweeney sent the Bruins pick to the New York Rangers in a deal that brought Rick Nash to Boston. Last season, he dealt the 2020 first-round pick out West to the Anaheim Ducks in a deal that brought in right wing Ondrej Kase.
