At first glance, the Bruins don’t necessarily seem like a team equipped to reel off a blockbuster move before the NHL’s March 8 trade deadline.
Boston currently only has $61,558 of available cap space (per CapFriendly), limiting just how much leeway Don Sweeney and his staff have to make moves without subtracting from the NHL roster.
Years of win-now moves have also sapped away at Boston’s cupboard of draft capital — with Boston currently not on the clock until the fourth round of the 2024 NHL Draft.
The Bruins might have the means to add some heft to its blue line or checking unit before March 8.
