Grade the Deadline: Bruins stand pat on Deadline Day, stick with previous acquisitions

Today’s NHL Trade Deadline came and went without anything further from the Bruins, giving us a quiet deadline for what seems like the first time in quite a while.

Of course, it was only Deadline Day itself that was quiet for the Bruins, as GM Don Sweeney got all of his work done in advance and was able to take it easy on Friday.

Let’s take a look at what Dealin’ Don got done this year.

Trade 1: Orr-lov and Hathaway

Bruins acquire: D Dmitry Orlov, F Garnet Hathaway, F Andrei Svetlakov

Bruins give up: F Craig Smith, 2023 first-round draft pick, 2023 fifth-round draft pick, 2024 third-round draft pick, 2025 second-round draft pick

This was the Bruins’ big move this season, and it’s already looking like it’ll pay significant dividends.
