Trading Tuukka Rask would be a huge mistake by the Bruins

Over the long history of the Boston Bruins, general managers have done some pretty dumb things to ‘improve’ their hockey team.

Trading Joe Thronton, giving up on Tyler Seguin, turning the return from that Seguin trade into Jimmy Hayes, trading a young Ken Dryden to the Habs...all of these reek of colossal shortsightedness in a league not well known for foresight.

However, trading Tuukka Rask could actually rank higher on the idiocy scale as rumors swirl that Don Sweeney has been quietly shopping the Bruins’ starting goaltender to find out his value, with a vocal segment of the Bruins fandom on various social media platforms applauding a potential move to ship Rask out of Boston.
