The Bruins bolstered their depth ahead of Friday’s NHL trade deadline, adding a third-pairing defenseman in Andrew Peeke and a fourth-line bruiser in Pat Maroon.
But according to several reports, the Bruins were trying to orchestrate a larger deal involving the reigning Vezina Trophy winner in Linus Ullmark.
According to Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, the Bruins were unable to strike a deal with the Kings that would have sent Ullmark out west.
“Fascinating day for #NHLBruins, sounds like they had a deal on the table to move G Linus Ullmark to #LAKings that didn’t end up crossing the finish line,” Seravalli posted on X.
