Joe McDonald of the Athletic: (written before David Pastrnak’s injury) The Boston Bruins trade deadline priority is to find a second line winger or a third line center.
“There are a few holes in their lineup that (Bruins) would want veteran players to fill,” said the evaluator. “They would love to say the young players can do it, but they’re not ready for primetime yet.”
Acquiring Artemi Panarin would cost a lot. If acquired they do have players that might be able to persuade him to sign.
Another rental that the Bruins are looking at is Jakob Silfverberg of the Anaheim Ducks.
