Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic: The Boston Bruins need a left-shooting defenseman. Ryan Suter fits that bill. He can be had for cheap since the defenseman was bought out. This seems too easy. Right?
Again, Suter can shoot the puck a good deal and get it on the net. Boston could use that. He is 36 but again, Boston has a defensive core that can shield him a bit better than most teams. Let’s be honest.
If Boston does not choose Suter, then the prices of an Alec Martinez or Jamie Oleksiak drop, and that could be the even more palatable secondary plan.
