"The Boston Bruins will have a lot of assets once the trade deadline comes around. They have a plethora of draft pick, and the Boston Globe writes that they also have youngsters, like Tuukka Rask, Blake Wheeler, Mark Stuart, and Matt Hunwick, that might also serve as trade bait.
So today the Boston Herald writes, "Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, with a bundle of high picks in the next two entry drafts, will have enormous flexibility to acquire an impact player before the March 3 trading deadline -- the sort of acquisition that, for many teams, has been the catalyst of a championship."
The Bruins will be looking for a top-six forward, and the Globe speculates that Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk may be available so the Bruins might get in on the fun. Other possible targets include Teemu Selanne, Ray Whitney, Paul Kariya and Alexander Frolov (ESPN)."
We have been hearing rumors for awhile. Even though I would love to see a guy like Kovalchuk on the Bruins, what they would have to give up (Wheeler/Rask) wouldn't be worth it. If I was the Bruins I would look to older players that they could rent for a season, and trade draft picks. Guys I would be look at would be players like Selanne, and Keith Tkachuk.
