It’s that time of the year again.
With the NHL trade deadline less than three weeks away (Mar. 21), the Boston Bruins will likely be looking for upgrades throughout the lineup to bolster a roster for another hopeful deep playoff run.
Finding a second-line center and/or another defenseman appears to make the most sense for general manager Don Sweeney as Patrice Bergeron’s unknown future and Boston’s defensive depth chart almost always seems to shrink in the postseason.
Sweeney made his first move of the trade deadline period on Feb. 22, acquiring the rights to Providence College captain Michael Callahan from the Arizona Coyotes for a 2024 seventh-round pick.
