Don Sweeney and the Bruins have no shortage of options between now and the NHL’s trade deadline on March 8.
With Boston currently mired in a 4-4-5 slump since the All-Star break, the case can be made that the Bruins should stand pat and ride things out with this roster as currently constituted (while incorporating younger, internal talent).
Sweeney could also opt to sell off assets for draft capital or prospects, especially if it’s a player who doesn’t factor into the franchise’s long-term plans.
Still, Boston sits in second place in the Atlantic Division with a 35-13-14 record (84 points).
