It remains to be seen just how creative Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins will get before the March 8 NHL trade deadline.
Even though Boston could opt to stand pat given their limited cap space and dearth of assets, the Bruins might also try to find an avenue toward bolstering their team further down on the depth chart — especially on the third defensive pairing.
But with potential trade chips in place like Linus Ullmark and Jake DeBrusk, Sweeney and his staff do have the means to reel off a seismic trade before the deadline.
