On Mar. 19, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made another headlining move at the trade deadline: acquiring defenseman Hampus Lindholm from the Anaheim Ducks.
With question marks at the second-line center position and Jake DeBrusk’s outstanding trade request, the Bruins appeared ready for a busy day heading into the 3 p.m. deadline on Mar. 21.
“Certainly the calls have picked up in the last day or so,” Sweeney said in a media availability one day after acquiring Lindholm. “Certainly heading into today and tomorrow [it] will be a little bit more frantic.”
Sweeney’s latest deadline activity was four months in the making.
