Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports: It makes sense that the Boston Bruins are interested Columbus Blue Jackets Artemi Panarin. Panarin is a scoring winger, a playmaker and that the Bruins need.
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy on the trade deadline early this week brought up last year when they needed a winger for David Krejci and they traded for Rick Nash. Cassidy in a “joking fashion” brought up Artemi Panarin.
It’s not sounding like Boston would be a free agent destination for Panarin.
To acquire Panarin in a trade the Blue Jackets may be looking for someone like Jake DeBrusk and a top pick.
