As the first day of free agency approaches, Don Sweeney still has a couple of holes to fill. One is a top-four left shot defenseman. The other, a top-six left winger to play alongside David Krejci.
One of the top names entering the market – albeit a right shot blue-liner – is Kevin Shattenkirk. On Tuesday, NBCSN’s Pierre Maguire went on TSN radio in Canada with this nugget on the former Boston University standout.
Pierre McQuire on TSN Radio tonight said he thinks Shattenkirk is going to end up with the Bruins. #Bruins

Shattenkirk to the Bruins is a pipedream that might have made sense a few years ago if he were available.
