The New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins became trade deadline partners in 2016, when the Devils got a haul for Lee Stempniak. The Bruins sent two draft picks the Devils way, one that eventually went to the San Jose Sharks for Mirco Mueller and another that brought the Devils Evan Cormier. In hindsight, it seems like both teams lost that trade, but when remembering the Devils also got the pick that turned into Marian Studenic it doesn’t look so bad.
This season, the Bruins are probably the least talked about powerhouse in the NHL.
