Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe: The Bruins will likely be looking for an experienced “all-around” right winger before the NHL trade deadline.
Pending UFA Thomas Vanek would be an option.
Sportsnet reported that the Bruins looked at Senators Mike Hoffman. Hoffman carries over a $5 million cap hit through 2020, and he wouldn’t be cheap – young NHL player, prospect, and a pick. He’s also a left shot.
Patrick Sharp could be another option for the Bruins.
With Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out, the Oilers will once again be looking improve their draft stock and hope for the first overall pick and Rasmus Dahlin.
