Bruins top 3 trade assets for the deadline
As the trade deadline approaches, teams are trying to figure out pieces of their roster their are willing to part with to hopefully get a better return that will help them in the playoffs.
The Bruins seem to have 3 players that they would be willing to move at the deadline to hopefully get either some high picks, help defensively or some added scoring.
The top of the Bruins list is Linus Ullmark, rumors have been surrounding the Bruins goalie for a few weeks now and this would be a great time to move him. He has been having a solid season but there is no denying that Swayman has been playing better. Plus Ullmark is older with a bigger cap hit which would make him the better piece to move. Teams looking to improve in nets can end up with a high-end goalie for a decent cap hit which makes him very attractive for the deadline.
Derek Forbort is also on this list being as he makes a lot of money for a player on a third pairing who is also having a very tough season. The return on Forbort might not be much but by getting rid of his contract it will free up cap space and allow Lohrei to make the permanent jump to the NHL.
Since the Bruins have a win-now mentality, their is the possibility that they try to move high-end prospect Fabian Lysell. Although, the young forward will certainly have a future in the NHL, if the Bruins are trying to make a push for the cup right now, he can be a player who would have a good return at the deadline.
Sweeney has a 10 more days to decide how he will want to approach the deadline if he plans on bettering the team before playoffs.
