With the NHL trade deadline approaching in a month, the Boston Bruins are contending with the loss of Matthew Poitras for the season due to an injury. Despite their top position in the league, this situation might prompt the Bruins to actively search the trade market to strengthen their team for the playoffs.
Adam Henrique from the Anaheim Ducks is on their radar, known for his adaptability and playoff experience, and he's nearing free agency. Dominik Kubalik of the Ottawa Senators is also being considered; despite his recent slump, he has the potential to boost scoring in the lower lines.
Tyler Johnson from the Chicago Blackhawks is another potential acquisition, recognized for his playoff experience and scoring ability, aiming to enhance Boston's offensive capabilities.
Any of these players would add significant scoring depth and veteran presence to the Bruins, which are key elements for postseason achievements. Yet, the expense of securing such players will be a critical consideration in the Bruins' decisions as the trade deadline draws near.
