Even though the Boston Bruins are currently a rebuilding team, that doesn't mean that they are not looking to add some players that are in their prime rn.
This is a main reason the Boston Bruins will not trade players like David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman.
The Boston Bruins are in desperate need to acquire more competent defenders, and now a blockbuster 1-for-1 trade proposal has been made that would see Pavel Zacha head to the Buffalo Sabres in return for a top defenseman.
Zacha heading to Buffalo?
Heavy.com has suggested that the Boston Bruins should look into trading Pavel Zacha 1-for-1 for Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram.
Bruins Acquire:
Bowen Byram
Sabres Acquire:
Pavel Zacha
Bowen Byram
Sabres Acquire:
Pavel Zacha
If this trade were to happen, both teams would walk away from the trade while achieving both of their goals.
The Sabres would acquire a top-six forward like they have been looking for, while the Bruins would add a versatile defenseman that can play both the left, and right side.
Right now, the Boston Bruins currently have McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov, Mason Lohrei, Henri Jokiharju, Andrew Peeke, and Jordan Harris signed to NHL deals.
McAvoy, Lindholm and Zadorov are all top-four performers, and adding someone like Byram into the mix would give them a solid defensive core.
The Buffalo Sabres just locked up Byram to a two-year contract, but according to The Fourth Period, they could still end up moving him.
«Bowen Byram remains a prime candidate for the Sabres to move at some point this offseason.» As for what the Sabres are looking for, «Buffalo's desire is to add a top-six forward.»
Byram ended up scoring 38 points last year with the Sabres, which topped all Boston Bruins defenders.
