The price Boston Bruins GM would have to pay to acquire a hard hitting defenseman from the Montreal Canadiens was just revealed.
Entering the new season, the Boston Bruins are going to be in a weird position with their current roster.
The Boston Bruins entered a retool whenever they ended up trading away key players during the NHL trade deadline in March.
If the Boston Bruins really want to be a better team entering the new season, they are going to have to do some work before the season comes.
An arena the Bruins are lacking in badly entering the new season would be their defense.
With that being said, new details reveal what the Boston Bruins would have to pay to acquire a tough Montreal Canadiens defenseman in order to bolster their defensive roster.
The defenseman in question is hard hitting, Arber Xhekaj.
The price to acquire Arber Xhekaj was just revealed to the Boston Bruins
NHL analyst Brian Wilde stated that he would be shocked if the Canadiens ended up trading away Xhekaj.
Because of that, the price to acquire him would be pretty shocking.
Take a look:
«A first-round draft pick would be the only thing they would take, to lose him. They don't need more second-rounders. I can't see him being traded, I think the organization loves him.»
Wilde appeared on the Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro and talked more about what a team would have to pay to acquire him.
"That (a second-rounder) is not going to get a trade done, because he has a very high ceiling. I don't mean that in terms of 'first-pair or second-pair,' I mean that in terms of the usefulness that he can bring to the rink every single day as somebody that scares people, as somebody that hits people, as an enforcer."
Should the Boston Bruins trade a first-round pick to acquire Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj?
