Boston Bruins to trade 21-year-old fan favourite: A trade may be in the works
With how crowded the Boston Bruins bottom six is, the organization may be working on a deal to trade a 21-year-old fan favourite.
This off-season has been hectic for the Boston Bruins, and they have had some big decisions to make.
Now, the Boston Bruins are facing another big decision as they look to bounce back and be contenders once again after committing to a retool during the
NHL trade deadline.
The Bruins are now facing a difficult decision involving a young, and promising center.
Poitras ended up making the Bruins roster out of training camp, but had his struggles and bounced between the NHL, and AHL last season.
The big question involving him is if the Bruins should trade the 21-year-old or not.
Would trading Matthew Poitras be a smart move by the Boston Bruins?
Poitras has shown a lot of potential over the past couple of years, but he struggled big time in the NHL last season, and that led to him spending majority of the year in the AHL.
In 33 games with the Boston Bruins,
Poitras finished with 1 goals, 10 assists for 11 points.
During his stint in the American Hockey League, Poitras ended up impressing a lot of people scoring 17 goals, 24 assists for 41 points in 40 games.
There is a bunch of potential there for Poitras, but with how crowded the Boston Bruins bottom six is, it's hard to see any room for him on the roster heading into next season.
Would trading 21-year-old fan favourite Matthew Poitras be the right move by the Boston Bruins?
