As the NHL trade deadline approaches, Noah Hanifin emerges as a key figure in trade discussions, particularly for the Boston Bruins. Fans eagerly anticipate the possibility of the Boston native returning home to bolster the team's defense for the foreseeable future.

However, hopes were dampened when Elliotte Friedman revealed that Hanifin may prefer a move to Tampa over Boston. This revelation comes as a blow to the Bruins, who are in dire need of defensive reinforcement.

"Well, first of all, in Tampa, there is definitely a feeling that that is Noah Hanifin's preferred destination, and that is Tampa Bay."




Friedman's report indicates a strong preference for Tampa Bay as Hanifin's desired destination, complicating matters for the Bruins. With both the Lightning and the Bruins lacking high-end draft picks, trade negotiations may hinge on player exchanges rather than draft picks.

The Bruins now face the challenge of assembling a competitive trade package to rival Tampa Bay's potential offer for Hanifin, as they seek to strengthen their defense before the trade deadline.
